According to the source, the ideal candidate to host this feature is Android 11, the future version of the green robot that will debut next year. However, it is not possible to know for sure when and if ADB wireless will actually arrive.
The ADB – an acronym for Android Debug Bridge – is a very important function for developers and modding lovers. It allows them to control the smartphone via PC. Although there are methods that allow you to use ADB wirelessly, these are not very secure and are more complex. In fact, a static IP is required and data transfer is via simple text, which creates some security problems, especially if connected to an unreliable network.
