I am trying to execute and debug a program that I am developing in Android Studio (version: Koala | 2024.1.1 Patch 1) on my physical mobile (a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) via WiFi.
The paring (be it via QR-code or via pairing code) always ends in “Connecting to device. This takes up to 2 minutes” and after that time invariably fails with “an error occured connecting device. Scan to try again”, i.e. I NEVER get a working connection.

I had this working a few months back with the precursor of Koala (Jellyfish). It also hadn’t been very stable back then but typically after 2 or 3 attempts one got this working and once the connection was set up it worked OK. With Koala I have been completely out of luck so far. This is SO frustrating! Any ideas anyone what one could check and/or try to get this going?

I already rebooted my Laptop (MS Surface Pro 8) – didn’t make a difference.
