Remote Install via ADB
All guides above support silent ADB installation over WiFi or USB — no confirmation dialog on the target device. The flow is the same for every device type:
- Enable Wireless Debugging (WiFi) or USB Debugging (cable) on the target device
- Navigate to the APK in AnExplorer on your phone → tap Remote Install
- Enter the target device's IP address and pairing code (WiFi) or accept the USB prompt
- Tap Install — the app installs silently
