You should review the documentation article that @Hoffman cited. Additionally. pairing the device with Xcode is a required step to make Developer Mode available. There is a process that Xcode needs to go through with the device in order to prepare the device for development.

I suggest you create a brand new tester project from one of the templates in Xcode available in the File > New menu, set it up with your developer account so it can be run on device, and then actually run that project on the device. Going through these motions will take you through the expected steps required for Xcode to prepare the device for development, including making Developer Mode available for use.

Connect the iPhone to a Mac running Xcode here using a USB-A to Lightning cable, and the Developer Mode switch will appear.

I’m aware of no other means to enable Developer Mode, other than cabling the device to a Mac.
