I recently installed Ventura on my old Mac using open-core Legacy Patcher. Still, after installing android studio, the ADB devices only successfully run when the emulator is connected. Still, when I plug in an Android device, the ADB server always fails to connect.

I tried every solution on the internet and nothing worked
Any solution?

Yes, of course ;)

You have to download AMFIPass Beta and patch your system as you would normally do.
Then, when you reboot, you can go to Settings and then you can check if Disable AMFI is unchecked. If its unchecked, then it means that AMFI is enabled.

After that, you could use ADB as before.
please, do you any other solution, for me it didn't help, thank you

Could you please be more specific? Where in System Settings is the "Disable AMFI" option? I searched in the Settings search box for AMFI and nothing was returned. Just to be clear, is the objective here to have AMFI enabled? I have the latest OpenCore 0.6.8 and `ps aux` shows /usr/libexec/amfid running as root so do I take it that AMFI is enabled? adb is still not working. `adb server start` returns "ADB server didn't ACK ..." as before. That's with my Galaxy A7 connected via a cable which works fine with Anroid File Transfer.

Can you explain in more detail, please?
This post should be in the macOS Ventura on Unsupported Macs thread. The AMFIPass version of OCLP was a public beta to test the inclusion of elements of OCLP designed to resolve the use of mics and camera, etc. A full explanation is not necessary here, as that beta version is no longer available. Download the latest OCLP version 0.6.8 and retest!
The "Disable AMFI" option is not in the macOS System Settings - you would know that if the OP was in the right thread. It is in the OCLP settings, but you don't need to even check for it to get the benefits.

I don't know if this will clarify anything but I only had this issue when I upgraded Ventura to 13.3.1. Prior to this adb was working and Android Studio connected with my Galaxy A7 without problems.
