Android SDK Platform-Tools (commonly called “platform-tools”) is a small but essential set of command-line tools Android developers and power users rely on every day. The package includes adb (Android Debug Bridge), fastboot, and a few other utilities that let you interact with Android devices for debugging, flashing, file transfers, and more.
