What's new in v2.1

After 2 years of abandonment and the banishment of the implicit ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED from background in API 26, this nifty app returns with support for the magic of wireless debugging on Android 11 and a newfound interest in debugging notifications to find out if debugging is active on the device. 🎉 - Fixed incorrect display timeout in UI when opening the app sometimes

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This app allows you to keep your screen on *only* when debugging is active on the device over Wifi (on Android 11) or USB. It switches to the previously set display timeout when the device is unplugged or plugged into a wall socket. Permissions Notification Access: To monitor debugging notifications WRITE_SETTINGS to change the display timeout setting to maximum allowed (30 minutes on most devices) INTERNET for Crashlytics (crash reports) This application is open-source under the Apache license and it is easy to verify that the build here is the same as the one created through GitHub Actions. GitHub: https://github.com/AfzalivE/AwakeDebug/. Note: Android GO phones are not supported because there's no way to get Notification Access on Android GO Edition. DISCLAIMER: Please be careful on OLED screens as keeping the screen awake for long periods of time could cause burn-in.

Awake for Debug APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Awake for Debug APK safe?
