I’ve been trying to pick up a little Swift programming and getting myself more familiar with Xcode. I have a couple of basic projects that will run on the simulator but I want to actually try these apps on my phone. I went through the pairing process and keep getting a “Failed to prepare the device for development” error. Things I’ve tried:
- Making sure the latest version of iOS is on my phone
- Making sure the latest version of Xcode is installed on my iMac
- Restarting both devices
- Switching out the USB<->lightning cable
- Connecting wirelessly
- Resetting location and privacy settings on my phone
Same error persists. What I’m running:
- iPhone 13 Pro; iOS version 16.4.1
- Late 2015 27" iMac; MacOS Monterey v12.6.6
- Xcode version 14.2 (14C18)
…I have considered that perhaps my iMac is just too old (would that be a reason?), I’m waiting to see what happens at WWDC before I make any upgrade decisions.
