I am trying to debug an android app using my Redmi S2 phone (android 8.1) but there is a problem. Even though I can enable USB Debugging in developer options, I am unable to enable "Install via USB" option. It asks for a Xiaomi account which I don't have (and don't want to open).
As per this one year old reddit thread, its possible but not without rooting. Mine is a relatively new phone and I don't want to root it just yet. Is there any other trivial way to enable the Install via USB option?
EDIT
My question differs from the linked one in that I don't want to root my phone or sign into a Mi Account to enable "install via USB". I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve these workarounds.
