Debugging Android stops on ' Sending WAIT chunk'
Answered
I'm testing the waters switching from Android Studio to IntelliJ IDEA. A project I'm currently working on won't debug in IDEA (either the 2017.1 EAP or 2016.3.2). The app (on the emulator or a couple of devices running different Android versions) stops with the 'waiting for debugger' dialogue, and in the IDEA debugger console at ' Sending WAIT chunk'. None of the dumb-but-standard approaches to dealing with adb issues (restarting device, IDE, un/replugging cable etc) have any effect, and the problem always occurs.
Debugging the same app (on the same devices) works fine on Android Studio.
Is this a known issue (I couldn't find anything in Youtrack)? Anything anyone here has come across before in IDEA?

See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000008030-Debugger-doesn-t-connect-automatically-after-app-is-installed for the same report.
The issue could be project specific, that is why we need a proper bug report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with more details and the steps to reproduce.
Thanks Serge. I will submit a report if I can figure out what's different between this project and others that don't suffer the same issue. It's a client project so I can't share it. Pending that I'll have to stick with Android Studio for now.
OK I managed to thin out a project in which this was happening to a very minimal form and posted a bug report at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-166153
Thank you for the detailed bug report.
