[Feature request] Download adb for Windows at runtime

Open mrrfv opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

Keeping adb binaries in the project files isn't a good idea since it may decrease trust, doesn't auto-update and can potentially be used as an attack vector (see XZ). Downloading the program directly from Google (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip) avoids this risk, but introduces a privacy issue and the requirement of having an available internet connection. I'd like to hear others' opinions on this before any changes are made.
