Keep iPhone Unlocked while Debugging with Rider

Question

I'm writing an app using MAUI. When debugging with Rider, if the iPhone locks, the debug link drops. Which is annoying.

Now, I know I can set my phone to not auto-lock. However, crucially, it's my phone not a work phone and I don't want to have to change it every day.

Is there any way to prevent the device auto-locking when I'm debugging?

Answer 1

You could turn the screen on for debugging.

Under debug, invoke this method:

#if DEBUG
public void ToggleScreenLock()
{
    DeviceDisplay.KeepScreenOn = !DeviceDisplay.KeepScreenOn;
}
#endif

It should be on the main thread.
