iOS 10 developer option missing from settings

The topic says it all. I've just upgraded to iOS 10.0.1 /iPhone 6s/ & now the Developer option is missing from the Settings.

I've tried some tricks for older versions such as sync the device in iTunes and add it in Xcode /it's already added/ but nothing worked.

Anybody has clues on this ?

I'm running Xcode 7.3.1 with DeviceSupport added from the beta and the apps run fine on the iOS 10.

On iOS 12.x and better, the following sequence enables "Developer Mode" on the iOS device:

  • Device must have a passcode set.
  • Plug the device to your laptop.
  • Enter DFU mode: -- Hold both “Home” + “Power” buttons on your device at the same time for 10 seconds. -- Release the “Power” button while keeping the home button pressed, for another 10 seconds. -- Release “Home”. The device's screen will be black.
  • Leave DFU mode: -- Press "power" + "home" until the device reboots.
  • In Xcode, go to Devices View . Select the device and tick "Run as destination" (untick + tick if already ticked) ==> Developer options will be available in setting after reboot.

For Xcode 9 following are the steps:

  • Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer
  • Hold the “Home” + “Power” buttons on your iPhone and iPad at the same time for 10 seconds.
  • Let go of the “Power” button without releasing the home button. Continue press the “Home” button for another 10 seconds.
  • Release “Home”, and your screen should stay completely black. If so, chances are you successfully entered into iPhone DFU Reset.
  • Developer options will be available in setting after reboot.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by turning off and on the Show as run destination from Xcode.

These are the steps:

  1. Connect your device
  2. Open Xcode and select Window -> Devices and Simulators
  3. Select your device from the devices list
  4. Toggle the Show as run destination

In Xcode 9.2 it's Product->Destination->Device. Then on iOS 11.21 it's Settings-General->Profiles and Device Management. A "Developer App" profile will be there for your Apple ID once you've successfully built your project with the build target of your phone, that's where you click on "Trust" "".

Guess you've probably got this sorted, but may be useful for someone else...

In addition to opening Xcode 8 and connecting the phone I needed to bring up the devices tab (Shift-Cmd-2) and select the phone from the list. After a bit of messing about to convince Xcode that the phone really was unlocked, the Developer option appeared

Just install XCode 8 and connect your iPhone to your Mac. That worked for me.
