David I’m using Xcode 13.4.1 (13F100) on macOS Monterey 12.5 (21G72). One of my real test devices (iPhone) has installed iOS 16.0 (20A5328h). I’d like to run an app from Xcode on this iPhone. Since the iPhone uses a beta version I’m not able to use this device since it’s an Unavailable Device with unsupported OS version as you can see here:Issue
This isn’t the first time I have to deal with a problem like this. Till now, I always downloaded the beta Xcode version, extracted the folder from DeviceSupport and added it to my actual Xcode version. Then it worked.
I did the same this time. I downloaded the newest Xcode beta version, which also supports iOS 16. I added the folder 16.0 to /Volumes/Macintosh/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/.
The Unavailable Device message disappeared and I was able to build the app on the iPhone. I even got the Build Succeeded sign:
But then, a few seconds later, I get:
Failed to prepare device for development. This operation can fail if the version of the OS on the device is incompatible with the installed version of Xcode. You may also need to restart your mac and device in order to correctly detect compatibility.I already restarted both, iPhone and Mac bit without success.
Why doesn’t it work this time? Is there any workaround?
Solution
I didn’t find a workaround, so I simply downloaded the Xcode beta version, opened it, build the app to the iPhone and then deleted the beta version, since I only needed it for this one build.

A simple phone restart will fix it
I have had to come back to this SO anycodings_iphone question twice in the past couple weeks. anycodings_iphone First time, I did have to update my anycodings_iphone Xcode and iOS versions, which fixed the anycodings_iphone issue. Now, the issue has returned, but anycodings_iphone there are no updates. I tried anycodings_iphone disconnecting and reconnecting my phone anycodings_iphone from my laptop, but to no avail.
What fixed it the second time was merely anycodings_iphone restarting my phone. I am curious if anycodings_iphone that would have fixed it the first time anycodings_iphone too, without needing to have updated.
I know this is just echoing the other anycodings_iphone answers here, but at the very least, I anycodings_iphone would recommend just starting with a anycodings_iphone simple phone restart and seeing if that anycodings_iphone fixes your problem. Here is the specific anycodings_iphone screenshot that I encountered, in case anycodings_iphone yours is the same (pro tip: you can open anycodings_iphone up the "Devices and Simulators" window anycodings_iphone by going to Window -> Devices and anycodings_iphone Simulators shift-command-2).

Exact same problem here, this solved the anycodings_iphone issue for me:
- Delete the app from the phone
- Clean the Build Folder with: ⌘ + shift + K
- Delete derived data
- Unpair device (from ⌘ + shift + 2 window)
- Disconnect iPhone
- Restart iPhone
- Restart Mac
- Trust
After this, it worked for me.

This error shows because of iPhone OS anycodings_iphone version is not supported by Xcode that's anycodings_iphone why this warning popped up, so check anycodings_iphone which max ios version is supported by anycodings_iphone Xcode which you are using.
In my case, the Xcode version is 13.1 anycodings_iphone and my iOS version is 15.4 so what I anycodings_iphone did, First downloaded device support anycodings_iphone version 15.4 from here (Download anycodings_iphone according to your device version) and anycodings_iphone added this to my Xcode.
steps to add the file in Xcode:-
Go to Applications > Right click on anycodings_iphone Xcode and Select Show Package Contents anycodings_iphone > Contents > Developer > anycodings_iphone Platforms > iPhoneOS.platform > anycodings_iphone DeviceSupport.
Extract your device support file to anycodings_iphone DeviceSupport Folder.
Restart Xcode and unplug and plug in anycodings_iphone your device.

I could not get the phone to authorize anycodings_iphone until I had the paired Apple Watch trust anycodings_iphone the computer as well. A more helpful anycodings_iphone error message could be imagined.
Both the iPhone and the paired Apple anycodings_iphone Watch must trust the computer before the anycodings_iphone phone can be successfully prepared for anycodings_iphone development.

I experienced this problem when using anycodings_iphone the iPhone's personal hotspot on my Mac. anycodings_iphone The fix was to disconnect the phone from anycodings_iphone the computer, then disconnect from the anycodings_iphone personal hotspot and reconnect again. anycodings_iphone Apparently this makes the mac use the anycodings_iphone wifi hotspot (and not the usb hotspot on anycodings_iphone the iPhone, which messes things up when anycodings_iphone debugging).

I think having an apple watch paired to anycodings_iphone your iphone causes some issues.
I had trusted from my apple watch, but anycodings_iphone was still having this issue. Unparing my anycodings_iphone apple watch from my iphone was the only anycodings_iphone thing that worked for me:
- unpair apple watch from iphone
- unpair iphone from xcode
Restart both, and don't pair apple watch anycodings_iphone until the iphone is paired.
and, if you have any other problems, and anycodings_iphone are using flutter, run flutter doctor, anycodings_iphone and ensure you have cocoapods installed.
and once again, if Flutter issues, anycodings_iphone follow the details here to ensure you anycodings_iphone have your signing setup correctly
also, if things aren't working, then do anycodings_iphone a flutter clean, and then try again.

Updating Xcode is a fix because old anycodings_iphone versions of Xcode can't talk to new anycodings_iphone versions of iOS (see anycodings_iphone //developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ anycodings_iphone for compatibility).
If you're stuck on an old version of anycodings_iphone Xcode you can use something like anycodings_iphone //github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport anycodings_iphone or anycodings_iphone //github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport anycodings_iphone which installs the newer device support anycodings_iphone files into older versions of Xcode.

- In most cases, the error message shows your xcode supported iOS version is lower than your iPhone's iOS version.
- Update your xcode.
