Enable Developer Mode for iPhone Device#

It is mandatory to enable Developer Mode for the commissioning process. Refer to the following steps to enable Developer Mode on an Apple device:

Using XCode#

• https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/enabling-developer-mode-on-a-device

Using Tenor Share#

• https://www.tenorshare.com/ios-16/ios-16-developer-mode-not-showing.html

NOTE: Since the stable launch of iOS 16, you can no longer enable iOS enable Developer Mode from the settings. Apple removed the toggle to further improve the security for general consumers. Now, if you want to enable Developer Mode on iOS 18/iOS 17, you have to use Xcode (in Mac) or use iCareFone. (iCareFone is recommended. It is free and much easier than Xcode.)
