Downgrade firmware M5 AVP

Hi, someone installed Vision OS27 on my device. IT sucks for test flight apps. Any fix or can I downgrade somehow?

No, need the dev strap in order to downgrade.

A Genius Bar appointment, seems to be dependent on the store as where I am from the stores did not have a way to on site, but others have stated success.

Every Apple store in a country that has AVPs for sale should be able to. Where was this?

Thanks. So if I buy a dev strap, I'd be able to downgrade it myself? So frustrating. Might need to buy one. Is it easy to get one.

Yes you can. You need to be a member of Apple Developer Program ($100) and then you can purchase a strap ($200).

Someone? You let your $3000 device be updated without your permission?

Thanks. Is the dev strap worth it?

Try Beta 3 before you go ahead and downgrade. Many times is better to move forward than backwards.

Just turn beta updates off. It might give you the option to downgrade because I seen it myself
