That post lists two methods. Which did you try?

  • I tried both of them. The first one (reinstall) works fine but the second one (reset) doesn't work anymore. Reinstall is very inconvenient for me, so I want to reset it when debugging.

Is it broken for just the app you’re developing? Or is it broken for the whole system? That is, if you download some random app from the App Store, does the reset functionality work on that?

  • I think the system works fine and all apps in local network settings list were download from the App Store.

  • Sorry, I misunderstood before. It's also broken for the app downloaded from the App Store.

So, lemme see if I have this straight:

  1. You have an app you’re developing for iOS.

  2. In that app, you do something to trigger a local network privacy alert.

  3. You stop the app.

  4. Then you choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.

  5. You run the app again.

  6. You repeat step 2, that is, you do something that should trigger a local network privacy alert.

  7. The system does not trigger the alert, including that your app’s local network privacy was not reset.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, that’s annoying. I tried this here in my office and saw the same behaviour )-:

Sadly, I don’t think there’s anything you’ll be able to do about that, other than file a bug.

Please post your bug number, just for the record [1].

[1] Oh, and I’ll probably end up adding it to the LNP FAQ entry, along with updating the setting path to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.

  • Thanks Eskimo, I have submitted this bug to Apple and the bug number is FB10006644.
