Hello all,

I would like to enable Dev Mode on an Apple Watch Series 5. Of course everything is updated, the watch as well as Xcode and the Mac system. When I enable Dev Mode, I am prompted to restart the watch. Then after the restart, Dev Mode is no longer enabled.

It is so frustrating... I've been trying to solve the problem for hours, but I have no clue.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you wait for a few minutes, does it become enabled?

If the switch is still not enabled after 15 minutes, can you please file Feedback with a sysdiagnose from the Watch & Phone? Be sure to install the logging profile first. Instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?platform=watchos
