Here's my idea:
add a "trust" setting to developer mode, which let the adb
automatically enabled only if phone connect to a trust machine.
1. enable developer mode;
2. connect USB cable;
3. dialog to ask "trust this machine?" options are "always", "only
once" or "no" ;
4. an unique ID will appear in the "trust" list ;
5. next time when connect to USB, adb will be activated if "always
trusted"
Well its a good idea, but personally I would want this as a additional
feature. So if you want to trust the machine, go to the
developer mode settings and press "Always trust connected machine".
First I would like the dialog to be easy and small and
I kind of dislike the idea of having a huge list of trusted machines I
need to maintain.

Maybe show more necessary info about the USB connection, just
like Android & IOS, "USB connected, do you trust this machine ?
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx(mac or sth else)"
Yeah that can be done I guess, but is that really necessary? If I
plug in the USB cable by hand I know what machine I'm connecting
to right? And if I don't trust
the machine I should not plug in my phone at all :) or select
"charge only" mode.

Hello all,
currently we have the following situation on the phone:
1. If developer mode is disabled, you can not connect to ADB.
2. If developer mode is enabled by hand in the settings, you
can connect to ADB
only if the screen is on and unlocked.
3. If developer mode is enabled by setting the
--developer-mode switch while
flashing you can always connect to ADB.
I think 2 and 3 are both solutions that work but should not
stay forever. Especially nr 2 because
its hard to understand whats happening if its not explained
to you. And even if there is documentation
about it, its hard to miss.
Nr 3 is problematic, if you are a developer you probably will
flash your device with that switch
but by that open it up to the entire world. Why should we not
provide security for developers as well?
Instead the proposal would be to drop 2 and 3, but instead do
the following:
If developer mode is enabled (in system settings manually or
with the --developer-mode switch) adb is
disabled as long as there is no USB plugged in. When the user
plugs in the usb cable a dialog pops up
that asks the user:
"USB connected, choose the mode you want to use: Developer
mode, Data transfer, Just charging".
The user can of course only choose the mode AFTER he has
unlocked the device at least once.
ADB now stays enabled until the USB cable is removed.
Any thoughts about this?
Benjamin
