Which Nexus 7 do you have? Gen 1 or Gen 2? Mine is a Gen 1 and
doesn't appear to support OTG.

I think the SELinux changes that prevent libusb access came as part
of Android 7 - but they weren't adopted by some of the non-Google
Android makers. Cyanogen works. Samsung and Google phones
running Android 7 don't appear to work. But that's all anecdotal at
this point.
