Please follow below instructions :-
- First make sure to connect your Mac and phone to same WiFi.
- Enable USB debugging in your android phone for more help please use this link
- Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable.
- Set the target device to listen for a TCP/IP connection on port 5555.
adb tcpip 5555
5. Find the IP address of the Android device. For example, on a Nexus device, you can find the IP address at Settings > About tablet (or About phone) > Status > IP address. Or, on a Wear OS device, you can find the IP address at Settings > Wi-Fi Settings > Advanced > IP address
6. Connect to the device by its IP address with port 5555
adb connect <device_ip_address>:5555
7. Disconnect the USB cable from the target device.
8. You can Confirm that your host computer is connected to the target device :
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
device_ip_address:5555 device
You’re now good to go!
If the adb connection is ever lost :
- Make sure that your host is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network your Android device is.
- Reconnect by executing the
adb connect
step again. - Or if that doesn’t work, reset your adb host:
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
Then start over from the beginning.
