- Click on the Build number 7 times until a message appears saying "You are now a developer."
Step 2: Setup Downloader App
Now that you are a developer, we can install the installation tool:
- Go to the Apps tab on your Home screen.
- Search for "Downloader" and install it.
- Go back to Settings > Privacy > Security & Restrictions > Unknown Sources.
- Find Downloader in the list and toggle the switch to ON.
