Details

Description:
After installing the package, in order to actually use it (resolving the error 'insufficient privileges for device' on any command) it is necessary to `udevadm control --reload-rules`.

I got there via https://android.stackexchange.com/a/208644/63711, which led me to the source (the suggested rules file doesn't exist), and finally android-udev. A rules file is installed - no need for me to copy into /etc - but not reloaded.

Maybe it makes sense for android-udev not to reload it for you, but android-tools is unusable without it.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 33.0.3-3
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
1. `pacman -Sy android-tools`
2. Connect device by usb
3. `adb shell`
This task depends upon

This sounds more like a docs issue rather an Arch packaging bug. There is related mention here [1] but I would have thought the reload would happen automatically.
