Enabling Developer Mode

Does enabling developer mode to test custom apps built by me makes the apple warranty and support void ? Not sure if this has been answered here but curious as to if I'll still be able to contact support in case I run into any issues.


Thanks.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

If you are referring to beta software.


Troubleshooting Beta Software:

Remove Beta Software: iOS17 is beta and is still in the phase of development. So, uninstall it. You'd have to reset it to factory settings. So, prior to upgrading to it, create a backup of your iPhone, that way you can have something to restore your iPhone from, if you decide to downgrade. Note that the backup needs to be of the same iOS that is installed, if you want to use it. Lean More here: Removing Beta Software: How to Uninstall iOS or iPadOS Beta Software - Apple Support

"Thanks for your reply but what I meant was can if I create custom apps using Xcode and deploy it to my phone, for doing it I need to enable developer mode to physically connec to my MacBook and flash the app. Wanted to understand in order to do this whether enabling developer mode to flash my apps would make the warranty void."
