  • I was able to solve this using the StackOverflow question mentioned by @Claude31 below. In my case, I opened "Devices and Simulators", then unpaired the device, closed Xcode, opened Xcode, and re-paired the device.

Ugh literally same. Why has this not been addressed yet. I've followed solutions on stack overflow and nothing has worked

I fixed it by:

  1. Going to Window > Devices and Simulators, Clicking the device and checking 'Connect via Network'
  2. Unplugging the device
  3. Quitting Xcode
  4. Plugging the device back in
  5. Relaunching Xcode
  6. Going back to Window > Devices and Simulators and verifying the check for 'Connect via Network' was still on
  7. Run

I solved my problem by turning off and on the developer Mode in the device's privacy and security again.

I'm also experiencing the same issue with my iPhone 7 on iOS 15.7.7. Despite my attempts to fix it, the problem persists. It's quite frustrating. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I had to "Erase All Content and Settings" on my testing iPhone. NOTHING else worked.
