Thank you for writing this script!

I created a npm cli package from this reference

Thanks @benigumocom ,
also thanks @saleehk for making cli over it

although it currently gives an error : adb.exe: usage: adb pair [:]

In your script, NAME=debug & PASS=123456
what do these values mean? (where can i find them)

With the help of ChatGPT, I managed to modify the script to run on MacOS Ventura

Terminal Prompt:

Enter the name for wireless debugging: {input-any-name-here}
Enter the password for wireless debugging: {random-numbers-max-5}

NOTE: For this script to work you must have connected to the mobile device in the past.

I rewrote the script in a more "modern" way.
