minitouch no longer works on MIUI after a system update

[dkw72n]

minitouch used to run on all our Xiaomi devices. recently we upgraded some of our devices(via official push), and minitouch no longer works on them.

here is the os information and the error log of minitouch:

It works fine, but you have to go through extra steps when you set up the device. See openstf/stf#477.

Please report back once you've tested it and close the ticket.

unfortunately, no security settings found in my developer options, anything i missed?

[sorccu]

Maybe it's somewhere else, please go through all settings (incl. non-developer settings).

Which device is that by the way? Please run adb devices -l and post the product, model and name.

have been walked through the settings, couldn't find anything similar anywhere. i saw that option on another Xiaomi device(different model), looks like i have to wait for another update.

Unfortunately that device is too expensive for me to buy, so I can't try it out. However on a Mi 5 (not 5s plus) MIUI worked without changing anything, and MIUI 5 had that setting.

Oops, I meant MIUI 8.1 had that setting. And MIUI 8.0 worked without the setting.

i guess my current version is kind of a transient one. maybe this issue should be closed, it's not a minitouch issue anyway.

[dkw72n]

a recently system update brings the security settings
