Hi all. I was down in NYC yesterday with my Mac and Xcode enabling all our QA iOS devices as devices for development with Xcode 7.1 so our QA team could use the Network Link Conditioner with our app.
A lovely 18 hour day. Today, I hear from one of our QA members that installing a our app from the iOS App Store has caused the developer mode to be disabled on one of our devices that I had just set up yesterday. There appears to be a large amount of confusion as to just how and when the current version of Xcode configures an iOS device to be in "developer mode" and what disables it. I would appreciate some clarity on this subject as I spent all day yesterday in another state so that we could enable developer mode on our team's devices. Basically a 4 AM to a 10 PM day, since we could not enable this functionality remotely. It appears that any iOS device that is plugged in to a Mac that is running Xcode automatically configures the device for "development use" and enables the Developer Settings app and the Network Link Conditioner. In the past, there was a button that we clicked to enable this functionality. Now it is very vague when it happens and why it happens. Could someone clarify how enabling developer mode works now in Xcode 7.1? In the current implementation it is terribly vague how and when this happens. Is my QA engineer correct in that installing a copy of our app from the iOS App Store would disable developer mode on a device I just enabled it on yesterday? Finally, which actions would disable developer mode on an iOS device? How is the accomplished so that we know what to never do. I don't want to spend another 18 hour day to go to another state so that we can enable developer mode on all our devices and then find out the next day that the setting is disabled. Is there any spec or documentation on when this changed and how it works now? The ability to shape the network specifics is critical functionality that we need for our QA team. If it magically turns off and we don't know why, that's a little bit of a massive waste of resources for our team. Thank you.
