I have chronic problems with the connection between Xcode and my phone.
I plug the phone in and Xcode says "Waiting for phone to unlock", but the phone is already unlocked. I try locking and unlocking it, but nothing happens.
If I can get past this problem by disconnection and reconnecting the phone a couple of times, it gets into the "downloading symbols" phase and never gets out of it.
Finally, even though I have checked the "Connect via network" option, it never works, and I can never connect unless I plug in the phone with a USB cord (yes, the phone and the computer are on the same Wifi network).
Some days this is just an annoyance, but some days (like today) I really need to test something on my phone for a customer who's waiting for it, and I cannot. The thing I'm trying to test involves sending text messages so I can't use the simulator or even an iPad. What can I do to debug this problem?

Add a Commentdid you find a solution? I have the same issue
You can either force quit Xcode and relaunch it or wait for it to time out. This issue needs to be addressed by Apple to allow users to cancel the operation, as it can be frustrating when Xcode automatically selects a previous device without notice, causing the intended testing device to be overlooked.
