Can't Enable Developer Mode – Device Not Recognized

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to register as a Facebook developer, but I’m getting the following message when I try to enable developer mode:

''
You can't make this change at the moment. This is because we noticed you are using a device you don't usually use and we need to keep your account safe. We'll allow you to make this change after you've used this device for a while.

''

This is my personal device and I use it regularly to log in to Facebook. I really need access to developer features for my work, and I’m currently stuck.

I also saw this reply in another thread ( link ), which suggested sending a private message. I did that, but I received a response from Meta Store Support, which doesn’t seem to be the right team.

Can someone from the developer support team help me resolve this issue or let me know how to verify my identity?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Exactly the same here!! Same process, but haven't got a response from Meta yet (3 days passed) 😐

    Hello all! Meta Support can help you with this problem, but you'll have to reach out to Meta Quest Support rather than Meta Developer Support. Please file a ticket here and they should be able to help you!
