⚠️ Developer Mode Requirement for Ad Hoc iOS Builds
Starting with iOS 16, Apple requires Developer Mode to be enabled on devices for running apps installed via Ad Hoc, Enterprise, or other direct distribution methods (outside of TestFlight or the App Store). ✅ What to Expect- If the app is distributed via Ad Hoc builds for development or testing, users must enable Developer Mode on their iPhone or iPad to launch the app.
- Once the app is published and installed via the App Store, Developer Mode is no longer required and can be safely turned off.
