Reset block state of the custom Add-In

I've developed an add-in and now try to do my best on describing its usage.

I'd like to know how can I reset the unblock of the Add-In (I'd like to capture the video from the scratch but Inventor doesn't show the initial pop-up message warning the add-in from untrusted publisher was blocked)?
I believe there is some Add-In manager settings stored either in Inventor profile or registry. Any ideas?

Im not sure about this but you might want to have a look at the "AddInLoadRules.xml". You can find a bit more info about this file in this blog post "Add-In security in Inventor". If I'm correct you just need to delete that file to get what you want. (Make a backup of files before you delete them.)

You are ALMOST right

The setting seems to be saved in AddInLoadRules-file ... BUT not XML (located under ... \AppData\Local\Autodesk\<Inventor VERSION>\Preferences\)

 

It is about extension-less AddInLoadRules-file located at ... \AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\<Inventor VERSION>\Addins\

 

PS:
I wish I knew the format of the file to not delete it completely but rather modify a bit (in part related to my particular addin).
