There’s not developer mode in privacy and security menu

I’m trying to enable the developer mode to install a “third party app”, but I cant find the switch in the privacy and security menu. I also tried to reset “settings” and “privacy and position settings” from general -> transfer or reset ipad. But no developer mode switch has spawned in privacy and security menu :(

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

You’ll need to connect the iPad to a Mac running Xcode to get the Developer Mode prompt to appear.

Bypassing the app store and side-loading apps is too often a cause of problems, as well.
