Apple Device Developer Mode
As of iOS 16 and Xcode 14, you must enable the Developer Mode on your device to be able to develop and debug.
You need essentially to toggle the "Developer Mode" switch in the "Settings" application of your device. More information is provided in the Apple documentation.
