Hi,

Is there a device/Xcode version compatibility list? I am trying to build and run an app on an iPhone 3GS to test compatibility with iOS 6 but Xcode 6 is not "seeing" the connected iPhone 3GS. Will I need to install Xcode 5 alongside the newer version to test on iPhone 3GS? Thank you.

Also, I know that not many devices are running iOS 6 anymore so please do not say that I shouldn't support it; some users are still using that version more various reasons and iOS 6 is the earliest version supporting autolayout (which is the only requirement for my project).

I tried connected the iPhone cable directly to the back of the iMac instead of through a hub and it worked.

The system profiler shows the iPhone connected via usb both with and withouth the hub so something in OS X does not like the hub configuration.

Did you try an ad-hoc install?

I just ran a project on a 3GS from Xcode 6.3.2, so whatever problem you're seeing is specific to your installation / devices / provisioning setup.

Hubs have always been a liability in this case - thanks for the follow up and good luck w/your testing.
