Using ADB with WSL2

In a Windows 10 environment, in order to use the Android emulator in Windows and starting a React-Native app in WSL2; here are the required steps I need to configure the computer to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

Computer specifications:

• Windows 10 Pro Insider — build 19541
• WSL 2 — Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
• ADB — version 1.0.41 (29.0.5–5949299)

What the script does:

• remove any previous port mapping on port 5037 (default port of ADB)
• start the ADB server
• add port mapping for 0.0.0.0:5037 to 127.0.0.1:5037
• start WSL (to ensure the virtual interface is created; see below)
• disable the firewall for the virtual interface “vEthernet (WSL)”
