Use iOS 10.3.3 with Xcode Version 8.2.1? - ios

I am using Xcode Version 8.2.1 and cannot upgrade because I am working off of a 2008 MBP and the latest versions of Xcode are not supported.
I trying to run a project on an iPhone 5 which is running iOS 10.3.3 however, when i try to run the project from Xcode I get the following error message:
I checked the device support folder located at:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
and I see that the 10.3 folder is not present
Is there a way I can add a folder for 10.3 device support? Is there a place I can download it and add it into my Xcode?
If this is not possible, does anyone know a way to downgrade to an unsigned iOS firmware such as 10.2 or lower?

You can download the Xcode 8.3 separately(or get it from here :https://gist.github.com/steipete/d9b44d8e9f341e81414e86d7ff8fb62d#gistcomment-2041802) and get the 10.3 SDK from that which resides in Developer/Platforms directory. Reboot system as well as XCode and select SDk in settings as 10.3

You have to update your Xcode with 8.3 or later or download .dmg file from here

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.

This iPhone is running iOS 12.0 (16A366), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode

I am using Xcode (Version 9.0 (9A235)), and when I tried to run my app on my iPhone, I am getting this error.
This iPhone is running iOS 12.0 (16A366), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
I can't update my Xcode due to an incompatible version of macOS.
Any other solution?
You need to use xcode 10 for ios version 12.0.
Download files based in your iPhone Model IN HERE
1 - Open directory:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
3 - Create new folder "12.0 (16A366)" depends on what exactly are you missing
4 - Paste the OTA Files Uncompressed
6 - Restart Xcode
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.
Download (16A366) file from this link and paste at /Applications/Xcode10.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

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.

Use Xcode 7.3.1 with iOS 10.1 (14B67) device

I'm using Xcode 7.3.1 (7D1014). I want to install my app on an iPhone 7 plus with iOS 10 (14B67).
I have the 10.0 (14A345) folder from Xcode 8 in Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport.
I used this code ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/10.1\ \(14B67\)/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport in Terminal to create an alias named 10.1 (14B67).
The DeviceSupport-folder looks like this:
But I'm still getting Could not find Developer Disk Image when trying to build on my iPhone device.
What can I do?
UPDATE
The only solution seems to have the original 10.1 (14B65) folder. You can download the folder for 10.1 (14B65) here: http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/10114b65
iOS 10.1 requires Xcode 8.1. So you need to get 8.1 installed then you can add the soft link.
