Android Debug Bridge Install: Push packages to an Android emulator instance or connected Android devices. More information: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.

• Push an Android application to an emulator/device:

adb install {{path/to/file.apk}}

• Reinstall an existing app, keeping its data:

adb install -r {{path/to/file.apk}}

• Grant all permissions listed in the app manifest:

adb install -g {{path/to/file.apk}}

• Quickly update an installed package by only updating the parts of the APK that changed:

adb install --fastdeploy {{path/to/file.apk}}
