reverse

Manage reverse port forwarding.

Reverse port forwarding (reverse tunnel) allows you to listen on a socket address on the device. When an app on Android connects to that address, the connection can be handled by your program on the host.

Errors​

declare class AdbReverseError extends Error {}

declare class AdbReverseNotSupportedError extends AdbReverseError {}

ADB daemon on Android 8 and below had a bug that prevented reverse port forwarding from working when ADB is connected over Wi-Fi. When this happens, an AdbReverseNotSupportedError will be thrown.

ADB daemon may also return other errors, a general AdbReverseError will be thrown in this case. The message field contains a human-readable error message from ADB Daemon.
