I received a dialogue box that states "Untrusted Developer, Your device management settings does not allow using an app from (essentially myself)... on this iPad. You can allow using these apps in Settings."

The app in question was created in a Swift Playground.

I went to the Developer tab in settings, but I have no success in adjusting the settings. Any ideas???

Have the same issue. It's a shame that i cannot test my private app on my private phone. Such a waste of time. Thats my f cking phone. So why can't i deploy my app without a paid dev account?

You can test your private app on your private iPhone, without a paid dev account.

Go to Xcode --> signing and capabilities
In Team --> Add an account. Add your Apple ID (free to create, I assume you already have one for your iPhone).

And from then on you can use your personal team to create your app and test on your personal iPhone (you will need to allow apps from your appleID as shown above).

Good luck!

Are you kidding me? I can no longer run and debug my own private app on my iphone that I bought unless I buy apple developer subscription? What, if I bought a car and received it with no wheels i'm supposed to go and buy wheels separately? This is fking ridiculous. I have never seen a more money hungry and greedy company than Apple. This is beyond disrespectful to all of the iOS developers and the community. Apple genuinely doesn't care about their customers AND developers and they proved us by doing this. I'm beyond p i s s e d off.

Exactly the same problem here. When I installed iOS 15 on my iPhone 12 Pro, this started to happen, and I don't have any profile to accept on device management. This is very frustrating.

It just hit me. I used to have a paying account and don’t anymore. Could that have anything to do with it?

I contacted Apple developer support and it was never helpful. They all said the usual stuff and ended up sending me to Apple developer forum. Which is ridiculously ironic and funny. :( they told me we don’t need a paying account to test our apps on physical devices.

This is probably the most frustrated I’ve ever been with Apple. :((((

I was getting the same problem that it didn't show profile on device management. I tried it with newly created apple account and it is showing now. It is probably a bug.

Same! I don't see my personal account, I was a paying developer and with iOS 15 I can't test my apps on my iPhone 12 Pro Max!

The provisioning profile generated prior iOS 15 is preventing installation on the new release. Therefore, you will need to generate a new provisioning profile for your app. Try the following:

Go to the directory of cached provisioning profiles (cd ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/)
Back up the existing files to another directory
Remove all profiles listed under ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
Launch Xcode
Install/run the app on your device.

Xcode will detect that there are no eligible profiles on your local system and request a new one during the next build to a device. The new profile will be compliance with iOS 15 provisioning.

Tried this. Does not work. What a bummer. Just got my app working and cannot run it on my hardware.

I eventually gave up and payed for a subscription and obviously it worked. But I was told by Apple support that a paying subscription is not mandatory for this to work. But they didn’t help me further because I didn’t have a paying subscription. 😅 oh well…

After a lot of research, I figure it out. Goto Setting > VPN & Device management and at the bottom section of "Developer App" there must be your name listed as Apple Development: "Your name", Click on it then click Trust "Apple Development: Your Name"; A prompt will open asking Trust, Hit Trust. Then go to the app and it will surely work fine on your phone.

I had the same issue today, successfully resolved with a free developer account and iOS 15.2.

The error popup wasn't helpful in that it didn't say where under Settings to allow the developer. Looking for which category to find this option under, I saw the (correct) answer by msjg and this worked for me. The one point I'd like to add as no one seems to have mentioned this yet is that in order for your developer account to show up under VPN and Device Management, Xcode has to actually be attempting to run the app on your phone at the time. The first time I tried the same thing without connecting the device to the computer and without having Xcode running, I ran into the same issue as other users not seeing any profiles to trust.

So, -- Follow the steps in the answer by msjg AND -- Do this while your phone is connected and Xcode is open and attempting to run the app.
