platform-tools upgrade version 29.06.6

[axi92]

I have the issue that we install the platform-tools from the sdkmanager for android.
Although there is no new release note on the website
A new version is out for platform-tools: Version 29.0.6-6198805
With a new adb version:

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 29.0.6-6198805
Installed as /opt/android/platform-tools/adb

The main problem ist that the adb version is not the same as in scrcpy.

The main problem ist that the adb version is not the same as in scrcpy.

The protocol is 1.0.41, like the version shipped with scrcpy. What's the concrete issue?

I upgrade platform-tools on every release. If you want to use another adb, just set the environment variable export ADB=/path/to/your/adb before running scrcpy.

I get the message when I do adb connect IP:port and then scrcpy:

INFO: scrcpy 1.12 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
adb server version (41) doesn't match this client (39); killing...
* daemon started successfully
adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found
ERROR: "adb push" returned with value 1

And with the env var:

INFO: scrcpy 1.12 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
exec: No such file or directory
ERROR: Command not found: [/opt/android/platform-tools/adb], [push], [/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server], [/data/local/tmp/scrcpy-server.jar]
ERROR: (make 'adb' accessible from your PATH or define its fullpath in the ADB environment variable)
ERROR: Could not execute "adb push"

Oh, I guess you use the snap package, then. I think it packages adb 39, and since it runs from a sandboxed environment and cannot access your /opt/android/platform-tools/adb.

I think that it can access /home, so if you put your adb somewhere in your home, it should work: #527 (comment)

Alternatively, you could use scrcpy.adb for your others commands.

Alternatively, you could use the "normal" version (not the snap package, adb install scrcpy on Ubuntu 20.04 (not released yet) or Debian testing/sid, or build it :/)

I am on ubuntu 18.04.
I don't like snap that much because of this issue =)
I tried to set a symlink but that does not work but when I copy the adb binary to my home it works.
Thank you for your help!
