How to allow untrusted developer on iphone

I am trying to make my own iOS applications by using Xcode 7 and iOS 9.0. I have successfully been able to install the app on my own iPod by following Xcode 7 develop for iOS without developer account however when I run the application I get this error:

I had a quick look in the Settings app but cannot find a way to allow this application that I made. How would I 'trust' this application running iOS 9?

Enterprise and other certificates have to be manually trusted on iOS 9 when they didn't have to on iOS 8 and earlier.

On iOS 9 (and maybe others):

• Open the Settings app
• Open General
• Open Profiles (you won’t see this until after the first profile is installed on an iOS device)
• Choose the affected profile and trust it

On iOS 15.7 (and maybe others):

• Open the Settings app
• Open General
• Open VPN & Device Management
• Choose the affected profile and trust it

If you don't see "Profiles & Device Management" then your device needs to reinstall the app or get the appropriate profile from MDM / other enrollment. Also, if your network or system blocks any outbound traffic to Apple servers for time sync, OCSP/CRL or notarization checks, you will see errors or potentially have other challenges to run apps.

On later versions (ios 14.4 and xcode 12.4) I've fixed with the following

• Open the Settings app
• Open General
• Open Device Management
• Click on Apple Develpment

From here you should be able to trust the app. :-)

Alternative way to fix this error:

• Open Xcode app on your Mac
• Navigate to Window > Devices
• Right click on your device > "Show Provisioning Profiles..." > and delete the profiles
• Delete the installed app on your device
• Now rebuild and install the app again

Note: In my case only "Settings > "General" > "Profiles" was shown instead of "Profiles & Device Management", and these steps solved the issue.

On iPad or iPhone using iOS 15.4.1:

• Select your device and build the project using XCode to the target device. "You will get the error here."
• After that open Settings.
• Find General.
• Seek VPN & Device Management section and open it.
• Click your iCloud account and trust it.

Might be a bit late, but to anyone still searching for a solution to this problem, I finally fixed it by turning on automatic date & time settings on the iPhone.

On your iPhone: Go to Settings  > General > Date & Time. Then turn off and on again the "Set Automatically" setting.

For somme absurd and unknown reason that seemed to solve the problem, for me at least. Hope it helps.

Note: I have an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.6 and i use xCode 13.4.1
