[Feature Request] Offline Developer Mode: Cache packages to enable DM without internet connection

Hi all

The topic nearly says all: Please include the possibility to enable the Developer Mode when the device has no internet connection. The way I understand it, the device installs specific packages when you enable the DM and removes them when you deactivate it. This is a nice, clean way, but brings the disadvantage that you can't enable the DM while the device is offline (as it can't download the required packages).

Maybe there is a possibility to cache the packages, so they are already downloaded on the phone when you need them.
