Xcode does not see Apple Vision Pro headset

I have had my Apple Vision Pro headset working with Xcode before, but it has been a while since testing in the headset. Today, Xcode on my M1 Mac Studio could not see my Apple Vision Pro to run code on the headset.

  • I have updated my headset to visionOS 2.4 developer beta

  • Both Mac and headset are on the same Wi-Fi network (I am typing this on my Mac via Mac Virtual Display).

  • Headset has developer mode turned on.

  • Initially I tried on the latest macOS (15.3.x) an Xcode (16.2) releases, but Xcode failed to find the headset.

  • I installed the lated Xcode beta (16.3 beta), but it still failed to find the headset.

  • I installed the latest developer beta on my Mac (15.4), but neither Xcode (16.2) nor Xcode beta (16.3) can find the headset.

  • When I try to manage devices in Xcode, my Apple Vision Pro headset does not appear.

Any idea what I am missing?

In case someone else runs ints this problem, or I do in the future and find this post, here is what I did:

In Apple Vision Pro, I selected

Settings > General > Remote Devices

The pane said it was available for pairing.

In Xcode, I selected the "No eligible devices" in the destination pop-up (down?) menu.

In the "Devices and Simulators" windows, my Apple Vision Pro shows up.

Then I could select it and pair with it (a challenge code popped up in the Vision Pro).
