    I’m using a first generation iPad and was using the Xcode multitasking gestures which really enhanced my use of the device. There was a conflict with installing the iTunes update and my iPad had to be restored. Everything was restored with the exception of the Xcode gestures and I have been unable to add it back. When I follow above directions, Step 3 –  there is no Use for Development button. I hope there is someway to get these gestures back on my iPad.
