Xcode not supported for iOS 11.3 by Xcode 9.2 needed 9.3
Apparently, with the latest IOS update, my version of Xcode could not build due to the following error.
Could not locate device support files. This iPhone 7 Plus (Model 1661, 1784, 1785, 1786) is running iOS 11.3 (15E216), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
Tried to install Xcode 9.3 via this link https://developer.apple.com/download/more/. But as it turns out, my Mac OS version sees the update as an incompatible version. Running on Sierra 10.12.6
Solution 1:
Another option is to download the 11.3 device support at:
iOS 11.3 (15E217)
And don't forget to remove "(15E217)" from folder name, so it became "11.3". Restart Xcode afterwards.
Where to paste it according to comment of EdwardM
For those that don't know where to paste the contents of the zipped file. Find your Applications icon in the dock, right-click, "Open Applications". The folder will open in Finder. Right-click Xcode > Show Package Contents. Then go to Developer > Platforms > iPhoneOS.platform > DeviceSupport
Solution 2:
I have the same problem, OS Sierra trying to run iPhone SE with 10.3 using Xcode 9.2 and I don't have the resources to update to High Sierra and Xcode 9.3.
Solution:
- Find your friends who have Xcode 9.3
- Ask them to right click on Xcode, Show Package Contents then navigate to
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.3 (15E217) - Copy the
11.3 (15E217)folder to your old Xcode (9.2) with the same file hierarchy
Now you have Xcode 9.2 with iOS 11.3.
Solution 3:
I just give you a device support file for iOS 11.4 (15F79). which just on XCode version 9.4 (9F1027a)
Updated on 5 Oct 2018:
- Xcode 10.0 (10A255) - iOS 12.0 (16A366) [Updated 21 Sep: @Nik Burns confirmed that works]
- Xcode 10.1 beta 2 (10O35n) - iOS 12.1 (16B5068g) [Please give me feedback if that works]
Solution 4:
I have macOS 10.12.6
You can download Xcode 9.3 from https://developer.apple.com/download/
and extract the "11.3 (15E217)" folder from it
The fix really works.
