Device not showing up in VSCode, but detected in flutter

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to debug my project with a real Android device (Mi Mix 2S running Android 9.0).

It works fine when running flutter run, but I cannot find the device in VSCode.

Workaround: I had this issue as well with an iOS device. By disabling and re-enabling the Flutter plugin in VS Code, the issue was gone.

I can’t find “No devices” in my status bar, only Flutter version is there.

Make sure you’ve got a .dart file open, and if it still doesn’t appear, please attach a screenshot.

It seems like there may be a big in Flutter here though, but just to get some more info, can you do this:

Run flutter devices and confirm your device show up
Run flutter daemon -v
Once the daemon says it’s connected, paste [{"id":"1","method":"device.enable"}] into the terminal and press <enter> (you should see [{"id":"1"}] printed out)
Disconnect your device
Wait 10 seconds
Reconnected your device

Then paste the full output of all of that here.

Thanks!
