My iPhoneXR updated to 15.7, and XCode updated to 14. Which happened right as MacOS was updating, so I’m wondering if something got wonked with the XCode update. Now I can’t program my phone.
Looking in
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
there is no 15.7. But the various github repositories that have various support files, none of them include 15.7. Is there a place these are stored at?
When I open the "downloads" window for XCode, it’s just a blank window.

See Xcode 14 Release Notes:
The 15.7 support files can be downloaded from: https://github.com/JinjunHan/iOSDeviceSupport
Unzip the file in the DeviceSupport folder and (re)start xCode.
This has been resolved in the latest release candidate of Xcode 14.0.1 which can be downloaded directly from here. Apparently, Apple left out all support for 15.7 in the first release of Xcode 14.
DO NOT download what amounts to an Xcode patch from some random github repository and then patch your build system with it, like suggested in another answer!
If you can’t or do not want to upgrade to Xcode 14, and instead want to patch your Xcode 13 installation, you should download the files directly from Apple. The following describes the process step by step.
Go to https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
Click the blue "download" button.
A menu opens. Select "website" from the menu.
This will download an xib archive. This file is large (between 7 and 8GB)
Open the xib archive in a Finder window, right-click on Xcode and select "Show Package Contents". Then navigate to
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
Inside you will see directories for iOS versions. Choose the ones you are missing in your Xcode 13 installation and copy them over to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
