Hi,

I am using 87.0.4258.0 prebuild version of Chromium OS. I want to sideload Android apps on chromium OS. I am referring an article (https://beebom.com/how-sideload-android-apps-chromebook/). In the article step 2 instructs for enabling the ADB Debugging using the Options 'Linux -> Develop Android Apps -> Enable the toggle for ADB Debugging'. But I am not able to see 'Develop Android Apps' option in my build. Could you help me to enable "ADB Debugging" mode. I have also experienced the issue with 87.0.4262.0 build also.

Thanks,
Sujay

Some of us are also trying to determine why that option is not available on some devices.

I don't know if it's an architecture (x86_64 / ARM) issue or a kernel version (kernelnext uprev) issue or something else.
We are getting topics in the Chromebook Help forum about this too so it would be great to get an authoritative response.

Is it possible that you have the primary user on the Chromebook a
enterprise user? As I believe the android adb access feature is not
supported for users in customers of Google business/enterprise
accounts.

Hi Maks,

For your information, I have installed chromium OS on Dell laptop and I am login to device using my personal google account.
Still I am not clear could you please elaborate more on your last reply?

Regards,
Sujay

As far as I know ChromiumOS does not have support for the Android
runtime so would then not have the option to use adb to connect from
the linux container.

I was able to enable it by going to the settings page with a direct url
chrome://os-settings/crostini/androidAdb 

This is not a kernel issue because it disappeared and I used to have it. for device logs, screenshots, or anything else contact me at msie...@gmail.com
