Connection refused: ADB connection from Iphone to windows

Question

I am trying to build a watch face for Android wear. The Android wear is an emulator and the device that I have is an iPhone connected via USB to my windows laptop

I have followed the instructions from the below link

https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html , verified device compatibility as per https://www.android.com/wear/check/ and have also followed responses as per the answers @ adb connection over tcp not working now, however I am receiving the following error

unable to connect to :5555: cannot connect :5555: No conn ection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)

on an android device, this happens when you are not on the same network — user3802077, Nov 23 '16 at 20:23
@user3802077, I am using an IPhone, however I have made sure that my device and laptop are on the same wi-fi n/w — Mahesh N, Nov 23 '16 at 20:24

Actively refused it means that the host sent a reset instead of an ack when you tried to connect. It is therefore not a problem in your code. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that port. You may also want to check these SO posts: Trouble debugging android wear over bluetooth - Unable to connect to localhost and No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it? which also stated that the machine exists but that it has no services listening on the specified port, or there is a firewall stopping you. You may check it out.

Thanks. I was able to figure out with some research that getting to have iPhone with a wearable emulator may not be possible and decided to have both my device and wearable as emulators. – Mahesh N Nov 24 '16 at 18:46

Thanks. I was able to figure out with some research that getting to have iPhone with a wearable emulator may not be possible and decided to have both my device and wearable as emulators. Though it was difficult, I was able to get both my emulators talk to each other with the below link Pairing Android and Wear emulators and https://kennethmascarenhas.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/developing-for-android-wear-with-emulators/?utm_source=Android%20Weekly&utm_campaign=a97f04efe2-Android_Weekly_116&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4eb677ad19-a97f04efe2-337259209 with a minor change to authentication, which I have included as comment in the stackoverflow post
