This will list the connected devices; if "unathorised" appears, this means that you have to unblock your mobile and accept the connection.
This indicates to the device that it has to start and adb server in port 5555:
adb tcpip 5555
Connect to that IP and that Port:
adb connect <IP>:<PORT>
If you get an error like the following in a Virtual Android software (like Genymotion):
adb server version (41) doesn't match this client (36); killing...
It's because you are trying to connect to an ADB server with a different version. Just try to find the adb binary the software is using (go to C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion and search for adb.exe)
adb uninstall -k com.test.app Keep the data and cache directories around after package removal.
