1157893 - Create a toggle for developer mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect, P1)

Description

[Doug Sherk (:drs) (inactive)]

Let's add a toggle to WebIDE that lets us enable/disable developer mode for a connected device. The pref is "dom.apps.developer_mode". We should also disable Necko security as part of this. Fabrice, what's the pref that we need set here?

As discussed with Alex, we will add these prefs to the current switch that already exists in webIDE to allow debugging of certified apps.
The prefs are:
dom.apps.developer_mode and network.disable.ipc.security

I guess we need to add these changes there: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/devtools/webide/content/runtimedetails.js#141 ?

Yes, and there:

As the WebIDE toggle is only going to work for rooted devices,
whereas the toggle in the settings app would be available in any build!
