Is it anticipated for a retail bought, non-provisioned gadgets configured with developer mode pressure enabled?
I just lately purchased two MacBooks with AppleCare+ by means of Apple retail channels which might be developer mode pressure enabled. I did not buy the MacBooks with enterprise or developer accounts.
Machine 1
A MacBook Professional from Apple.com as an authorized refurbished unit (the one talked about above) for retailer pickup. After unusual mdm kind habits (wifi settings and so on. altering with out my involvement and what seem like mdm associated community calls) I took it the Genius bar and Apple carried out the next actions:
- Recent MacOS set up
- DFU restore
- Logic board substitute
Developer mode pressure enabled continued on the machine after every of the steps above. <– see under
Machine 2
Due to my expertise with the MacBook Professional I went and bought a MacBook Air M4 on the Cupertino customer middle retailer with AppleCare+ a number of weeks in the past. I carried out the next analysis:
- Booted solely into Restoration Mode <– Word, I’ve but to set the machine up with a neighborhood account.
- Whereas in restoration mode, I related to the web.
- In terminal, I checked the AMFI logs and once more noticed developer mode pressure enabled. <– see under
Listed below are a few of outputs from terminal from each machines:
spctl kext-consent standing
Kernel Extension Consumer Consent: ENABLED
spctl --status
assessments enabled
csrutil standing
System Integrity Safety standing: enabled.

Developer mode is at present disabled.
log present --predicate 'eventMessage CONTAINS "AMFI"' --info --last 7d
AMFI: developer mode is pressure enabled on this platform
Notes
- For the MacBook Professional, there aren’t any System Preferences seen configuration profiles or extensions put in on the machine.
- Manually enabling / disabling developer mode has no impression on the AMFI developer mode setting for both machine.
- MDM is listed as disabled in terminal for each machines.
