Xcode – physical iOS – unsupported OS version (iOS 16) (cannot launch on real device)

    I hadn't have my Xcode updated. This is what I had to do:

    1. Go to AppStore
    2. Search for Xcode
    3. Click on Update

    In case you cannot launch properly a simulator from the previous versions, or it doesn't exist after updating Xcode, then, in the opened Xcode do next:

    1. click on simulator icon (top-middle)
    2. press on Add Additional Simulators
    3. give a name to your new simulator and choose one from the list Hope that works for you as well)

    If you are using older xCode then Xcode14.0 (i have Xcode13.2.1) then follow below steps:

    Download the device support file from:
    https://github.com/filsv/iOSDeviceSupport

    Unzip it and put it the folder to path:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/

    Now you need to hit and try the bellow actions(it depends some devs are lucky enough to run it on first try, not like me 🙂 ) to run the App:

    1: Quit Xcode, clean and build.

    2: Add device component, this process will work automatically when you connect your device via cable, but in case it fails you need to restart your mac once.

    3: From iPhone turn on Developer mode "Setting > privacy & security" and restart iPhone one’s(IOS 16 only)

    Last one for who are facing "iphone-is-busy-preparing-debugger-support-for-iphone" –>

    Disconnect device, Go to Xcode> devices and Simulator> , click on Plus(+) button on bottom left corner. complete the steps by clicking Next and complete the device setup process.
