In this article I am going to show you how you can debug your android app over WiFi.

Yes I know it is very hectic to debug your Android app with USB cable if your cable is
broken or not functioning or you don’t have a cable and you have borrowed it from
someone for few minutes.

It will require only few steps to get this done.

Step 1 : Connect your adb host computer and your


android phone to same network

Make sure that your android phone and your host computer are connected on the same
network then you will be able to debug your app.

STEP 2 : If you are connecting to a Wear OS device, turn


off Bluetooth on the phone that’s paired with the device.

STEP 9 : Remove the USB cable


Remove the USB cable and you should be connected to your device. If you don’t see it
in adb devices then just reconnect using the previous steps command

STEP 10 : Confirm that your host computer is connected


to the target device
$ adb devices
List of devices attached

If the adb connection is ever lost:

1. Make sure that your host is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network your Android
device is.

2. Reconnect by executing the adb connect step again.

3. Or if that doesn’t work, reset your adb host:

adb kill-server
Then start over from the beginning.

Hope this helps you, if you have any query let me know in the comments section.

Thank you
