Install app via usb: The device is temporarily restricted

Question

When I toggle on the install via USB in developer mode:

• it will pop the toast message said that the device is temporarily restricted

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem, tried all the suggested workarounds, but none of them worked for me. Strangely enough, what actually has worked for me was turning on MIUI optimization (it was turned off when the problem occurred)! After turning it on, I was able to toggle on install via USB.

Answer 2

If turning your Wi-Fi off is not working for you, then you might have not yet registered your MIUI account as a developer account.

To do so go to MIUI Dev center and register your already created account. After the review process this should not be bugging you anymore.

But remember as other have noted to:

• Turn off Wi-Fi connection
• Turn on mobile connection

Answer 3

In my case,

I turned on Airplane mode and

turn it off then

turn off Wifi and

turn on mobile data.

Now I can turn on install via USB.

May it helps some one like me.
