Xcode stuck at "Processing Symbol Files" - ios

When I try to run my app on my device Xcode gets stuck on processing symbol files.
I restarted the machine (I'm using VirtualBox), tried a different USB port, restarted the host computer, cleaned the build folder, tried a different project, updated Xcode to 8.2, tried to use Xcode 7.3 but nothing worked. My device does show in iTunes.
I left iTunes open when I tried to run it on my iPad and then it said "Unable to copy symbol files - unable to read required data from device"
Xcode 8.2 (latest currently) and iOS 10.1

Today I have solved exactly the same problem. I think the main problem is in VirtualBox USB controller. Go to the settings of your virtual machine, select USB and you will see 'USB Controller 1.1 (OHCI)' by default. You have to select 'USB controller 2.0 (EHCI)'.
I have:
- VirtualBox: 5.1.12r112440 (Qt5.6.2)
- macOS Sierra 10.12.2 with the latest updates.
- XCode 8.2
- iPhone 5, iOS 10.2
Be sure that:
- You have original lightning cable
- You can see your iDevice in iTunes
- Try to restart your MAC and iDevice

This happened to me as well. What I did:
Make sure all your hardware (iPhones, iPads ect..) are all up to date.
Make sure Xcode and all other software are up to their latest versions.
After you have done both of those, restart your computer and try again.
It will take a while for Xcode to processes the index files for the first time, but after these steps above, it should work fine.

Try this:
Clean Project
Remove this folder Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache
Find your project folder in Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ and remove
Restart Xcode

1.Clean Project
2. Go to window tab , Device and simulator
3.Right click on your device list then click unpair device and reconnect the device.

Xcode 12: Failed to start remote service "com.apple.debugserver" on iOS device

I updated my Xcode to Version 12.4 (12D4e) and after that I am unable to run my app on my device
iPhone X iOS 14.4.2.
Its alway show this Error
When I check my device connected status, Its show as connected
Action I applied
Clear DerivedData folder.
Unpair device and connected again.
Drank 20+ coffees.
I was able to fix the Xcode 12 app install/deployment issue described above:
Failed to start remote service "com.apple.debugserver" on device.
Domain: com.apple.dtdevicekit
Code: 811
Recovery Suggestion: Please check your connection to your device.
User Info: {
DVTRadarComponentKey = 261622;
}
...
by doing the following steps:
Quiting Xcode.
Deleting Xcode cache directory (ie, rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode).
Rebooting the offending iOS device.
Connecting the iOS device to Xcode by cable (instead of wireless network connection).
Starting Xcode again.
By the way, I've a setup very close to yours:
Xcode 12.5 (build 12E262) and
iOS 14.5.1 (on a iPhone Xʀ device)
1st solution
I fixed this by:
Closing Xcode
Deleting the current iOS version in my folder that's related to my device.
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport
Restarting Xcode. Wait a little bit for it to refresh and copy cache files in my case then Run.
Based on Can I delete data from the iOS DeviceSupport directory? it's ok to delete the iOS DeviceSupport folder.
I noticed when I did it and reconnected my device it re-downloaded the iOS device Support files.
If the support files don't download and the cache files are not copying, try restarting your computer as well.
I started also getting this error:
Errors were encountered while preparing your device for development.
Please check the Devices and Simulators Window.
Restart your phone and reconnect it to the compter if this happens. Then you should get a message in Xcode saying:
Preparing your phone for development.
2nd solution
Unpair the device in Xcode.
Clean the project.
Unplug and then restart iPhone.
Restart Xcode.
3rd solution
If none of the above worked, I was able to run the program by re-enabling Connect via Network.
After doing this now I can run project via USB.
4th solution
I submitted this bug to Apple. Apple also suggests this can be caused by faulty data cords. Maybe try another cord as well.
Unplug the iPhone, Turn it off and again turn it on and reconnect. It worked for me. Sometimes iPhone Debug connection network server clogs up. When you restart iPhone it reinitiate the connection.
This issue keeps happening and it seems like there's a myriad of reasons that may cause it, and so there are a lot of solutions that fixed it for people. Someone even suggested that none of the fixes actually work, and it's only the fact that time passes as we try different solutions that actually fixes it. Nevertheless, I will share what worked for me and what I found so far.
a. In the past, the issue was most often caused for me by using an older version of Xcode with a newer iOS. Apple doesn't always release the version of Xcode that supports the latest iOS at the same time, and this issue sometimes happens as a result of that. There are people who suggest right clicking the Xcode App > Show Package Contents > Developer > Platforms > iPhoneOS.platform > Device Support and renaming the folder for the latest supported version to the one running on the phone (for example renaming 16.0 to 16.1). I've had better luck with using the Beta of Xcode if it's not out yet (in this case using 14.1 RC2 instead of 14.0.1).
b. Incrementing the build number and setting a Display Name. This seems to have fixed the issue after nothing else worked. Again, this seems very random, so it could be unrelated, but it did fix it in my case after nothing else suggested on all the threads about this worked.
c. Deleting the profile in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management
Other suggestions I've seen across threads:
Restarting the device (seems to be the most popular solution)
Unpairing the device
Checking device status under Window > Devices and Simulators. There may sometimes be some further info about what is going on here, the device may still be preparing for development or downloading symbols or whatever
Using another cable. This never worked for me, after trying with 3 cables, 2 from Apple and one 3rd party, but others reported it worked
Deleting Derived Data (use Dev Cleaner or rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Uninstalling the app manually from the device
Resetting Network Settings
Force restarting the iPhone
Apple really needs better errors and less ridiculous bugs like this.
I had to update Xcode to fix this issue because my version of Xcode did not support my up-to-date iOS version.
I've had the same issue and also had the problem that I wasn't able to connect my device by cable (it popped on and of), so I had to use wifi connection on Xcode.
I was able to see the icon of the app created by Xcode on my iOS device, but whenever I tried to start it, it won't do so giving the "Untrusted Developer" error message.
I fixed this by going to:
Settings > General > VPN & Device Management > Developer App
Here you have to chose the App and consent to trusting it.
I reset the iPhone network settings and it works!
I have the same problem, my solution is update my ios version(15.1 to 15.2 beta)
I tried all the resolvent, nothing worked
restart iOS, Xcode, macOS
clear DeviceSupport, Caches
unpair iphone, change lighting cable
Then I find my ios version(15.1) does not exist in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport.
I try to fix it, but failed.
Finally, I can only update my iOS device to 15.2 beta version, It solved! Xcode is update to beta version too.
My devices original version:
iOS 15.1
Xcode 13.1 (13A1030d)
I'm on Xcode 13.3 and I fixed this by unplugging and plugging the cable between my MacBook Air and my mini iPad 3.
I fixed it by,
Following the steps : Window > Device and Simulator > Select your device and Right Click on it > Unpair after that re-connect your iOS Device then boom... Clean builds and run the app, it will work for you.
Upon solutions aren't working for me. Restart my iPhone then all well done.

dyld_shared_cache_extract_dylibs failed for iPhone XS Max running ios 12.1.2

I am trying to run my app on iPhone XS Max running iOS 12.1.2, but till the end of the build and it returns "dyld_shared_cache_extract_dylibs failed" , i removed the supported files for it and rerun my app and it gives the same error , any suggestions i'm stuck ?????
There is a (temporary) solution I've been using...
Open Devices and Simulators
Remove your device from the list
Tap the + button on the bottom left of the window
Select the device (before tapping Trust on it)
Tap Trust on the device
Profit
For me I still have to do this steps every time I connect the device...
I have both Xcode10.3 and Xcode11.2.1 installed on same machine. Whatever solution I try, it doesn't work with Xcode10.3 and iPhone11. It works like a charm on the latest Xcode though. I think the solution is to switch to the latest Xcode version.
I recently solved this issue by installing Xcode 11.2 and 10.1 alongside each other, and using Xcode 11.2 to build the debugger files. It seems 10.1 can't handle newer versions of iOS and builds the debugger support files incorrectly.
Delete everything under ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/ related to the version of iOS giving you trouble. This is where Xcode saves the debugger support files. Then launch Xcode 11.2 with the phone connected and allow it to build the debugger support. After it has finished, close it and open Xcode 10.1 and it should work.
i tried everything and my solution was go to app store and download again xcode, he is going to updated by self
try Run it in latest Xcode version then try again in the version you want
and try to reboot the mobile device and unpair it and connect it again thats worked for me
BTW thanks #unstablerealtiy

unable to boot the ios simulator XCode 6 iOS 8 [duplicate]

I cannot launch the simulator successfully. Once I launch the IOS Simulator this error appears:
"Unable to boot the IOS Simulator."
Following the IOS Simulator error, I then get an error from Xcode reading:
Unable to run app in Simulator
An error was encountered while running (Domain = DTiPhoneSimulatorErrorDomain, Code = 2)
UPDATE:
This might sound silly but I went to Xcode/preference/Downloads with intentions of seeing a IOS 8.0 Simulator but there was none. Could this be the problem? Am I suppose to have a IOS 8.0 Simulator? If so can someone direct me how to get it? Also, under the "Downloads" tab in Xcode preference I do see IOS 7.0 and 7.1 Simulators and both work fine with Xcode 5.
the trick is, to select the right command line tools!
just select it here
reboot(!) and everything is fine again :-)
Ok It's known problem. Do you see simulators list? If not
Goto Xcode Menu -> Open Developer Tool -> It will open a simulator in your Dock -> click on simulator then go to Simulator Menu: Hardware -> Device -> Manage Devices. Add needed simulators. Always try to run your app with different simulators.someone will work.
Restart your Mac. I just had that exact error after installing Xcode 6 beta 7, literally the only thing I did in response was reboot my Mac and now the iOS 8 simulator is working.
This error is common if you update Xcode without restarting afterwards.
In my case, i reset ios simulator settings fix it.
iOS Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings ...
Open Xcode 6 beta
Goto Window > Devices
Click on the little + sign at the bottom
Add (if missing) all the devices that you want, or delete and recreate if not working.
If anyone of the simulator is not working then you can delete it and then re-create it again in this menu.
I saw the same issue when I installed Xcode 6 beta 6, and deleted beta 4 and beta 5. Apparently, deleting the old betas also deleted the iOS Simulator 8 versions! Putting it back from my Trash solved the issue.
Solution: Don't delete old beta software!
Edit: #Flori's solution worked. Was able to delete the old beta software, and after a complete system reboot, it worked again.
From the xCode 6 pull down menus, Xcode > Open Developer Tool >
iOS Simulator (if you get a pop up error just dismiss it)
Once in the Simulator go to Hardware > Device > Manage Devices.
Delete everything listed under simulator.
Reboot your machine.
After that, navigate back to Manage Devices in the simulator and click the plus to add back your simulators. Then the iOS 8 simulators will show up.
Just unset DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variable in the /etc/launchd.conf or ~/.launchd.conf file. Which you can edit by sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf command. remove the above flag save it by "ZZ" (captial Z) and reboot the system. It works like a charm.
Make sure that path in menu XCode>Preference>Locations point to XCode 6.0 (Restart Xcode after changing them). Then go to menu Window>Devices and add simulator devices you want to use.
Edit: Turns out I was getting my version of the error because I had a file (the "Empty File" type) named "Frameworks" in several of my projects, and this was causing big issues with the iOS 8 simulators. Renaming the file to be anything else, and then doing a Clean Build Folder fixed it right away.
------Deprecated Original Message Below--------
In case this helps anyone -- I was having a similar error on Xcode 6 GM, and tried everything mentioned in these Answers, but the iOS 8 simulators would never run any of my apps (no problems with iOS 7 running from Xcode 6 though).
What did sort of work was creating a new project (new project apps would run in the iOS 8 simulators, but never any luck with existing apps). Copying over files and project settings is no fun, but at least it let me do testing and see if my apps needed fixing for the iOS 8 public release.

I tried everything mentioned above and nothing worked.
Finally the only way to make it work was unsetting DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
How I did this:
Open terminal and typing "sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf"
Changing
"setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"
to
"unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib"

I got this issue when moving from Beta 6 to Beta 7. Very frustrating. I could reset content and settings on any of the iOS 8 simulators. None of my iOS 8 simulators were working at all, just a black screen. I restarted my machine during the process, but I am not sure if it did anything. Initially I had only iOS 8 Simulators. I had to remove and reinstall Xcode6Beta7. I did not get the Install More Components the first time I installed it, I am not sure if that was the missing part. I installed the iOS 7 Simulators from Settings->Downloads because my iOS8 ones were not working. After I had reinstalled and relaunched the simulator, I then had a list of iOS 6,7,& 8 simulators. None of the iOS 8 Simulators were working. I was able to launch the iOS7 simulator and then using the device menu change to an iOS 8 Simulator. Some still did not work, I had to remove them and re-add them in the devices screen.
Remove XCode6Beta from Applications.
Restart Machine (Just in case, this seems to solve some peoples issue completely)
Install XCode6Beta.
Verify the Install Additional Components ran.
Launch Xcode6Beta.
Preferences->General->Change Command Line Tools to Xcode 6.0.
Restart Xcode.
Preferences->Downloads->Download iOS 7 Simulator (If not already downloaded).
Run App on iOS 7 Simulator (Or launch iOS Simulator and switch to iOS 7 device)
If the iOS 7 Simulator is working, Hardware->Devices->Select an iOS 8 simulator.
Delete and recreate any non working iOS 8 Simulators in Window->Devices from Xcode.
I wrestled with this for a bit, with the simulator app reporting that it couldn't find the iOS8 simulator, and suggesting updating in Prefs/Downloads, which didn't work. I tried re-installing Beta 6 twice (without removing all the support files, which would have been next). The initial installation described itself as build 6A280c; a fresh download yielded build 6A280e. No luck.
Eventually, I opened Window -> Devices, and used the "+" button in the lower left to add a new simulator for iPhone 5s, iOS 8, naming it "Fresh 5s". The Schemes popup now displayed three iPhone 5S/iOS 8 options (none with the name I designated, but differentiated by UUIDs); at least one of them worked.
I'm guessing that this feature (collections of arbitrary simulator instances) will be very useful when it's baked. In the meantime, I guess I'll need to manage the list of simulators manually.
Do following steps worked for me:
1. Launch the iOS Simulator and go to iOS Simulator --> Reset Content and Settings...
2. Close all the applications and restart your mac
3. Open Xcode6.0.1 or 6.0 and test the iOS Simulator
Had the same problem after moving from Xcode 6 beta 5 to beta 6, but also for the iOS 7.1 simulator. Restarting my machine seemed to do the job. I did not need to update from Xcode 5.1.1 CLT to Xcode 6.0 CLT.
I tried all of the solutions above, and was still unable to launch the iOS8 Simulator. The iOS7 Simulators all launched fine.
Looking at the Console, I found that the launch was crashing, and the crash log complained about the dynamic library, libimckit.dylib. You can read about that here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5781366?start=0&tstart=0
The quick solution, remove that and its partner library, reboot, and it loads.
Is there anything interesting in ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/CoreSimulator.log?
The "Unable to boot the iOS Simulator." error message is almost always because launchd_crashed because DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES was set to something not compatible with the iOS Simulator runtime. Do you have any crash logs (eg: launchd_sim crashes) in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports? If so, check if they show DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES being set. If that's the case, your options are to either update to an OS X Yosemite host (which will deal with this issue) or unset DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES (likely set in /etc/launchd.conf or ~/.launchd.conf)
Force Quit All the apps including xcode and simulator
Restart MAC
Checking in the "Locations" Xcode preference, I had two items of the same version, one located in the app translocation area (/var/.../AppTranslocation/...). Also I had previously done a manual command line tools install. To resolve this in the end I had to delete /Applications/Xcode.app and remove the manual command line tools install:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Then installed Xcode anew, and rebooted. Boom! Simulator working again.
Reboot your mac os. its working correctly on xcode 11.3.x and mac os 10.14.6.

Xcode Developer Preview: Cannot Run on Device

When trying to run any project in an Xcode Developer Preview (Xcode 5 DP6 in my case), the app is not started and the following error message appears:
Could not launch "" - No such file or directory (/private/var/mobile/Applications/741F0826-E354-4E13-9CC3-0FB3A66E8798/.app)
The solution was very simple in my case, in Terminal just execute
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode5-DP6.app/Contents/Developer/
with the path for the currently used Xcode Developer Preview.
Do not forget to switch back when developing on the previous stable Xcode version again - especially when archiving for AppStore submit.
I faced the same problem, I did following things to sort out my problem:-
1) Changed "don't sign" and "iPhone distribution" to my valid developer provisioning profile in Xcode's build setting.
2) Quit Xcode.
3) Uninstalled App from device.
4) Unplugged device.
5) Plugged in device.
6) Ran Xcode
7) Built and Ran App.
Thats it :)
This has a very simple solution (works on every Xcode so it's not NDA thing):
Kill all Xcode running
Delete the app from device (if there is any), Restart your device and disconnect it (if was connected).
Open organiser in Xcode and check that device is connected and used for development, if not select "use for development"). Device should be on and connected.
Check the signatures are good.
Build& run.
This should work. Let me know if it doesn't.
I worked on this issue for about an hour, trying everything on every post I could find on SO, but nothing worked. I then compared my project settings to another project that did run on iOS and found the issue was MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was set to 10.7 on the iOS build. I share the same project for my iOS and OSX targets for each app I make, so it's easy to see how this happened. I deleted the setting at the project level, added it to the target level for each OSX target, stripped and built the iOS target and it finally ran! Not to say the other solutions are wrong here, there just could be multiple causes.
