I am thinking that if the IP can be seen in the “abd devices” command that it should be visible in the device manager? I could be wrong.

I have the adb.exe path in the system environment PATH variable. C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

1 – On my phone - USB debugging is on.

2 – On my phone - wireless debugging is on.

(Now, on my phone - "Pair device with pairing code".

3 – in the VS adb command prompt:

D:\IQsys\IQWorksMSP>adb pair 192.XXX.XXX.XXX:38313

Enter pairing code: 249543

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037

* daemon started successfully

Successfully paired to 192.XXX.XXX.XXX:38313 [guid=adb-R5CX20V9RAJ-oOaVBT]

 

D:\IQsys\IQWorksMSP>adb connect 192.XXX.XXX.XXX:36755

connected to 192.XXX.XXX.XXX:36755

 

D:\IQsys\IQWorksMSP>

D:\IQsys\IQWorksMSP>adb devices

List of devices attached

192.XXX.XXX.XXX:36755      device

 

 

D:\IQsys\IQWorksMSP>

 

This is the adb device manager:

(the adb device manager only shows “Android_Accelerated_x86_Oreo Android 81- API 27 x86”

My phone is a samsung galaxy s24

 

the path I have in my system environment PATH variable I have : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools.

in VS Options, Xamarin, Adroid settings I have:

java development kit location : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\openjdk\jdk-17.0.12

andriod SDK location : C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

archives location : C:\Users\iqworks\AppData\Local\Xamarin\Mono for Android\Archives

 

  This causes me to continually publish my project, even when I make a small change in order to see how my project looks on a mobile device. Eventually, my web hosting breaks and has to be reset.

 

Thanks so much for any help or advice.
