Toggle to save app settings in sim

Suggested a way to toggle whether app settings are saved between app runs. Currently, app settings are at least cleared between runs every time the target device is changed, which can make testing cumbersome.

Original post: i can't save app settings for the simulator and have them be used on next run of the simulator anymore - i've tried clearing out as much as i can but nothing i've tried helps..

this makes testing kind of difficult..

  • I had noticed the same issue with the app settings being cleared when changing targets.  I was going to create a post tonight, but will just throw my comments into this one. I agree it is a bad idea, when I did my last update to my widget it took an extra hour to test each device because of needing to re-configure the settings each time I switches the target.  Travis, I agree with you it is a bad idea to make this change.  It really increases the time to test apps where the user has to authenticate or add a key for the app to run.  Please pass along my suggestion to revert back to the previous behavior.
