Android Can't install app on Android device

With GMS 1.4 I could install my Android app with create application on my Android device.

With GMS2 Build->Create Executable only builds an apk on the PC but don't
install it on the Android device.

So I think in GMS2 Build->Run should be the right function to install the App on the Android device.
But Build->Run seems to do compile properly if I see the output. But then instead of installing
the apk on the Android device the output window generates the message - waiting for device -
all the time.

In the platform settings for Android Packaging -> Always do full install of APK
and Install on Package are checked in GMS2.

I haven't changed the settings on my Android device after the install test with GMS1.4
and deinstalled the app before trying to install the same app with GMS2.

If I input adb device in command line I get my device name and if I input adb get-state I get "device".

So what is wrong and how can I install an Android app on my device with GMS2?

The last message before the - waiting for device - output is

"D:\android-sdk-ndk\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb -s "" uninstall com.aaa.bbb
error: device '' not found"

although with adb devices I get a device name.

Yes, I didn't select a device. After selecting a device it's working well. Thank you.

Whilst it is true - I didn't read the setup instructions and expected it to work and found my answer coming here...

nobody ever intends to run the app on their " ".

Maybe add a nice prompt encouraging the user to add a device prior to running it when this happens ;)
