Re: [android-developers] Re: upgrade to 4.2.2 -- Eclipse sees device offline and unknown
Unfortunately it is a bit of a mess. You have to install it for each user. And if you want to get properly rid of of your app you must uninstall it for each user account. I once had a stupid situation where I had to install a downgraded version of one of my apps for reproducing a bug. It was not enough to just uninstall the app for the one account I was testing on. I had to do it for all. It seems like the APK is shared, which is reasonable of course, given limited storage space. However, I still think that the lack of a notification is worth a bug report. You have to explicitly activate USB debugging for your secondary account anyway, so it's not just a primary privilege of your main account. Not getting any kind of notification or error message made me waste 10 minutes trying to figure out what was going on. I even believed that the latest update bricked the USB debugging feature.
