Completely reset TCC services database in macOS
Note: Both the system and individual users have TCC databases; run the script as both
a user and as root to completely reset TCC decisions at all levels.
2018-08-15: Resetting the 'Location' service fails; unknown cause
2018-08-16: Confirmed the 'All' service does not really reset _all_
services, so individual calls to each service is necessary.

Installing and creating Emulators with AVDMANAGER (For Continuous Integration Server or Local Use)

Install and Create Emulators using AVDMANAGER and SDKMANAGER

TL;DR

For an emulator that mimics a Pixel 5 Device with Google APIs and ARM architecture (for an M1/M2 Macbook):

  1. List All System Images Available for Download: sdkmanager --list | grep system-images

  2. Download Image: sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-30;google_atd;arm64-v8a"

Enable and Disable Android Accessibility Settings from the Command Line using ADB (Font scale, talkback, color blind)

Using ADB to control Accessbility settings for easier testing with Android Emulators + Real Devices

It's a lot easier to test accessibility on the fly using ADB. This gist attempts to make the days of navigating through the Android device settings UI to change Accessibility settings obsolete.

These ADB commands will hopefully encourage Android developers to test and use their apps with common Accessiblility settings enabled.

Credit to James Nitsch for inspiring this, and for figuring out the put commands to enable these settings.

Font Scale (Font Size -- Testing Dynamic Text)
