Toggle to save app settings in sim

jim_m_58 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..

This is very frustrating for background apps since I use the simulator switching between targets to restart the background process and now it forgets settings if doing that. I can't easily test anymore and so I can't make any releases.

Thanks I'll give that a try, that should help for debug. But, even if it works I still now have to set all the settings for each supported device every time I test a release and want to go thru all devices to be certain they are all still working.

You can trigger the background from the sim itself..

Simulation>Background Events

no need to restart anything.
