    Developer Mode allows locally installed apps to run on iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS devices. It must be enabled on the device by opening Settings, navigating to Privacy & Security, toggling the Developer Mode switch, and confirming the security risk acknowledgement. This allows apps to be installed and run from Xcode for development and testing purposes. Developer Mode can also be disabled on the device via the same Settings menu.

    Enabling Developer Mode on a device


    Grant or deny permission for locally installed apps to run on iOS, iPadOS,
    visionOS, and watchOS devices.

    Overview
    Developer Mode, available in iOS 16 and later, watchOS 9 and later, and visionOS, protects
    people from inadvertently installing potentially harmful software on their devices, and reduces
    attack vectors exposed by developer-only functionality. The feature doesn’t affect ordinary
    installation techniques like buying apps from the App Store, or participating in a TestFlight
    team. Instead, Developer Mode focuses on scenarios like performing a Build and Run in
    Xcode, or installing an .ipa file with Apple Configurator. In these cases, the device explicitly
    asks the person using it to confirm that they’re a developer, aware of the risks of installing
    development-signed software.

    Enable Developer Mode


    When you connect an iOS, visionOS, or watchOS device with Developer Mode disabled to
    your Mac, the Xcode scheme selector’s destination list shows it as an “Unavailable Device”.

    The Devices and Simulators window shows a similar banner if you have a device connected
    with Developer Mode disabled.

    If you attempt to build and run to the device, Xcode displays an alert to tell you the destination
    isn’t valid because Developer Mode is disabled.

    Running your app on the device requires that you enable Developer Mode. On an iOS or
    visionOS device, open Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Developer Mode list
    item and navigate into it. On a watchOS device that you use for development, go to Settings >
    Privacy > Developer Mode. To toggle Developer mode, use the Developer Mode switch.

    Tap the switch to enable Developer Mode. After you do so, Settings presents an alert to warn
    you that Developer Mode reduces the security of your device. To continue enabling Developer
    Mode, tap the alert’s Restart button.

    After the device restarts and you unlock it, the device shows an alert confirming that you want
    to enable Developer Mode. To acknowledge the reduction in security protection in exchange
    for allowing Xcode and other tools to execute code, tap Turn On, and enter your device
    passcode when prompted.

    At this point, your device is ready to install and run apps from Xcode. After you have enabled
    Developer Mode the first time, Xcode doesn’t ask again unless you disable Developer Mode —
    as described below — or you restore the device. You can Build and Run from Xcode without
    further prompts to enable Developer Mode.

    Disable Developer Mode

    If you want to disable Developer Mode, you do so directly on the device. Go to Settings >
    Privacy & Security > Developer Mode to show the Developer Mode toggle switch.

    Like enabling, disabling Developer Mode requires a device reboot before it becomes effective.
    After you disable Developer Mode, you can’t run apps from Xcode on the device until you
    reenable it, using the same switch in the device’s Settings.
