Device File Explorer is not showing in Rider
Hi,
I was using Rider for Xamarin development for a while, it worked well, and Device File Explorer was available, from the Device Manager (via the icon), however, not sure when and why, but suddenly I'm not able to open the Device File Explorer from the Device Manager windows in React Native project.
I can see logs from the device, so the connection between IDE and the device works, I guess.

Can you help me identify the problem? Do you need logs? If so, where are located?

Does it help if you remove the Android facet from the projet and enable the option `Settings | Tools | Android Emulator | Launch in a tool window`?
Hi, not sure what happened, but after upgrading to version 2023.3 I could see the Device Manager in the menu and activate support for Android, and after that, the Device File Explorer works as expected. Before the upgrade I didn't have the Device Manager option in the menu, so I guess, that was the reason.
