How to make the “Use for Development" button in Xcode appear again?

When I first connect an iOS device to Xcode, it appears under Devices in organizer and a "magical" button appears, “Use for Development".

When I click this and log into my apple developer account, Xcode creates a "magical" provisioning profile that lets me debug any app on the device, without a specifically created provisioning profile for that specific app. This is very useful.

This provisioning profile usually has a wildcard at the end. The problem is that even if I delete all the profiles on my iPad (under settings->profiles) the magic button doesn't appear again, as in, it knows I already activated it.

Now, in order to make it appear again I have a single option : to reset or update my iPad which in term deletes everything. This is a painful and lengthy process for such a small feature. Is there any other way to do this ?

I had to right click on the device in the Organizer and select "Ignore Device" for the button to appear.
