[Python] ADB Connection Issue with Droidbot on WSL: "Cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:60997: Only one...

I'm trying to run Droidbot on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and connect to the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) server that I'm starting in PowerShell. While I can run and connect to ADB normally in PowerShell without any issues, I encounter the following error when I attempt to connect from WSL:

adb: error: cannot bind listener: cannot bind to 127.0.0.1:60997: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. (10048)


Here’s the traceback I received:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Please wait while uninstalling the app...


Context:

I start the ADB server in PowerShell and then try to run Droidbot in WSL.

I confirmed that no other process is using the port 60997.

I have restarted the ADB server multiple times.

What I’ve Tried:

Running adb kill-server and then adb start-server in both environments.

Checking for processes using port 60997 with sudo lsof -i :60997.

Attempting to use different ports in the ADB commands.

Question:

How can I resolve the port binding issue when trying to run Droidbot on WSL and connect to the ADB server running in PowerShell? Are there any specific configurations or commands I should use to facilitate this connection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
