comment out native/cpp/CommonCpp/DatabaseManagers/SQLiteQueryExecutor.cpp `set_encryption_key` function to turn off the database encryption, Add the following to `onClick` function of `ThreadsettingsPromoteSidebar` in
native/chat/settings/thread-settings-promote-sidebar.react.js:
```
console.log(commCoreModule.setDeviceID('WEB'));
console.log(commCoreModule.getDeviceID());
```
And see by setting breakpoints before and after these lines that in the SQLite Metadata table for the simulator there appears device_id entry with a value subject to "^(ks|mobile|web):[a-zA-Z0-9]{64}$" in the data column.
See that this value gets logged to the console twice.
