## What it is
A collection of iOS device support files for Xcode, covering iOS 8 through 14, with a Python deploy script that installs them into Xcode.app. It lets developers debug apps on physical devices running iOS versions not bundled with their Xcode.

## Use cases
- fix 'could not locate device support files' error in Xcode
- debug iPhone running older iOS version with Xcode
- install missing iOS device support files into Xcode
- deploy device support files for iOS 12 or 13
- support old iOS devices in Xcode development

## When to choose
- Xcode complains it cannot locate device support files for a connected device
- you need to test or debug on a device with an older iOS version

## When to avoid
- you only develop for the latest iOS versions bundled with current Xcode
- you need support files for iOS versions newer than 14

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: xcode, ios-device-support, apple, debugging, macos
