An update to Xcode 14 appeared in the Mac App store today 2022-11-12. After updating Xcode from the App store app on my M1 MacBook, and plugging in an iPad, also updated today 2022-11-12 to iOS 15.7, Xcode says: "Failed to prepare the device for development".
A restart of both the Mac and the iPad doesn't fix this issue. Is there a way to get Xcode 14 to debug an 15.7 iPad? Or is a different build required?
There also is no 15.7 directory inside Xcode's iPhoneOS DeviceSupport directory.
Fix: cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport sudo ln -s 15.5 15.7
Explanation: Xcode 13.4.1 contains DeviceSupport folders up to 15.5 and works with iOS 15.7 devices. 15.7 is missing in 14.0, it will try to use 15.6, which fails to prepare the iOS device for development. If we copy 15.5 to 15.7 or create a link, the 15.5 folder is used, which works for iOS 15.7. My iPhone 7 Plus is recognised instantly over the network, and Developer menu appears in Settings.
Not sure why, but after upgrading to macOS 12.6, now I can deploy the app to iPad with iOS 15.7 by Xcode 14 which does not support iOS 15.7 (previously it's impossible with old macOS version 12.5) 😅
Xcode 14.0 (14A309) is not having iOS 15.7 Device support sdk. Therefore unable to run on these devices. To Solve this problem, there is two option.
Xcode 14.0.1 Release Candidate is now available for download, addressing this issue. If you continue to see issues using Xcode 14.0.1 with iOS 15.7, please let us know through Feedback Assistant, and post the FB numbers here.
LMFAO another 7gb download literally is so crazy and annoying every time ☠️💀
Same problem for me. Xcode 14.0 and iPhone with iOS 15.7 can't be connected. Restarted Mac and iPhone (this several times), no change. How can such a big bug happen?
Today I succeeded updating Xcode from 13.3.1 to 14.0.1 in the AppStore, and could build and run my App on my iPhone SE (1st Gen) under iOS 15.7.
did you guys resolve this issue I am facing this with iPad 15.7 my app is rejected because of this app not responding in iPad 15.7 with Xcode 14.0.1 if any one have solution please tell asap thanks in advance
I installed Xcode_14.1_beta_3 and the device became functional until i restarted it.
Then I installed XCode_13.4.1 and the device is functional there but not functional in Xcode14 or the beta.
I am having the same issue with xcode 14.1 running on MacOS Ventura and my device is an iPhone 7 running iOS 15.7.1.
I can't run xcode 13.4.1 on Ventura and I am not sure what to do!
Same issue. XCode Version 14.1 beta (14B5024h) does NOT work with iOS 15.7.1. Time to download 7gb. this is insanity.
Same issue with Xcode 14.2 and iPhone 7 with 15.7.3, unable to prepare.
Same issue. In my case, I'm trying to test a Flutter app for personal purposes with a free Developer account, using:
Any news about this? Also, I wanted to highlight that last time I update Xcode, I spend like 2 weeks to fix tons on compatibility issues between VS Code, Flutter and Xcode itself. So, I really hope that I do not have to update Xcode again and struggling a lot to make things work. Cheers!
Same issue. I'm running macOS Ventura on my Mac Mini M2 Pro, which prevents me from installing Xcode versions earlier than Xcode 14. Despite attempting to install Xcode 13.4.1, it doesn't work on Ventura.
There's a mention in the thread that a fix is available for Xcode 15.7 after Xcode 14.0.1, but it doesn't resolve the issue for me. Currently, I have Xcode Version 14.3 installed, but I can't use it with my iPhone 7 running iOS version 15.7. Additionally, downgrading my iPhone 7 to a version below 15.7 isn't possible because none of the previous versions are signed.
I've also tried adding the 15.7 device support image to Xcode 14.3, as it was missing, but this didn't solve the problem either.
I'm also facing the same issue for Xcode Version 14.2 (14C18) and iOS version 16.5.1 even after rebooting device multiple times.
I'm also facing the same issue for Xcode Version 14.3.1 and iOS 15.7.8
Broken again in Xcode Version 15.0 (15A240d). USB works and the iPhone is successfully prepared for development. Network run destination is broken. Tested with iPhone 7 Plus iOS 15.7.9. If I run Xcode 14, the phone is automatically prepared for development over the network and I can run and debug apps.
Same issue here on Monterey, Xcode 14.2, iPhone 7, iOS 15.8 I had to revert to Xcode 13.4.1 (32 GB on disk 🙄) Now it works Obviously Apple do not care about supporting old phones
