Xcode 16 - Timeout while connecting to remote device.

Hi,

I'm using XCode 16 to connect my iPhone. Recently I'm getting an error as below while connecting to Xcode to install the app

Timeout while connecting to remote device.
Domain: com.apple.mobiledevice
Code: -402652910
User Info: {
DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-04-02 15:03:29 +0000";
FunctionName = "_AMDeviceCreateWithRemoteDeviceWithError";
IDERunOperationFailingWorker = IDEInstallCoreDeviceWorker;
LineNumber = 334;
}

System Information

macOS Version 15.3.2 (Build 24D81) Xcode 16.2 (23507) (Build 16C5032a)

Is there any way we can connect iOS 18 devices through USB only?

What model of iPhone are you connecting to, and what iOS version does it have? iPhone 16e requires an additional download, which you can find in the Components section of Settings.

Xcode 16.3 is also now released, so it would be helpful to know if upgrading to Xcode 16.3 resolves this for you.

Hi Ed Ford,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried in iPhone 15 Pro Max (iOS 16.3). I have upgraded to iOS 16.4 along with Xcode 16.3. Still no luck

Note: I have iPhone 8 Plus(iOS 16.7.10 which works fine

I presume you mean iOS 18.4 in that message, since iPhone 15 Pro Max didn't exist in the iOS 16 era.

Have you ruled out VPN or other security software that may be filtering your network traffic? You should do this if you haven't already.

If this still reproduces once you've done that, then I'd like you to file bug report. As part of your report, you should install the macOS and iOS CoreDevice logging profiles, and then collect a sysdiagnose once you've reproduced the issue. Post the FB number here for the record.

The above link for ruling out other software that is interfering with your device connection will take you down that path.

Thank you @DTS Engineer for the suggestions. Ye, I meant OS 18.4. I'll try out and get back to you.
