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)
