About this app
This app allows you to keep your screen on *only* when debugging is active on the device over Wifi (on Android 11) or USB.
It switches to the previously set display timeout when the device is unplugged or plugged into a wall socket.
Notification Access: To monitor debugging notifications
WRITE_SETTINGS to change the display timeout setting to maximum allowed (30 minutes on most devices)
INTERNET for Crashlytics (crash reports)
This application is open-source under the Apache license and it is easy to verify that the build here is the same as the one created through GitHub Actions.
GitHub: https://github.com/AfzalivE/AwakeDebug/.
Note: Android GO phones are not supported because there's no way to get Notification Access on Android GO Edition.
DISCLAIMER: Please be careful on OLED screens as keeping the screen awake for long periods of time could cause burn-in.

Android version 8.0 and still this option doesn't exist. I'm not sure who wants their device to stay awake all the time when it's plugged in? but, I'm pretty sure the point of that option is to be on why developing ,not on all the time. this man has done an exceptional job developing an application that does just that. I'm also confused at the fact that there's only a thousand plus downloads? how does one not want this as a viable option When developing Android applications? take note Google....

Was excited to find this app but doesn't appear to work on LG Wing, android 10. Usb debugging connected, granted all permissions. But doesn't keep screen on.

Works flawlessly on Android 10 in my experience. Not so much on 11b3, but that's hardly the developer's fault.

Hi Shawn, thanks for the 5-star review. Try the version 2.0 of the app. It works on Android 11 too!
What's new
After 2 years of abandonment and the banishment of the implicit ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED from background in API 26, this nifty app returns with support for the magic of wireless debugging on Android 11 and a newfound interest in debugging notifications to find out if debugging is active on the device. π
