Doesn’t work for me. Here is the output

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
error: no devices/emulators found
Performing Push Install
adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found

Hi,

Is your emulator device running when you are getting this error?

The error clearly states that adb is not able to connect to any of the devices/emulators.

Please make sure that your emulator is in the running state.
