iPhone is not available. Please reconnect the device. / iOS 14.2 - Xcode 12.1

Question

I just updated my iPhone to iOS 14.2.

When I want to launch an app on the device from Xcode, I now keep seeing this:

I also just updated Xcode to Version 1

Answer 1

• Go to my Github repo iOS 14.2 Device Support File and download 14.2.zip file directly and after unzip it

• And just copy and paste unzipped folder by path:

  Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
  

• Restart the Xcode

That's all. You can build and go on your project.

Why we have done these steps?: Because Xcode 12.1 doesn’t include support for 14.2 so we implemented its device support files for 14.2.
