I just created a developer account, and am trying to gain access to the developer functionality in the app.
I have followed the steps in Getting Started; logging in to Fitbit Studio, and accepted the TOS that popped up.
I have tried the sequence of logging in and out as per the guide on 9to5tutorial.com, including clearing the app cache and doing a reboot of my phone after step 3.
Still I cannot find the Developer menu, and I can not find any steps to debug why the Developer menu does not show up.

Yes. It isn't possible to develop clockfaces or apps for Charge 5.

Fitbit Charge 5, but does that matter?

Now that you mention it, I don't see any references to any of the Charge models on the developer pages, though I can't find any list of devices that are supported or not, either. Where can I find this information?
Furthermore, Fitbit references their store, apps, and clockfaces as usual in my Charge 5 and the Fitbit app (including device specific-settings), which is very confusing if those things aren't really a thing for that device.
It also does not make any sense that my Fitbit app should not have developer capabilities just because I haven't yet paired it with a supported watch.
Fitbit should really have better documentation regarding this.

The key is "Fitbit OS devices". Versas and Senses run that; trackers don't.
