Cable the iPhone to a Mac running Xcode. The mode switch will appear.


Here’s the doc: Enabling Developer Mode on a device | Apple Developer Documentation

Here's some troubleshooting from the Developer Forum (https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/716697):


  1. Connect iPhone/Device to mac.
  2. Open XCode > Window > Devices and Simulators.
  3. Under devices select the "+" icon in the bottom left.
  4. Select your device and click Next/Done.
  5. On the iPhone make sure you don't have settings open (i.e. force close it.).
  6. Open settings > Privacy and Security
  7. Scroll to the bottom and Developer mode should now be there.
