adb -s 192.168.1.6:5555 … error: more than one device/emulator

Question

I am working with react native, and would like to switch adb to wifi for easier debugging.

I connect my device using usb, then type these commands.

adb t         


        

Answer 1

I made two changes to the steps to get this working.

1) BEFORE disconnecting the wire from my phone, I ran adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:5555 (note the 5555 port number for the phone) and adb connectMY.PHONE.IP.ADDRESS:5555` (with port number).

Only now did I disconnect the wire.

Then I installed the app, although it probably would work if the app was already installed.

2) After the app was installed and I was getting errors "Unable to load Script” and “Could not connect to development server”,

• opened the developer menu (shake the phone with the React Native app open) and selected “Dev Settings”. Selected “Debug server host & port for device” from the menu.
• In the window on my phone I entered MY.COMPUTER.IP.ADDRESS:8081

Now I could open/close the app for a reload, and shake -> debug JS remotely.
