Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enable or disable Developer Mode on my account through KAST Concierge?
Developer Mode is a device-level setting and cannot be managed by our Concierge team or through your account. You must enable or disable it directly on your device.
Is there a way to whitelist Developer Mode for the KAST app?
KAST require Developer Mode to be off for security reasons. There is no standard way to whitelist Developer Mode for individual apps.
What if I need Developer Options for other purposes in the future?
You can re-enable Developer Mode at any time by following the steps to enable it in your device's settings. Be aware that enabling Developer Mode may affect the functionality or security of your KAST app.
Why am I seeing issues if my phone is not in Developer Mode?
If you are experiencing issues and Developer Mode is already off, the problem may be unrelated. Please contact KAST Concierge for further troubleshooting.
Does disabling Developer Mode delete anything from my device?
No. Turning off Developer Mode only disables access to developer tools and settings. Your apps, files, and data remain untouched.
Will I need to restart my phone after disabling Developer Mode?
On most devices, yes. A restart is usually required for the change to take effect.
How do I know if Developer Mode is already off?
Go to your device’s settings. If you do not see “Developer options” listed, or if the toggle is already switched off, then Developer Mode is disabled.
What risks come with leaving Developer Mode on?
Leaving Developer Mode enabled can expose your device to security risks, allow unauthorized access to system functions, or cause conflicts with apps like KAST.
Do iPhones and iPads have Developer Mode like Android devices?
