• 📡 Enable WiFi debugging (adb tcpip 5555)
• 🔗 Connect to devices by IP:PORT
• ❌ Disconnect devices
• 💻 Run ADB shell commands
• 🔲 Generate QR code for IP:PORT (scan on another machine/device)
• 🖥️ Cross-platform helper (Windows, macOS, Linux)

🚀 Installation

1. Download the Latest Version.vsix package from the releases (or build manually).

2. In VSCode, run:

   code --install-extension adb-wifi-qr-0.1.1.vsix
   
   

3. Reload VSCode.

🔧 Requirements

• Android SDK Platform Tools (adb) must be installed.
• Ensure adb is in your system PATH, or set the environment variable ADB_PATH.

📖 Usage

   This defaults to port 5555.

2. Connect via IP:PORT

ADB: Shell Command

and enter the shell command (e.g. pm list packages).

6. Generate QR for IP:PORT

1. Run:

   ADB: Generate QR
   

2. Enter your device IP:PORT.

3. A QR code will be shown (share/scan with another system for quick connect).

🐞 Troubleshooting

• no devices/emulators found → Ensure USB debugging is enabled on your device. → Check adb devices in terminal.

• failed to connect to <ip>:5555 → Make sure device and PC are on the same WiFi network. → Check firewall settings.

• Windows users (CRLF warnings) → Git may warn about LF will be replaced by CRLF. Safe to ignore.
