I've just installed iOS 11.2 Beta and downloaded the latest Xcode (which is 9.1 - beta 2. 9B46).

But when I try to run the app on the device it says it doesn't have the necessary support files.

So how am I supposed to develop with 11.2 beta if there's no corresponding Xcode yet?

  • I have reached out to the Apple Feedback program in regards to this already. I will let you know as soon as I hear back. – Casey West Oct 30 '17 at 21:53

    The release notes for iOS 11.2 beta state it requires Xcode 9.2 but Apple hasn't posted Xcode 9.2 yet. Looks like a screwup. Give them time (a day?) to fix it. – rmaddy Oct 30 '17 at 22:03
  • and Apple released xcode 9.2! – pingwinator Dec 05 '17 at 08:16
  • I got the same, very angry at apple to not have made sure that we can run curent Xcode on iOS 13.2 deice if Xcode 11.2 was not released yet. – Pascale Beaulac Oct 28 '19 at 21:28

Well you have several options for now:

  • Develop using the simulators while waiting for the Xcode beta to show up

  • Revert back to a non-beta version of iOS (back up your phone!) and use previous versions of Xcode

My guess is the newest Xcode beta will show up either tomorrow or Wednesday so you won’t have to wait too long. I’m in the same boat.

As a temporal solution, you could download Xcode beta 9.2b2 and use device support from that Xcode.

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2\ \(15C5097c\) /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2\ \(15C5097c\)

after that restart Xcode and replug device

  • For me I used the following and then restarted Xcode, then re-plugged in the iPad: `sudo ln -s '/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2 (15C5097c)' '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2 (15C114)'` – Faisal Memon Dec 04 '17 at 14:02

There is a discussion in regards to this on the Apple Developer Forums. As soon as it is resolved I'm sure this post will be updated.

Currently the only option is to use simulators or revert your iPhone.

You need to download the latest version of Xcode-beta.app and use a bash shell script https://gist.github.com/hintoz/e8d60a04890bd864b5a39574c0ee0729 to avoid creating links manually
