Currently I'm using macOS Sierra with Xcode 8 installed. I just updated my device to iOS 11, which is my main development device. I can't build the apps I'm working on anymore because Xcode 8 has no iOS 11 Development Disk Image. Is there any way of obtaining the image (without installing Xcode 9) or I'll have to go back to iOS 10 in order to build to my device?

Xcode 9 exists for Sierra. (Apple says: "Xcode 9.0 requires a Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later.") – Phillip Mills Jun 06 '17 at 18:35

Oh, I think you're right. I've tried to install it on a way older Macbook. It seems that it is not running on Sierra. Sorry. Still, is there any way of obtaining the just the developer disk image from somewhere? – robertsan Jun 06 '17 at 18:37

Apple doesn't support that. – Xiaochen Du Jun 06 '17 at 20:04

This may solve your problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44383054/4146322
On another note, it is nearly impossible to revert to iOS 10 once you install iOS 11. Apple has incorporated checks for this at a deep level to prevent people installing older and possibly unsecured versions. You can read up on this at Apple's iOS10 Security Documentation in the second paragraph of page 6.

Download developer disk image from Here. and copy that two folders to below mentioned path.
First open spotlight search and go to your xcode and from right click ->
Show package content Contents -> Developer -> Platforms -> iPhoneOS.platform -> DeviceSupport
