patdel65 It's not only for third party apps, it's to control mytv on my computer, edit channels, add portals, etc. On computer it's so easy, on remote is a pain in my ass, if they remove something we already have just to say it's a security risk? Really??? Security risk?? The ones that enable developer mode already know it's a security risk in some environments, not on my local network. It's a security risk since ~2010.
And protecting the code of MOL 3/4 is one thing and i understand, what i don't understand is why disabling developer mode is protecting anything if we still can enable it for the other stuff on formuler, just mytv is asking to disable it or it doesn't work. it seems to me this is to avoid the best thing this android boxes have that is when we don't want to be in the same room as formuler we watch stuff on computer.
You might not need it or might not be aware because because but ask SAM how he does this tutorials and ask if he can still do it with this new setting. I know with AI it's becoming harder to protect anything but we already pay the extra price on this boxes to have some kind of extra protection and not being prejudiced with lesser features or worst.
I understand if they did it on MOL4 to protect the new app from being exposed and copied because with developer mode enabled you can make screenshots and post it on the web and with AI you can easily make a new app very similar but...it already exists, why bother, it's not like the code is more exposed with developer mode enabled.
And last but not least if they really want more security protection they should perhaps update the Android version instead of removing features. You probably don't care about it but i'm sure many care and many are not here because they probably don't use BETA, once the official comes and they see that option they will be very upset. Just wait and you should be grateful that some people notice this things before something very bad happens and then you say if only someone told us!!!! I'm saying to you many people use this every day and i if they don't is because they are unaware of this. This is one of the best things formuler boxes have, don't disable it please...
I admit I don't use developer mode to manage the app; I never would have thought of it if you hadn't told me. However, the developers of MOL3 and MOL4 disabled developer mode to protect the apps. Without going into details, this is the foundation for hacking an app. Take the Z8, for example, which unintentionally doesn't have developer mode. By doing this, it prevents logging information about the app and how to bypass the security measures in place. It's not necessarily intentional on the part of the developer to have implemented this security, but possibly it's due to security applications they used to protect MOL3 and MOL4 that enforce it. Until now, the Formula apps lacked these security measures, which allowed the MOL3 hack. Without getting too technical, this gives you the most likely explanation for this developer mode block.
