Android devices with USB debugging mode enabled are not detected when they are forwarded to macOS

When an Android device with USB debug mode enabled is forwarded to macOS, is not correctly detected and is not made available on the remote machine.

On client side, it appears like the device is constantly unplugged and plugged. The NoMachine UI shows the device with a green dot like if it correctly forwarded. On the remote macOS listing devices with 'ioreg -p IOUSB'  shows the Android device but it's unusable.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable USB debugging on the Android device
2. Forward that device to macOS inside a NoMachine session
