Untrusted Enterprise Developer Error on iPhone? Here’s a Fix~

Many iOS users often see the popup that says, “Untrusted Enterprise Developer” when trying to install apps outside of the App Store. These are the applications that were not allowed by Apple due to their term and conditions. But in most cases, they do no harm to our iPhone and iPad.

If you’re new to the whole emulators and third-party apps thing, this would be the first or second error you see. But that’s fine because there is an easy way to fix the untrusted developer popup.

Why does this error appear in the first place?

The popup only displays for apps or emulators that have been installed from Safari or sideloaded via Cydia Impactor. Since regular users are the one who installed them, they’re responsible for the apps they downloaded to their device. As a result, Apple added the warning to iPhone and iPad running iOS 9 and higher.

You will see the complete notice below.

The fix to this issue is relatively simple. If you believe the app you installed will not inject or do any harm to your iOS device, then you can tell the system to trust it.
