About

LL Pair

Read full description

Designed for LocationLab users, LL Pair helps you prepare Developer Mode and pair locally on an iPhone running iOS 27 or later. Export the resulting pairing file for use with LocationLab or other tools that support this format. LL Pair itself does not require those apps to be installed. If Developer Mode is missing from Settings, use the Show It option in LL Pair, then enable it in system Settings, restart, and confirm as iOS instructs. LL Pair cannot turn on the system switch for you. Once enabled, select the LL Pair pairing host in Settings and enter the code shown by the app. After pairing succeeds, send the file directly to a compatible version of LocationLab or export it to a destination you choose. Pairing credentials remain on this iPhone unless you explicitly send or export them. Keep the file secure. LL Pair does not provide location or VPN features and does not download a Developer Disk Image.
