CommandError: No Android connected device found

[bennycode]

I am developing on Windows 11 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). I have now the challenge that I am running my Expo app through Ubuntu/WSL but I also have to loop my Android device connection from Windows to the WSL. Thankfully there was this guide that showed me how to host an adb server on Windows and how to connect to it from Ubuntu.

Hosting it on Windows:

adb -a -P 5037 nodaemon server

Running adb devices on Ubuntu:

adb -H 172.20.16.1 -P 5037 devices

When I try to run now expo run:android, I am getting the following error:

CommandError: No Android connected device found, and no emulators could be started automatically.

My guess is that Expo calls adb without the -H 172.20.16.1 -P 5037 flags. Is there an option / env config to set these flags?
