unable to connect to remote frida-server: closed

[fbruzzaniti]

I installed the project on macOS Big Sur and was able to get it up and running if I disable the option for frida in the config otherwise I get the error: unable to connect to remote frida-server: closed

Someone else mentioned the same error here frida/frida#582 and it was solved by using:
adb forward tcp:27042 tcp:27042
adb forward tcp:27043 tcp:27043

I did try that after the emulator had started but it didn't seem to help (although the commands ran successfully).

Hi @fbruzzaniti,

This project is unfortunately not ready for macOS. However, you can debug it and make a Pull Request if you want.

Happy to do some debugging and write a macOS install guide, seems like everything seems to work except frida.
Could you point me in the direction of the section of the code you guess the issue could be, otherwise I might look for where the frida client and server processes are launched and what ports they use and see if I can forward them via adb.

Yeah sure, frida's job it's done here: https://github.com/Areizen/Android-Malware-Sandbox/blob/master/lib/receiver/Frida.py

I am facing the same issue but on Ubuntu. I already tried adb forward. Any other reason this could be happening?

For adb forward, I powered up the virtual device separately and then fired those two commands. Not quite sure how else to do it as the analysis pretty much starts up and closes and on all its own.

Any help on this is highly appreciated

I fixed my issue by installing frida-tools. I.e. pip3 install Frida-tools
