Step 1: Prepare Your Wear OS Device Enable Developer Options on your Wear OS device:

Go to Settings > About > Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer Options. Enable ADB Debugging and Debug over Wi-Fi:

In Settings > Developer Options, turn on ADB Debugging and Debug over Wi-Fi. Note the IP address of your Wear OS device:

It’s usually displayed under Debug over Wi-Fi in the Developer Options. Step 2: Set Up the Virtual Phone Launch Android Studio and create a new AVD (Android Virtual Device) that mimics the phone you want to pair.

Use the Phone profile for the virtual device. Start the virtual phone and ensure it is running properly.

Step 3: Connect to the Wear OS Device Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the Android SDK platform-tools directory.

For example: bash Copy code cd /path/to/sdk/platform-tools Use the adb connect command to connect to the Wear OS device:

bash Copy code adb connect <WEAR_OS_DEVICE_IP>:5555 Replace <WEAR_OS_DEVICE_IP> with the actual IP address you noted earlier.

Verify the connection:

bash Copy code adb devices Your Wear OS device should appear in the list.

Step 4: Pair the Wear OS Device with the Virtual Phone Open the Wear OS app on your virtual phone (download it from the Play Store if not pre-installed).

Follow the on-screen instructions to pair the Wear OS device with the virtual phone:

Ensure both devices are on the same network. The pairing process will involve selecting the Wear OS device from the app. Troubleshooting: ADB Connection Issues: Ensure both the Wear OS device and the host machine are on the same Wi-Fi network. Restart debugging options if needed. Virtual Phone Performance: Use a high-performance system and allocate sufficient resources to the AVD in Android Studio. Once paired, you can deploy apps to the Wear OS device directly from Android Studio while using the virtual phone for testing and communication.
