Google worries Android enthusiasts with potential on-device ADB changes that could break Shizuku

Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Google platform engineers are discussing and evaluating restricting the Android Debug Bridge daemon (adbd) to external interfaces, such as Wi-Fi (wlan0). Blocking “localhost loopback” addresses would prevent terminal emulator apps (like Termux) and permission frameworks (like Shizuku) from executing elevated on-device ADB commands without a PC. The security proposal stems from vulnerability concerns, but no decision is final, and developers have su
