How to enable WiFi debugging on real devices

Hello Android developers!
Today I want to share with those who don't know that could use their Android devices over the WiFi for debugging. 😀
The task is really simple!
First, you have to check if there's an opened socket already on the 5555 port on your device:
$ ./adb shell netstat | grep 5555
If calling this returns nothing you have to manually set it:
$ ./adb tcpip 5555
Now if you don't know the device's local IP address, one way to find it out is through the phone's settings:
Settings -> About phone -> Status -> IP address
And then connect to it:
$ ./adb connect YOUR_DEVICE_IP
That's all!
Open your Android Studio and try to run your app. Now you have to see the device in the Select Deployment Target
dialog.
Happy coding! 👻
