IOS Developer mode setting missing on IOS 16 device? [duplicate] - ios

I got an alert when tried to open one provisioned testing build on iOS 16.0.
Alert says -
"Your App" required Developer Mode to run. Until Developer Mode has been
enabled this app will not be available for use.

Looks like you're trying to run it on a physical device. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy & Security on the iOS device -> Developer Mode -> toggle the Developer mode on.
Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/enabling-developer-mode-on-a-device

In Short
Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode -> turn ON Developer mode
In some cases you may have to unplug iOS device from Mac and re-plug it to see the "Developer Mode" option.
In Depth
In iOS 16.0 Apple have made turning Developer Mode On mandatory if you want to physically connect your device to Xcode on Mac.
When you attempt to build and run to the device, Xcode displays following alert to tell you the destination isn’t valid because Developer Mode is disabled.
To Enable developer mode on iPhone
Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode -> turn ON Developer mode as follows :
In Settings app on iPhone, select Privacy & Security.
Scroll down to the Developer Mode. Turn on it.
After that, choose Restart from action sheet to restart your iPhone.
A pop-up window appears when the phone is rebooted. To enable developer mode, click "Turn On" again and then enter the device password.
Ref - Apple Doc - Enabling Developer Mode on a device

If "Developer Mode" is not showing up at "Privacy & Security" try this:
Turning on Developer Mode requires you to physically connect your device to a machine running Xcode. With a project open in Xcode 14 Beta 3, connect your phone and then navigate to Settings -> Privacy & Security, Developer Mode should appear now. If you've had that settings pane open before you connected your device, you may have to navigate back to Settings, and then go into Privacy & Security again.

It worked to me.

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode -> turn ON Developer > mode >
But in my case i don't have that Developer mode option: If any one facing same issue.
Follow steps:
In xcode press Command + shft + 2 -> Unpair your device -> Prompt on your phone -> Tap on Trust . Go To above path and This time you will see developer option.
Cheers🍻

The solution Anil Kumar was the only one that worked for me, as Developer mode was not showing and I did not want to use any 3rd party app either.
Unpair device
Tap on TRUST when the pop-up shows on the phone (if needed unplug and plug again the phone to the computer)
Kill settings app
Go to Settings -> Privacy & Security
Developer mode will show this time.

To show Developer Mode (not showing in Privacy and Security on the iPhone) - with Xcode 14.2 running, physically connect, disconnect, and reconnect to your Mac. Then the Developer Mode option will show under Privacy and Security - follow the prompts on your phone and any in Xcode. See below for my configuration
Background: iPhone 14, iOS 16.1.2 did not show the Developer Mode under Privacy and Security. Some of the contributors said that you had to connect the iPhone to Xcode. Tried that and still no Developer Mode. A contributor said, "Your might have to connect, disconnect, and reconnect for the developer mode to show on the iPhone". For me this was the case and it worked. My configuration is Xcode 14.2 running on MacOS Ventura 13.2.

All I had to do was plug in my iPhone 13 (This works with all Apple iPhones) into my MacBook Air (which Works with all MacBooks and iMacs), then open Xcode, and create a new project. Then on my iPhone, I opened settings, went to privacy and security, then scrolled down. Above the "Lockdown" button was developer mode. Then click it, enable it, then do the following prompts.

Updating to Xcode 14 was the only thing that worked for me.

Open Xcode on your Mac
Open a project on Xcode
Connect your iPhone and Mac while keeping the project on Xcode running
Go to Settings > Privacy and Security, Developer Mode appears

Device Management is missing in ios settings

I am trying to build my project in Xcode and its working great but at the end Im getting an alert saying :
Verify the Developer App certificate for your account is trusted on your device. Open Settings on Artium's iphone and navigate to General -> Device Management, then select your Developer App certificate to trust it.
and when Im going through the setting the Device Management option is missing.
Note that it happend after I deleted the project from my phone and rebuild it.
I checked through preferences and I am logged in to my profile in Xcode.
yup... I had exactly the same issue just now...
you can fix it by removing the profile from xcode.. just go to window -> devices -> right click on the device and click -> show provisioning profiles -> remove all profiles.
The profiles will be recreated again when you run the app again on your phone...
It worked for me (XCode 10) when I did the following 2 things:
I disconnected the iPhone, then went into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy. Then I reconnected and clicked "Trust this device" on both the Mac and the iPhone (i.e. the popups that come up when the iPhone is reconnected).
Reinstalled the app I had originally manually deleted from the iPhone.
I ran into this same problem today. It appears to be an Apple bug that occurs when you manually delete all apps on your device attached to the same developer account.
An easy work around is to create a completely new Hello World app and deploy it to your device. When the "Developer App certificate" message pops up then you can proceed to settings and trust your account again and Viola! Your other apps will start working again.
what worked for me!
Disconnect your mobile from your mac and then visit
Settings -> General > Profiles & Device management
option is available for me. But when I connect mobile with Xcode for testing its not there
I saw it was there (Settings -> General) after I disconnected my iPhone from the computer. I didn't do anything!
I downloaded the profile using Firefox and it never worked. When I download using Safari, the option started showing up. It seems the phone is not scanning the Firefox downloads folder for profiles.
I am using iphone 8, it is running the ios version 14.2. I can install my react native ios app successfully, although the app will not open or launch after installation. my iphone device did not have the Profile and Device Management link under Settings.
I installed the profile patch from https://www.beta.apple.com/profile or you can follow this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0DwtJlP-AQ.
I then i connected the phone device again to the mac with my usb cable. building and running the app again from xcode 12, i faced the same issue.
However with my device connected and the app installed( although the app could not be launched ), i go to settings > General > Profile and Device Management is now visible and i can enable the trust setting. Go back and open the app the again and it will launch just fine.

Could not launch app (Verify the Developer App certificate)

I have an issue sometime when I run the app in my iPhone with Xcode.
I tried to verify apps in Settings but it didn't work. "Unable to Verify "iPhone Developer: ..." Apps.
I am a Free developer but it normally runs and sometime during 1 hour I can't run anything on my iPhone.
I tried to delete the app and run, to download all profiles in Xcode Settings, same problem.
Do you have any idea to solve it ?
Thanks for your help.
I had to actually tap the app icon on the iPhone device to launch the app and only then did the iPhone prompt me to Trust the certificate.
I had nothing appropriate listed in Settings > General > Profiles (Settings > General > Device Management on later versions of iOS).
My wifi connection had proxy which blocked the verification in iPhone settings.
Switch to 3G/4G was the solution for me.
There are two solution for this:
A. Solution 1:
Run app on device. You should be able to alert ’Trust This Computer’?
Tap on Trust option
Enter device passcode
Open Settings app. Goto Device Management.
Here you’ll be able to see list of profiles used for installing apps on device. Select profile is used to run app on device.
Tap on Trust “Apple Development:…”
Again you’ll be able to see confirmation pop up alert. Tap on Trust.
Now you’ll see that App is verified for device.
B. Solution 2:
If your device is not connected to internet/wifi then Xcode shows “Verify the Developer App certificate for your account is trusted on your device…”. Connect your device to internet/wifi and try again.
Maybe you used provisioning profile is distribute not development, in my case, it is.
When I saw this in Xcode, but there is nothing needs to verify in Settings > General > Profiles, then I just click app on my phone to run it, and system showing a alert view to let me trust it, after TRUST IT, app run well. And after this, you can run app using Xcode, but Xcode will show "process launch failed: timed out waiting for app to launch" prompt.
"A network connection is required to verify." You have to have a valid internet connection (whether 3G/4G data or wifi) or else it won't verify. When it doesn't work for me it's always due to my router being jacked up.

iOS 9.2 missing Profile section from General Settings

I was trying to activate a developer app in iOS 9.2 and the app was not trusted due to security settings. I tried to go into the Profile area under General Settings, but it wasn't there. What gives? It was there this morning . . .
Apple renamed the Profile section to Device Management. It is still under General Settings and performs the same function.
This somewhat worked for me: Instead of looking in the device, go to XCode, Devices (Under Window), ctrl -click on the device and you should see a "Show Provisioning Profiles" menu item.
I had the same problem and I couldn't debug my apps anymore.
I used the Apple Configurator (https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/apple-configurator-2/id1037126344?mt=12) to delete all of my profiles on the iPhone. Afterwards I installed another signed app again and now I can debug again.
But I still can't see "Device Management" in Settings.
I was successful doing this when I accidentally went to Product>Profile once the build is finished head over to your phone then Settings>General> then the Device Management will instantly appear under VPN.
I am at iOS 12.1.2(16C101) and was trying to verify that the Developer App certificate for my account is trusted on my device. Found the option at
General -> Profiles & Device Management.
If "Device Management" doesn't appear you must restart your device to see it.
This worked on ios 9.

Enable Developer item in Settings Menu of iPhone

I sent the build via Crashlytics to my customer, but he can't instal it (I added the UDID of his device to provision profile). I think, that the problem is because he didn't setup his device for development (because my build is developempent, not production).
For example when I open in my iPhone Settings and scroll down I see Developer string:
But my customer doesn't see this string in his iPhone. How can he enable this menu item? (he doesn't have app macbook, so he can't enable it with xCode)
I know much time has passed since the question was posted, but it appeared still actual for me. Posting the answer for XCode 9 that I have checked.
So to enable Developer item in settings on iPhone follow the steps:
Download and install Xcode on your Mac.
Open Xcode on your Mac.
Plug your iPhone into your computer.
Open your iPhone's Settings app.
Scroll down and tap Developer.

iOS9 Untrusted Enterprise Developer with no option to trust

This is not a duplicate of Untrusted App Developer. Since iOS9 there is no option to trust an enterprise build. Has anyone found a workaround?
In iOS 9.1 and lower, go to Settings - General - Profiles - tap on your Profile - tap on Trust button.
In iOS 9.2+ & iOS 11+ go to: Settings - General - Profiles & Device Management - tap on your Profile - tap on Trust button.
In iOS 10+, go to: Settings - General - Device Management - tap on your Profile - tap on Trust button.
Do it like this:
Go to Settings -> General -> Profiles - tap on your Profile - tap on the Trust button.
but iOS10 has a little change,
Users should go to Settings - General - Device Management - tap on your Profile - tap on Trust button.
Reference: iOS10AdaptationTips
For iOS 9 beta 3,4 users. Since the option to view profiles is not viewable do the following from Xcode.
Open Xcode 7.
Go to window, devices.
Select your device.
Delete all of the profiles loaded on the device.
Delete the old app on your device.
Clean and rebuild the app to your device.
On iOS 9.1+ n iOS 9.2+ go to Settings -> General -> Device Management -> press the Profile -> Press Trust.
Changes to Enterprise App Distribution Coming in iOS 9
iOS 9 introduces a new feature to help protect users from installing
in-house apps from untrusted sources. While no new app signing or
provisioning methods are required, the way your enterprise users
manage in-house apps installed on their iOS 9 devices will change.
In-house apps installed using an MDM solution are explicitly trusted
and will no longer prompt the user to trust the developer that signed
and provisioned the app. If your enterprise app does not use an MDM
solution, users who install your app for the first time will be
prompted to trust the developer. All users who install your app for
the first time will need an internet connection.
Using a new restriction, organizations can limit the apps installed on their devices to the in-house apps that they create. And a new interface in Settings allows users to see all enterprise apps installed from their organization.

Device: iPad Mini
OS: iOS 9 Beta 3
App downloaded from: Hockey App
Provisioning profile with Trust issues: Enterprise
In my case, when I navigate to Settings > General > Profiles, I could not see on any Apple provisioning profile. All I could see is a Configuration Profile which is HockeyApp Config.
Here are the steps that I followed:
Connect the Device
Open Xcode
Navigate to Window > Devices
Right click on the Device and select Show Provisioning Profiles...
Delete your Enterprise provisioning profile. Hit Done.
Open HockeyApp. Install your app.
Once the app finished installing, go back to Settings>General>Profiles. You should now be able to see your Enterprise provisioning profile.
Click Trust
That's it! You're done! You can now go back to your app and open it successfully. Hope this helped. :)
On iOS 9.2 Profiles renamed to Device Management.
Now navigation looks like that:
Settings -> General -> Device Management -> Tap on necessary profile in list -> Trust.
