Android 4.2 developer settings still unavailable

Question

How do you access Android 4.2\'s developer settings when the method prescribed on their developer site does not work?

I followed the directions on a Nexus 7 tablet.

Answer 1

Ok, I was having the very same issue, and yet, I had previously used this exact same device for development.

In my case, the issue was that each User account gets its own "install" of your release (or debug) APK.

Android will apparently "reference" the app and actually keep the package on the system until you do a separate uninstall for each account.

After doing this, I was able to debug without issue on the alternate account.

So, YES, you CAN debug your app using a second account on Android, just be aware that instances of the app installed in various accounts (release vs debug) cannot co-exist!
