Xcode - physical iOS - unsupported OS version (iOS 16) (cannot launch on real device)


After updating OS version on my iPhone to iOS 16, I got message in Xcode telling that the version install on the physical device is unsupported, hence I cannot launch the app on that device :(


Solution

  • I hadn't have my Xcode updated. This is what I had to do:

    1. Go to AppStore
    2. Search for Xcode
    3. Click on Update

    In case you cannot launch properly a simulator from the previous versions, or it doesn't exist after updating Xcode, then, in the opened Xcode do next:

    1. click on simulator icon (top-middle)
    2. press on Add Additional Simulators
    3. give a name to your new simulator and choose one from the list Hope that works for you as well)
