Getting started with Remote Settings

My settings are working ok in the Unity Analytics > Remote Settings window (although any synced changed don't show up, I have to close and reopen the window).

I am using the same code here to get the values
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAnalyticsRemoteSettingsScripting.html

But I am always getting the default value and no triggering once I update & sync online (in the HandleRemoteUpdate function).

This is in Unity 2017.1.0f3 on Mac.

Any idea what could be wrong? What should I check?

Thanks

 

Ah just found this
"So you know, running in the Editor will always be Development mode for 5.6.1f1. Release mode will apply once it is running on a physical device."

agreed, this needs to go in the documentation (at the top of the first page maybe)
