Q: How to run flutter app on device without usb or connecting to computer

Question

Is it possibly to run flutter app on device without connecting to computer, something like expo for Flutter?

Answer 1

assuming that you're using an Android device, it should be possible if you pre-connect the device to the computer wirelessly after some initial setup provided here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#wireless

Answer 2

You can use adb wifi plugin. Or else you can use these commands(Which is mentioned in here). You can write a *.bat file with these commands.

adb tcpip 5555
adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 // IP address of your device xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555
echo finished - unplug USB connection
pause

Note: This is only for Android devices

Answer 3

For Android:

1. Connect your Android device and adb host computer to a common Wi-Fi network accessible to both. Beware that not all access points are suitable; you might need to use an access point whose firewall is configured properly to support adb.
2. If you are connecting to a Wear OS device, turn off Bluetooth on the phone that's paired with the device.
3. Connect the device to the host computer with a USB cable.

4. Set the target device to listen for a TCP/IP connection on port 5555.

   adb tcpip 5555

5. Disconnect the USB cable from the target device.

6. 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.

7. Connect to the device by its IP address.

   adb connect device_ip_address

8. 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:

1. Make sure that your host is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network your Android device is.
2. Reconnect by executing the adb connect step again.

3. Or if that doesn't work, reset your adb host:

   adb kill-server Then start over from the beginning.

If you don't want to do all these steps manually then you can use this plugin in Android Studio:
