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.

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

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

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
