Hi,

I’ve read this tutorial:  
[https://discuss.appium.io/t/tutorial-how-to-run-tests-on-real-android-device-remotely-through-wi-fi/1135](https://discuss.appium.io/t/tutorial-how-to-run-tests-on-real-android-device-remotely-through-wi-fi/1135)

to connect adb to smartphone through wifi.

If you want to run some adb command when you have several smartphones connected, you need to specify the ip of the device:  
adb -s 199.64.70.96:3389 some command

I think Appium is running some adb command based on the bid of smartphone, not the ip.

So I am pretty sure Appium cannot work with real smartphones connected by wifi.

Can you confirm my thought?  
Or is it possible, and if yes, should I do something special with Appium to make it work with wifi connected devices?

Thanks for your help.
