iPhoneOSDeviceSupport

Xcode iPhoneOS DeviceSupport (6.0 - 17.0) [WatchOS | tvOS];

[!NOTE] Bonus Tip: Free Up Disk Space from Xcode Caches using Clean My Xcode

[!NOTE] NEW Easily install iOS Device Support files for Xcode using this terminal script:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filsv/iOSDeviceSupport/master/scripts/install_device_support.sh)

Steps:

  1. Copy and paste the command into your terminal and press Enter.
  2. Enter the desired iOS version (e.g., 16.6) when prompted.
  3. Enter your macOS password when asked (required to copy files into Xcode’s system directory).
  4. Sit back and let the script handle everything for you!
</br>

[!WARNING] <strong>iOS 17+ Workaround (Xcode 14+ required):</strong><br> In the terminal run: </br>

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTEnableCoreDevice enabled

Then restart Xcode 14 the iOS 17 device will show up in Xcode like below and you can run and debug the app as usual. (You may need to go to Devices and Simulators to pair/trust the device).

I have Xcode 15 beta installed alongside Xcode 14, ~I'm not sure if that's required or not.~

Important Point: It turns out Xcode 15 is required to complete initial device setup for development.After the device setup is completed on Xcode 15, iOS 17 devices can be used with Xcode 14 too.
