Encountering difficulties with the Wi-Fi pairing feature in Android Studio can be frustrating, especially when it was functioning perfectly before. If you are receiving an error message stating, “This system does not meet the requirements to support Wi-Fi pairing,” despite having updated all components, you’re not alone. Below, we provide a comprehensive guide to troubleshoot and resolve this issue effectively.
Quick Fix: Adjusting ADB mDNS Settings
One of the most effective solutions involves tweaking the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) settings within Android Studio. Follow these steps:
- Open Android Studio and navigate to File > Settings.
- Under Build, Execution, Deployment, select Debugger.
- Uncheck the option for Enable adb mDNS for wireless debugging and click Apply.
- Wait a few seconds, then recheck the same option and click Apply again.
- If prompted by Windows Defender, allow network access to ADB.
This adjustment often resolves the issue by resetting the network access permissions for ADB.
Extended Solution: Checking Android Studio Logs
If the quick fix does not resolve the issue, further investigation into the Android Studio logs may provide insights. Here’s how:
- Go to Help > Show Log in Explorer in Android Studio.
- Look for error messages related to the ADB mDNS daemon, such as “ERROR: mdns daemon unavailable.”
- If such errors are present, repeat the steps in the quick fix section to reset the mDNS settings.
Additional Solutions
If the problem persists, consider these alternative solutions:
- Unset the
ADB_MDNS_OPENSCREENenvironment variable. Use PowerShell to execute:
$env:ADB_MDNS_OPENSCREEN=1
adb kill-server
adb start-server - Reinstall the platform-tools via Android Studio’s SDK Manager to ensure the latest version is being used.
- Invalidate caches in Android Studio: File > Invalidate Caches > Invalidate and Restart.
