  • Same here, I did remove phone from the Xcode devices, laptop reboot, iPhone reboot, with cable or no cable (over the network), all of that didn't help.

Apple and Xcode - these are two different companies, and Xcode seems to be slowing down

  • Xcode is not a company. It is a a software application developed by the company Apple Inc.

Really annoying to have to use a beta xcode for a released version of iOS

Same issue and sadly not the first time that the iOS version exceeds the Xcode capability.

There are two options here, as this occurs often when an iOS Release is done and Xcode is behind:

For those who can install the beta or the release candidate that only works on MacOS Ventura:

  1. install the Xcode 14.3 RC 2 over the Software Downloads page (@America3D) pointed out direct link. This version includes the iOS 16.4 version.

For those cannot install the newest Xcode version:

  1. Download the 14.3 RC2, "show the package contents" of the app (context menu on app-file or right click on file). Navigate to "Xcode-14.3.0-Release.Candidate.2.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/". Copy the 6.4 directory in the same directory for your current Xcode version.

  • Thank you. The first option did not work, but the second option did allow me to connect my iPhone version 16.4.1! I'm still on an intel mac, so cannot update to Ventura (version 13). Copying 16.4 directory worked just fine.👍

  • The second approach saved my day. It is insane to lose the ability to test in some devices just because we updated them. Terrible choices: throw your macbook in the garbage or use a iPhone without security and improvement updates. Unfortunately I will be forced to stick with the second.
