Developer Flag Configuration

During the development process, you may temporarily rotate the device screen, enable the mouse cursor on your device, or blank the screen. KOS Studio facilitates all these operations with a single click using developer flags on Hardware Settings for device images.

The image set in production collaboration mode ignores developer flags. Learn more about image collaboration mode here.
