Using a Mac for iPhone Developer Mode:

Yes. You need to go through a Mac. You'd connect your iPhone to the Mac (while the Mac is NOT in Developer Mode), and then proceed with the Developer Mode on your iPhone.


  1. Go Here: Enabling Developer Mode on a device | Apple Developer Documentation
  2. Scroll to: Enable Developer Mode
  3. As it reads: "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'."
