Device Management is missing in ios settings

Question

I am trying to build my project in Xcode and its working great but at the end Im getting an alert saying :

Verify the Developer App certificate for your account is trusted on your device. Open Settings on Artium's iphone and navigate to General -> Device Management, then select your Developer App certificate to trust it.

and when Im going through the setting the Device Management option is missing.

Note that it happend after I deleted the project from my phone and rebuild it.

I checked through preferences and I am logged in to my profile in Xcode.

yup... I had exactly the same issue just now...
you can fix it by removing the profile from xcode.. just go to window -> devices -> right click on the device and click -> show provisioning profiles -> remove all profiles.
The profiles will be recreated again when you run the app again on your phone...

How can Apple implement such a hidden feature? Why don't they put a button for that? Really bad software! – Elmue Aug 01 '19 at 02:17

I am unable to remove them with the minus button. – Benedikt S. Vogler Sep 22 '19 at 15:53
then you have to reset your phone I guess :) – Alex Oct 10 '19 at 17:15
this should be the best answer so far – Biasi Wiga Feb 25 '20 at 13:19

It worked for me (XCode 10) when I did the following 2 things:

I disconnected the iPhone, then went into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy. Then I reconnected and clicked "Trust this device" on both the Mac and the iPhone (i.e. the popups that come up when the iPhone is reconnected).
Reinstalled the app I had originally manually deleted from the iPhone.

Haven't had a chance to install application in the first place, but this method worked for me! Thank you! – Alexandr Zhurkov Dec 03 '19 at 13:18
This worked for me! I assume this bug was caused by the same computer (e.g. your laptop) building different apps with different provisioning profiles and installing onto your phone. – Winston Du Jul 12 '20 at 08:06

I ran into this same problem today. It appears to be an Apple bug that occurs when you manually delete all apps on your device attached to the same developer account.

An easy work around is to create a completely new Hello World app and deploy it to your device. When the "Developer App certificate" message pops up then you can proceed to settings and trust your account again and Viola! Your other apps will start working again.

Disconnect your mobile from your mac and then visit

Settings -> General > Profiles & Device management

option is available for me. But when I connect mobile with Xcode for testing its not there

I saw it was there (Settings -> General) after I disconnected my iPhone from the computer. I didn't do anything!

I downloaded the profile using Firefox and it never worked. When I download using Safari, the option started showing up. It seems the phone is not scanning the Firefox downloads folder for profiles.

I am using iphone 8, it is running the ios version 14.2. I can install my react native ios app successfully, although the app will not open or launch after installation. my iphone device did not have the Profile and Device Management link under Settings. I installed the profile patch from https://www.beta.apple.com/profile or you can follow this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0DwtJlP-AQ. I then i connected the phone device again to the mac with my usb cable. building and running the app again from xcode 12, i faced the same issue. However with my device connected and the app installed( although the app could not be launched ), i go to settings > General > Profile and Device Management is now visible and i can enable the trust setting. Go back and open the app the again and it will launch just fine.

Device Management is missing in ios settings
