Android Question Why is the Debug option greyed out?

[GuyBooth]

Today, the "Debug" option in the menu bar of the b4a ide is greyed out.
What would cause that? Never seen it before, in several years of using b4a.

Could it be because "Release" is selected ?

No, that doesn't make any difference.

Yes : put in Debug instead of Release. Compile and install to the device. The Debug menu will be activated
If not check the Debug settings in the IDE's menu

You're absolutely right - but why have I never noticed this before?

Is this a change in the IDE in 7.8? Or as a result of using sdk 27 and runtime permissions?
I'm not complaining - but I didn't expect it.

No. This is the same behavior as in previous versions, since v5.0. The debug menu is activated when there is an active debug session.

Thanks for the explanation.
