Insufficient rights

Hello guys,

I guess I might have a problem. I have tried to connect my device to the computer and Android Studio detects it without any issues but each time I try to run an app on the device, I get an error message saying "insufficient rights". Has anyone else faced the same issue?

I am not sure, but perhaps you might need to enable Developer Mode first.

Hey Nikita,

I ran into exactly the same problem. Search the mobile device you're using and make sure all drivers are installed. Also make sure that developer mode is switched on.

You can find the drivers, and how to activate developer mode by searching your device on Google.

That worked for me! :)
