No Xcode support for iOS 12.3 - ios

My phone has updated to iOS 12.3 beta, the latest Xcode 10.2 beta only supports up to iOS 12.2.
Is there a beta version of xcode anywhere that is compatible with iOS 12.3?
I guess the options are to wait for apple to release a new version of xcode or to roll back. unless anyone knows otherwise?

I find a solution to fix this problem.
You should make a folder named 12.3 (... what is written in your error message) in Program/Xcode-beta/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platforms/DeviceSupport/ and copy the files from 12.2 in there.
Now you can run your apps on iPhones with iOS 12.3.

Any update on The IOS 12.3 Beta Developer Disk Image?
The official Debugging File for iOS 12.3 is not available.
You can try the following method to let Xcode support debugging iOS 12.3 devices.
1. Go to the folder /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
2. Create a folder named "12.3".
3. Copy the "12.2" file to the "12.3" folder.

How I fixed a similar issue with iOS 12.4
Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport and create folder called 12.4 (16G77) and copy the files from one of the previous folders f.e 12.3
Go to Xcode and click on the "Set active scheme menu" and click on Download Simulators at the bottom:
Xcode will automatically start updating and re-creating the supporting files for 12.4:
Hope this will help someone.

Actually, Xcode 10.2.1 could debug with real devices running iOS 12.3
Try it by yourself.

worked for me:
1. cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
2. cp 12.0 12.2
3. cp 12.0 12.3
4. downloaded Apple configurator and identified the connected devices
5. in xCode targeted the connected device
6. build worked

How I fixed similar issue with iOS 12.5.3 (XCode 10.1)
I opened Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport in Finder, created folder called 12.5.3 (16H41) and copied the files from folder 12.4 (16G77).

iOS 12.4 is missing in Xcode 11 GM

I have installed Xcode 11 GM and can't find iOS 12.4.1 simulator anymore. iOS 12.4.1 was installed in Xcode 10.3, but it is not available in Xcode 11 for some reason (not only iOS 12.4 - other simulators are also missing). Moreover, I can't download it via "Add Additional Simulators..." - the latest one available is 12.2. Any ideas why so and how to fix? 🤔
Thanks!
iOS 12.4 simulator files can be found in the Xcode 10.3 app bundle. While you can't download it from within Xcode (at the moment), you can simply copy them to the folder where additional simulators are usually installed. Go to the following subfolder, it is located inside Xcode.app (10.3):
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes
and copy the iOS.simruntime package to here:
/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes
Rename iOS.simruntime to iOS 12.4.simruntime.
Restart Xcode 11.
The 12.4 simulator is now available (in Xcode 11.1 at least):

This iPhone 7 (Model 1660, 1778, 1779, 1780) is running iOS 12.3.1 (16F203), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode

I getting the following error when I run the app into device.
This iPhone 7 (Model 1660, 1778, 1779, 1780) is running iOS 12.3.1 (16F203), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
my Xcode is 10.1
Your current version of Xcode does not support the iOS 12.3.1 version of the SDK.
There are a couple of options available:
Update Xcode to the latest version
Download a add the required device support files to your current version.
You can download the support files here or from the Apple Developer website. There is also instructions on where to place the files once downloaded
There may be problems with running your app on latest XCode version, but you can add supported devices to your current XCode's folder.
download version of required iOS from https://github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport
Put it to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport inside of XCode folder
Restart XCode
I have the same problem , and here is the solution worked for me
You should make a folder named 12.3 (... what is written in your error message) in Program/Xcode-beta/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platforms/DeviceSupport/ and copy the files from 12.2 in there.
Close xcode completely and reopen it.
Now you can run your apps on iOS 12.3.
Temporary solution for this change folder named 12.3.1.its working for me once we get 12.3.1 package content we will move corresponding place
You should update your XCode to support all listed devices.
For anyone who encounters this problem on Device with iOS 14 and Xcode 11.5 Version
_Download iOS 14.0 Zip from this link:
https://github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport
_and past the folder to:
Xcode/Show Package Content/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
_Quit and Restart both XCode and iPhone
_In XCode go to:
Window/Device and Simulator and Click on + Button
Select your device
Click Next and Click Done, and then build and run your XCode
Note: You can also clear your cache before the build and run your XCode
Hope this helps who faces this problem, cheers.

iOS 12 not supported by Xcode 9.4 : Could not locate device support files

This iPhone 8 (Model A1863, A1905, A1906, A1907) is running iOS 12.0 (16A5308e), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode. (Version 9.4.1 (9F2000))
can anyone help with iOS 12.x device support files from Xcode 10 beta?
iOS 12 is only supported by the beta of Xcode 10 or higher.
If you want to use your iPhone 8 with this iOS version (NOT RECOMMENDED) with your Xcode 9.4 you can try to download the last beta of Xcode 10 and after connecting the iPhone to the mac go to this folder:
/Applications/Xcode10.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
You can see the iOS version folder of the iPhone, copy and past it to the same location in your Xcode 9.4 folder.
After this you should be able to deploy to your iPhone 8.
As answered by #Kerberos you can copy the iOS 12 device support files to:
/Applications/Xcode10.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
👉 https://github.com/Yatko/iOS-device-support-files
The link provided by Yatko is not supporting the newest iOS 12 versions (public release).
This repository has more iOS versions to offer: https://github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport
Copy the files to the same path as described by Kerberos.
Another convenient way to achieve this without downloading Xcode 10.
https://github.com/sauravexodus/xcode-9-ios-12-support
Note: If you have multiple Xcode versions then be careful with the path written in install.sh file.
Just download latest OS SDK (iOS 12.2) and paste it on respective location.
Downloadable URL:
13.2
13.1
13.0
12.4
12.3
12.2 (16E226)
12.1
12.0 (16A5288q)
11.4 (15F5037c)
11.3 (15E5189d)
11.2

10.3 (14E5239d)
10.2 (14C89)
10.1
10.0 (14A5339a)
Follow below step.
1) Unzipped downloaded file
2) Right click on Xcode and click on Show Package Content
3) Then paste your file on path
Contents -> Developer -> Platforms -> iPhoneOS.platforms -> DeviceSupport
4) Restart Xcode
Is it very convenient, saving the trouble of updating Xcode. what? You can't find a new Device Support file! Ok, you can copy it out from your friend's latest Xcode, or download from here
Update:
The added iOS Disk image for iOS 13.0, 12.3 and iOS 12.4

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
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
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.
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]
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.
please add both of "11.3 (15E216)" and "11.3 (15E217)"
keep all of them inside /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
I recently stumbled upon the same problem, where I basically updated my iPhone X to the newest OS version, and (for reasons I will not go into) had to run the app on Xcode 9.2.
This thread was helpful, but there's one small caveat that even though I downloaded the newest support files from the provided Github project, and put them in the appropriate folder, I was still getting this error:
Say for example you’ve downloaded 11.4 (15F79) but after restarting and running again you get an error mentioning something like 11.4.1 (15G77).
The solution, as I wrote here, was to just rename the folder (so, rename 11.4 (15F79) to 11.4.1 (15G77)), restart Xcode and voila, it works!
Hope this helps someone 👍
I have macOS 10.13.4
I downloaded Xcode 9.3
Here you have the "11.3 (15E217)" it's work fine.
Quicker/Smaller Fix
This is probably due to outdated Xcode, if you don't want a big Xcode update due to limited storage/time then you can manually download the required support files instead of the whole update.
Download the files (depend on iOS veersion) from here
And then paste the downloaded files in below directory /Applications/Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

Apple - iOS - Testing on iOS 10.3 with XCode 8.2.1

I have a MacBook with El Capitan installed on it. I cannot upgrade to sierra! Because of that, I cannot install XCode 8.3.
Now I need to test an App with iOS 10.3 but I cannot build it with XCode 8.2.1 for iOS 10.3. I have an pyhsical device with iOS 10.3 but XCode wont let me run it on that device.
What to do now?
Doing so is still possible with this simple workaround:
Download the latest Xcode
Right click on the downloaded Xcode.app, select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport subfolder
Move the 10.3 folder to the identical location in your local Xcode 8.2.1 installation
Don't get disappointed. There is one way.
If you have access any of the mac that is running the latest xcode and up to date simulators, then navigate to this directory copy the simulators you need and past it on the same directory in your OSX.
You can then be able to run the app on the latest simulator and the updated physical device!
/Applications/Xcode8.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
Unfortunately, you're out of luck. As this answer specifies, iOS 10.3 requires Xcode 8.3 or greater, which in turn requires macOS Sierra.
