I installed xcode 7.3.1 and started a new project with single page template, but when i try to run it it says that "build only device cant run the application and i should add new device or simulator".
when i go to "window->devices" there is only one device and it mymac system, when i hit + button and add simulator i have ios version 9.3 and after selecting the device type and giving it a name and hitting the create button, nothing happens.
/Library/Developer folder dose not exist.
Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2
Just to be sure, i uninstalled xcode 7 using cleanmymac3 and restarted system and installed xcode 6.4, it installed successfully and had multiple simulators already defined and a test project successfully run in the simulator. Then i installed xcode 7 witch told me that a older version already exist and if i want to keep them both or replace the older and i choose to replace.Then started a new project with xcode 7 and it was still the same no simulator and i am still not able to add any.
any solution? I am a xcode and MAC noobi ...
Try to Update your OSX to latest version i.e. 10.11.5 because XCode 7.3.1 requires updates OSX / macos
hop it will help you
Ok, it seems iOS 9.3 simulators are not compatible with AMD cpus :D (go figures) or that my MAC's AMD kernel was not good or ..., anyway the same file installs the components correctly with Intel cpu. poor AMD ...

I'm developing a React Native application that I test and build on a real iPhone 7 using Xcode. However, the iPhone recently automatically updated to iOS 12.2, which requires Xcode version 10.2. The problem is that I can't update Xcode because my Mac is running on High Sierra 10.13.6 and is too old to get the Mojave update (2011).
So the question is: Is there any way I can still use the Mac to run the app on my real device, or am I forced to use the emulators/buy a new Mac from now on? Most importantly, is there I way I can still get the Mojave update on my old Mac?
You can download the support files that you want from this repo
Close your xcode, right click on xcode ->Show Package Contents->Contents->Developer->Platforms->iPhoneOS.platform->DeviceSupport, and unzip your file there.
Restart xcode and voilà, your device is supported.
check this for more info.
There is some trick for you to install Mojavae and so Xcode 10.2.
I hope that can help you, and think to deactivate the auto update.
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.
I am not an IOS developer. I have a Cordova app with two small errors on IOS6. The app has been compiled in Xcode 7.2 on El Capitan usign the following configuration:
The app compiles and works ok on an IPhone 3GS device running IOS 6.1.6; however, our customer has found some errors on an IPhone 4 running IOS 6.0.
I don't have any device like that. I tried to install an old version of the simulator that crashed my XCode so I had to reinstall it.
Then I decided to try on a Mountain Lion virtual machine running XCode 4.5. I copied the project and tried to execute it to find this error:
Failed to load project at '/Users/holamundo2/Desktop/IOS_original/isosmed/platforms/ios/holamundo2.xcodeproj', incompatible project version. I don't know how to make the project "compatible".
Finally, I even tried wildly to copy from the simulator in El capitan to the simulator in the Virtual machine. Obviously, it didn't work either.
So I have two questions:
1. How can I change an Xcode project created from XCode 7 to one I can run from my virtual machine?
2. Is there any other way to copy/paste one simulator image to another in order to run the application?
Current setup:
iPhone 6+ updated to iOS 8.2
iMac running Mavericks (10.9) with Xcode 6.2
Deployment target set to 8.2
When I connect the iPhone, it shows up as ineligible.
Also, it shows this warning:
I've tried:
to reboot both iPhone & iMac -> Not solved
to manually select iPhone from: Product > Destination > Ineligible Devices
Many other answers in this question, but all for problems using Xcode 6.3, not 6.2.
I know I can solve this:
upgrading to Yosemite & installing Xcode 6.3
using an iPhone running 8.2
But is there any possibility that mounting the Xcode 6.3 DMG and copying some libs / symlinking something it will work?
Just copy the folder DeviceSupport/8.3 from Xcode 6.3 to Xcode 6.2.
Details:
Download Xcode 6.2 and 6.3, install as /Applications/Xcode_6.2.app and /Applications/Xcode_6.3.app (or similar names)
In both installations, there's a folder Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
In Xcode 6.2, this folder contains packages for iOS 8.2 and many lower versions, but not for 8.3.
In Xcode 6.3, this folder also contains a package for iOS 8.3. In my case, the folder is called 8.3 (12F69)
Copy the iOS 8.3 package from Xcode 6.3 to Xcode 6.2 (this command is one line, of course):
cp -r '/Applications/Xcode_6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/8.3 (12F69)' '/Applications/Xcode_6.2.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport'
Or even better, create a link:
ln -s '/Applications/Xcode_6.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/8.3 (12F69)' '/Applications/Xcode_6.2.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport'
Now restart Xcode 6.2 and connect your device through USB. Xcode should allow you to test apps on it.
Diego Freniche's solution (copying the whole iPhoneOS.platform folder) was a great help, but when I ran my app from Xcode 6.2, it looked slightly different than it did when I deployed an ipa file on the phone (buttons in wrong positions, status bar display wrong). I guess Xcode got confused and built the app as if it was targeted at a different iOS version.
With this solution (only copy one folder in DeviceSupport), it looks like the app works exactly as it is supposed to. I'll let you know if I encounter problems, but I haven't seen any so far.
A little progress, but this is a WIP.
Looks like in Yosemite Xcode 6.2 works correctly with 8.3 devices. Need to test on Mavericks
Testing with Xcode 6.2 in Yosemite (need to test also in Mavericks, any feedback would be appreciated)
Go to your Xcode 6.2 folder and rename
/Applications/Xcode-6.2 copia.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
into
/Applications/Xcode-6.2 copia.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform.old
Mount your Xcode 6.3 DMG, install it
Copy from Xcode 6.3 this folder:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform
inside your Xcode 6.2 folder.
you'll probably find an error telling you rootuser does not own the simulator / OS Platform folder. To solve that just open Terminal, then:
$ cd /Applications/Xcode6.2.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms
$ sudo chown -R root iPhoneSimulator.platform/
$ sudo chown -R root iPhoneOS.platform/
now you can run your app inside your iOS 8.3 device from Xcode 6.2 but you have no simulators in the target tdestination menu
UPDATE: I'm getting weird errors while ibtool tries to compile the storyboards:
/Users/dfreniche/Desktop/Test/Test/Base.lproj/Main.storyboard: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.InterfaceBuilder error 2001.)
So finally give up and update to Yosemite. If there's any new info on this, please share.
Had the same problem with connecting iOS8.3 devices to Xcode 6.2 on Mavericks. Ok on a machine at work running Xcode 6.4 on Yosemite. Software update on the Mavericks machine doesn't offer any higher version. Looking at the specs of Xcode 6.4 (and presumably 6.3 of the original question) says it requires OS X 10.10 (i.e. Yosemite). So, whether or not you can hack around it, the behaviour you/we are seeing on Mavericks is what Apple intends.
I have the same issue and I don't want to just use the lastest version of XCode for the need of maintaining my old projects. I end up with installing two versions XCode(6.2 and 6.3) to solve this problem. Here is what I did.
Download XCode6.2 install package from apple site
Upgrade the existed XCode6.2 to x6.3
Open my project on XCode6.3 (this time the device can be recognized by XCode, and I think XCode6.3 might have done some updates to your project.)
Close my project, re-install XCode6.2, there will be a prompt saying I have a newer version and if I want to keep both. Click Yes. Then I have two versions of XCode.
After all those steps done, I can finally open my project and use my device in XCode6.2. Hopefully it can help someone.
XCODE 6.3 is out.. It solved my problem.. If you have Yosemite, you can download the 6.4 beta version
I recently upgrade iPad to iOS 5.1.1. Organizer prompted "the Xcode can not find the software and image to the install this version."
"Could not support development."
The Xcode 4.2 supports up to SDK 5.0.
The Xcode 4.3.3 supports up to the SDK 5.1, but does not support SDK 5.1.1, Is that right?
So there is no way to test on 5.1.1 device, isn't it?
p.s.
I am working on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Xcode 4.2. According to this method I has copied "5.1 (9B176)" to the corresponding folder.
For testing on iOS 5.1 you need Mac OS 10.7 Lion and Xcode 4.3. iOS 5.1 support is only available with Xcode 4.3 so you cannot test on a 5.1 device using earlier versions.
SugarMEmE, just a thought, since u need to copy it manually, u need standalone iOS5.1.1sdk. I checked Xcodes4.2.x up to Xcode4.5, they do not have iOS5.1.1, just 5.1 and then 6.0. No intermediates. So if somebody has a Lion w Xcode4.2 or higher, that can download those intermediates automatically, you technically just could copy it from there.
Hei, just did it. You need to find a file iPad1,1_5.1.1_9B206_restore.ipsw say here: http://mytopfiles.com/other/file/iPad1,1_5-1-1_9B206_Restore/589434.htm
It was on my other Mac (that has Lion and Xcode 4.3) in Library\iTunes\iPad Software Updates\
I just copied it on my Mac (Snow Leopard w Xcode4.2) in the same Library\iTunes\iPad Software Updates.
Image immediately showed up in Xcode Organizer Library Software Images.
And right away I was able to build on my iPad1 with iOS5.1.1
Logically, if you need it for iPad2 you would look for iPad2,1_5.1.1_9B206_restore.ipsw http://mytopfiles.com/other/file/iPad2,1_5-1-1_9B206_Restore/589852.htm etc, I guess.
Regards,
B
PS after all, u do not need to pay for upgrade to Lion yet.
You can generally link to the DeviceSupport folder for a similar OS version.
I just did this for 5.1.1 and it worked:
sudo ln -s 5.1 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1.1
