You will be prompted to review and accept all pending licenses. Once accepted, a licenses folder is created, and the SDK platform-tools are officially verified for automated use. Step 3: Verify Device Connection
When you type adb version or fastboot --version into a shell, the system searches through the directories listed in your global environment variables ( PATH ). If an older, unverified version of ADB—often bundled by third-party device drivers or synchronization software—appears higher in the PATH sequence, the system will execute that version instead of your newly verified deployment.

This section provides platform-specific instructions for verifying the Platform Tools.
Avoid unofficial distributions
For developers using the official Android tooling chain, verification is handled automatically. The sdkmanager command-line tool:
Once downloaded, you can explicitly verify that the file has not been altered or corrupted during transit. This is achieved by checking the cryptographic hash of the ZIP archive or verifying its digital signature.
