Xcode – How to enable developer mode on iOS 16.0?

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.

    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 :

    1. In Settings app on iPhone, select Privacy & Security.

    enter image description here

    1. Scroll down to the Developer Mode. Turn on it.

    enter image description here

    1. After that, choose Restart from action sheet to restart your iPhone.

    enter image description here

    1. A pop-up window appears when the phone is rebooted. To enable developer mode, click "Turn On" again and then enter the device password.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    1. Unpair device
    2. Tap on TRUST when the pop-up shows on the phone (if needed unplug and plug again the phone to the computer)
    3. Kill settings app
    4. Go to Settings -> Privacy & Security
      Developer mode will show this time.

    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

    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.

    Note: iOS 16 RC available. It is worth updating.
