Just wanted to document the steps for how to monitor debug messages and such for a running Unity application on Android for Mac:

Step 1:

Open up a Terminal window.

Step 2:

In Finder locate the adb application in the Android SDK (under platform-tools as of writing this).

Step 3:

Drag the adb application into your terminal window to autocomplete the path.

Step 4:

Add “logcat -s Unity” after the adb application path (without the quotes). Your command should now look similar to: …android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/adb logcat -s Unity OR just add “logcat” to gain access to everything the device is sending in case you need more detail.

Step 5:

Press return and get your debug on.
