Description

Hi All,

I am working on two apps that use a Wifi Direct connection to connect to each other. I wanted to use this to update one of the apps as I make very frequent changes to the code. However, when I connect my laptop to the Wifi Direct network Wifi ADB still gives me the "Please connect to the same Wifi network" error. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks, Washingdone

Research direction
Investigate how the plugin detects WiFi network connectivity. Look at the source code (likely in the plugin's main class) for the condition that shows the 'Please connect to the same Wifi network' error. Consider whether WiFi Direct connections are treated as a separate network interface. The maintainer may need to clarify if this is a known limitation or a bug that can be fixed. No pull requests or comments provide guidance.
