A collection of Xcode iPhoneOS DeviceSupport files covering iOS versions 6.0 through 17.0, plus a shell script to install them automatically. It helps developers debug apps on physical iOS devices whose versions their installed Xcode lacks support files for.
Use cases
- debug an app on a physical iPhone running an iOS version my Xcode doesn't support
- download iOS 16.6 DeviceSupport files for Xcode
- install iOS device support files via terminal script
- run an iOS 17 device with Xcode 14 using the workaround
- avoid downloading a whole new Xcode just to test on an older iOS device
When to choose
- you need to debug on a real device with an iOS version newer or older than your Xcode supports
- you want a quick scripted install of missing DeviceSupport files
- you maintain apps across many iOS versions and multiple Xcode installs
When to avoid
- you only debug on simulators
- you can simply upgrade Xcode to the version matching your device
- you need watchOS or tvOS support files (separate repos exist)
