I feel like most of this could reuse what already holds true in the Ubuntu install section above, that way we don't repeat ourselves

| Now you need to install the Windows version of ADB (Android Debug Bridge): |

isn't the version "shipped" by buildozer enough?

In my tests ADB for Windows was needed to detect the USB connected Android device. Maybe Windows Subsystem for Linux does not have direct access to hardware. ADB in Windows detects the USB device and start the daemon. ADB in buildozer (in WSL) connects to the daemon and access the USB device.

yes, i did spend some time supporting an user in that case sometime ago, WSL indeed doesn't have USB support, so the only way is to use the adb daemon started in windows.

it's probably a good idea to add a note so they get the same adb version as the one installed by buildozer, even if it's probably going to happen by default most of the time, as if they do not, every time they will run one adb on any side, this one will kill the daemon and restart it, so it won't work.
