MacBook Pro not detecting Raspberry Pi Zero W

Thank you so much for making this, I have always wanted to resurrect my iSight Camera!

I have started to order the parts for this project and I am at the point where I can start installing the software. I have both a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 (and a micro-sd card too). I also have the Anker Micro-USB cord too.

I started the software part of this project by installing Raspbian and followed the installation instructions via SSH over a Micro-USB Ethernet Adapter. I also connected it to my WiFi network too. After I finished all of the installation steps, I plugged it into my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" running MacOS Catalina (10.15.6). My MBP didn't detect it, even in a "System Report".

I have tried troubleshooting by doing the following:

• Using the Anker Micro-USB cord with an Android Phone and my MBP. It worked.
• Taking pictures with my Raspberry Pi Zero W over SSH.
• Trying different Raspberry Pi Zero Ws.
• Reinstalling the software on my Pis.
• Different Micro-SD Cards

I am not sure how to proceed as I couldn't find anything online. This is my first Raspberry Pi Project so I am sorry if there is something obvious that I am missing.

No source files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the installation instructions and reproducing the USB connection on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with macOS Catalina, then determine whether the device-detection failure can be isolated and documented as resolved or an unsupported setup.
