Disable ADB Authorization Timeout

Disabling the ADB authorization timeout prevents the device from automatically revoking ADB authorization, which is essential for maintaining a continuous debugging or automation session.

Steps

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Developer options.
  3. Find the ADB authorization timeout option.
  4. Toggle it to the OFF position.

When this setting is disabled, the device will maintain ADB authorization indefinitely, allowing automation tools to maintain a stable connection to the device without requiring periodic reauthorization. This is crucial for long-running test sessions and automated test suites.
