Adb Server Is Out of Date. Killing

How can I resolve adb server is out of date error

The root cause of the server is out of date issue is still the same regardless the OS and/or other software used - you have multiple copies of adb binary in your system. And the solution is also the same:

  • kill all running adb processes
  • make sure you have the only copy of adb (remove the duplicates)
  • update it to the latest version
  • reconfigure all your software packages to use that copy

ADB Server is out of date, killing and restarting, for no reason

It's because you have two adb servers running. The first is started by the emulator, probably from $HOME/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools directory. The second adb server is when you run adb by hand.

The adb from the command line will try to connect to the server (started by the emulator). As the server is not what the client expects, it kills the server and starts his own.

Don't start the default adb by hand, run $HOME/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb. It will work.

You need to set the path of your SDK's adb into Genymotion. By default, Genymotion uses its own ADB tool (for many reasons). If the both binaries are not compatible (if your Android SDK platform tools or Genymotion has not been updated for a while) this problem happens.

To solve it you can define a specific one from the Android SDK. To specify a custom ADB tool:

  1. Open Genymotion > Settings > ADB.
  2. Check Use custom Android SDK tools.
  3. Specify the path to the Android SDK by clicking Browse.
  4. Click OK.

update the adb to 1.0.32 if you have 1.0.31 or lower
