SYNOPSIS
idevicedevmodectl COMMAND [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
Enable Developer Mode on iOS 16+ devices or print the current status.

NOTE
Passcode-protected devices will NOT allow enabling of Developer Mode from the command line. It has to be enabled on the device itself under Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode.
