| ## 6.2\. Developer Options |
| |
| Android includes support for developers to configure application |
| development-related settings. |
| |
| Device implementations MUST provide a consistent experience for |
| Developer Options, they: |
| |
| * [C-0-1] MUST honor the [android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS]( |
| http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.html#ACTION_APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS) |
| intent to show application development-related settings. The upstream Android |
| implementation hides the Developer Options menu by default and enables users to |
| launch Developer Options after pressing seven (7) times on the **Settings** > |
| **About Device** > **Build Number** menu item. |
| * [C-0-2] MUST hide Developer Options by default. |
| * [C-0-3] MUST provide a clear mechanism that does not give preferential |
| treatment to one third-party app as opposed to another to enable Developer |
| Options. MUST provide a public visible document or website that describes how to |
| enable Developer Options. This document or website MUST be linkable from |
| the Android SDK documents. |
| * SHOULD have an ongoing visual notification to the user when Developer |
| Options is enabled and the safety of the user is of concern. |
| * MAY temporarily limit access to the Developer Options menu, by visually |
| hiding or disabling the menu, to prevent distraction for scenarios where the |
| safety of the user is of concern. |
