Run/install/debug Android applications over Wi-Fi?

Question

I thought there was a way to test your applications in development over Wi-Fi. Is this possible?

I\'d love to be able to untether my phone and develop wirelessly.

Steps for Android Wifi debugging with ADB:

$> adb devices   // check all usb debuggable devices connected.

$> adb -d shell  // Access device shell.

shell> ifconfig  // Check and copy wifi ip-address eg:192.168.1.90

shell> exit      // Exit from android device shell.

$> adb tcpip 5000   // open TCP port 5000 (or any available)

$> adb connect 192.168.1.90:5000  // connect to device via wifi ip over specific TCP port.

$> adb devices   // you will get debuggabled android device over wifi.

Required: Connect your android device to computer via USB with developer mode enabled. Also connect your android device and computer to same wifi router (or use tethering).
