Android market is booming, and every major brand has its respective app on Android. According to a research report from Statista, there is a total of 2.8 million apps present on the Google Play Store until June 2019. These apps are made fully user-friendly by testing them via ADB using debugging applications. ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge and is often used by developers to debug the issues using a PC via a wired connection.

However, ADB also supports wireless connectivity over TCP/IP, but due to some flaws, it is not in use by most of the developers. ADB Wireless carries some constraints which bare developers its use in real-time. The wireless connectivity communicates with the host device using TCP/IP over a plain text in an unsecured environment making it prone to data theft and other hacks. Fortunately, Google appears to be working on a fully secured, native, and proper ADB Wireless implementation to fill these gaps.

According to the multiple commits posted in AOSP Gerrit by a software engineer at Google – Joshua Duong, it can create a wifi service for ADB and supports secure paring techniques. However, the exact working of the feature is not yet available and is even not confirmed by Google, but it is undoubtedly in works.

Moreover, the search giant is planning to add a new “wireless debugging” switch in the Developer Options of each device. It will allow the developers to pair device over wireless bridge using some authentication like QR code or 6-digit code.

We expect the ADB wireless to arrive with the Android 11 next year feature a secured and robust ADB Wireless connectivity for debugging. However, it is not really sure that it will debut with Android 11 as the commits are not merged yet.

Apart from ADB Wireless, there’s another way to connect the device wirelessly over ADB. The users can use ADB support for multicast DNS to connect a single-rooted device.
