tldr:
I have an Acer Chromebook laptop which can also be used as a tablet. Can I connect it to my Mac as a device for Android Studio?
Detailed version:
I have a Mac on which I've installed Android Studio for developing Android and Chrome-OS applications. I want to debug an app for chrome-os, but not on the emulator, but on a real device. Can I connect the Acer Chromebook to my Mac for debugging (it's possible to connect Android phone to the Mac, but I don't know about Chrome-OS devices).
If it's not possible, what's the best way to debug an app the that specific device?
The ways to debug apps on Chromebook from another device are debugging via USB or debugging via WIFI.

I am developping an Ios application with Xamarin.Ios under a windows pc connected with a Mc through network. I am juste wondering when I need to debug in a real device (Iphone) should I plug the device in the Mac or in the pc? Thank You
You must to connect the device to Mac. But that's not all. You must setting up your device for development. It is detail manual.
I am trying to debug a Xamarin application on my iPhone which is connected to my Windows machine but Visual Studio does not display my iPhone in the options list. It displays an option named "Device" and when I click debug choosing it, "please select a valid device" warning appears.
From the image shown on https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/debugging_in_xamarin_ios/, it seems like Xamarin supports debugging on an iPhone connected to the Windows machine (it shows "Amy's iPhone 6" on the list) but I can't have VS list my device. What can be the problem?
As of now, you can not compile or deploy apps for iOS on Windows. Your Windows machine where you develop the Xamarin app on needs to be connected to a MacOS device. When you hit Debug the iOS compiler on MacOS will compile the code and create the app package. Your iPhone needs to be connected there as well. See here for more info on that.

Apple does not allow to build apps for their platforms on other operating systems. So even if this would technically be possible, you will always need a MacOS for this.
I am implementing a Xamarin app for UWP (and Android and iOS). I'm using VS2015 in VMWare Fusion VM on a Macbook Pro. I am able to build and debug the UWP app in an Emulator without any problems. However I am not able to deploy and debug to a connected Lumia 950 phone over USB. The deployment starts and fails after a while with the message: DEP0001: Unexpected Error -2147023436.
It looks to me as if the file transfer over the USB is not working - however the device is connected and I can communicate with it from the virtual machine.
I have tried a lot, such as using the WinAppDeployCmd.exe command line tool to deploy to the phone. It recognizes the device and starts the package upload and then hangs.
Anybody had the same problem?
In reading the Adobe PhoneGap documentation they seem to have left out any information about running in a virtualized environment.
As you probably know, you cannot plug a mobile device into a virtualized desktop. I'm not referring to a desktop that is running virtualized software like Parallels(tm) on a Mac. I'm talking about a truly virtualized desktop running on a Linux Xen Host Server.
I'm running Microsoft Windows 2012 Server O/S on a Citrix Xen Desktop v6.5. The host server does not support GPU nor hardware acceleration, and installing Intel's HAXM fails reporting my computer does not support this technology either.
I've found that I can only create an AVD using the ARM versions of the android emulators from the Android SDK. And yes, they are slow.
I did glean some great info from : How can I run Android emulator for Intel x86 Atom without hardware acceleration on Windows 8 for API 21 and 19?.
So now that I have my s-l-o-w android emulator working with PhoneGap ... does anyone know how I can find a Windows and/or iOS emulator that PhoneGap might work with? Is this even possible?
I see all the Windows emulators requiring the .NET framework - rather than any java SDK's and I've heard that you can just forget about iOS development on anything other than a MAC product.
Thanks all!

I am looking for some good smartphone emulators for web development on mac os x.
For iPhone we us iOS Simulator which works well, but we have been using Eclipse for Android emulation and it is bulky. We are mainly interested in Android, Nokia, Palm and blackberry. It would be great if there was a windows 7 mobile emulator, but I would doubt that.
Thanks,
James
can't help you much with android, palm or blackberry default browsers as you will more than likely need to run windows on a mac to get them emulators however you have a few other options.
Nokia have an online emulator suite for signed up developer (free)

Just checked and the nokia emulator doesn't have any windows phones
then a few browser emulators
