Does not make the app debuggable

[saatomic]

The feature that should make apps debuggable does not work for me on Android 6.0.1. I've verified this with the Android Studio Debugger and the Inspeckage tool (Xposed Framework).

Edit: I've tested this with an alternative device (Android 7.1.2), where it appears to be working.

I have the same issue.

this module is trying to modified the behavior of AppPicker
by changing the "com.android.settings.extra.DEBUGGABLE" parameter

A more viable solution is to alter the flags of ApplicationInfo to ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE
you can achieve this by modifying the results of getInstalledApplications in android.app.ApplicationPackageManager
below is the sample code

XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("android.app.ApplicationPackageManager"
    , loadPackageParam.classLoader
    , "getInstalledApplications", int.class
    , new XC_MethodReplacement(){
        @Override
        protected Object replaceHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
            List appInfos = (List)XposedBridge.invokeOriginalMethod(param.method, param.thisObject, param.args);
            for (Object appInfo : appInfos) {
                Field flagsField = appInfo.getClass().getDeclaredField("flags");
                int appFlags = (int) flagsField.get(appInfo);
                appFlags |= ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE;
                flagsField.set(appInfo, appFlags);
            }
            return appInfos;
        }
    });

If you have any adb by your side , you can also achieve this with simple adb shell commands
There is a solution in the issue "rovo89/XposedBridge#138 (comment)"

Hi, I did not understand how this app works. I installed it with the intention to use the command:
adb shell am dumpheap 1234 /data/local/tmp/appheap

but it does not work, adb still saying that app is not debuggable. Do I need to do anything in special?

Thanks a lot!
