I was developing an application with iOS 7, and I just updated to the beta of iOS 8. I downloaded Xcode 6 beta and now when I plug my phone in, it lists my phone under "Ineligible devices" and won't let me develop on it. Why is this?

4I agree this question should be re-opened. I also had this problem and I have a solution I would like to post: Restarting my Mac and my iPhone fixed the issue. – NateJC Sep 29 '14 at 17:17

In my case I had to reattach device and when it asks press "Trust this computer", then my device appears available again in xCode – Maksym Gontar Oct 31 '14 at 19:20

This can happen when your device is ahead of the max iOS version for that version of XCode. Upgrade XCode to fix. – Andrew Bennett Dec 01 '15 at 00:28

I just had the same issue. What fixed it for me was changing the Deployment Target (though in my case i went from 8 to 7).

6I restarted my phone and Mac. This worked for me. You should not have to change the deployment target to install your app on an iOS 8 device. – josephap Sep 03 '14 at 15:33

3Also had this issue. Restarting my Macbook was what finally fixed it for me. – André Morujão Sep 03 '14 at 17:38

Try this. Go to Menu: Product > Destination and select your device. Though it says your device is ineligible, it will still allow you to select it, and building to it will work. – Karthi Apr 14 '15 at 06:42
