Hi all,

With the recent landing of the developer mode UI and from previous
discussions on the list and on IRC, I understand that:

- ADB will be disabled by default, but can be enabled/disabled using the
switch in the developer mode
- SSH will be disabled by default and there is no UI to enable/disable it.
However, it can be enabled from an adb shell session issuing the 'setprop
persist.service.ssh true' command.

I also understand the rationale that most things can be accomplished with
ADB and power users can simply enable SSH over the terminal.

However, given the fact that Qt Creator uses both ADB (for SSH key
exchange) and SSH (for app deployment), this introduces another manual step
before being able to develop apps with a device, making the app developer
experience a bit more cumbersome. The SDK tell me that it'd be technically
possible to migrate to ADB only, but that there'd be some issues with adb
port forwarding and the emulator (they can expand on this better than I).

Is there a way developer mode can work better with Qt Creator, so that the
developer only has to worry about flicking a switch on the device?

Cheers,
David.
