I have XCode 4.6.2, and on my iPhone I now have iOS 6.1.3. When I plug my iPhone into my Mac, XCode doesn't let me select it as an option for testing, as my project settings are to work on 6.1, and the dropdown doesn't have any newer options. I went into preferences, and the only available downloads are past versions of the simulator.
How do I get XCode to allow me to test using 6.1.3?
Open Organizer from Xcode,in that devices, find your device and click the option to use for development

I am actually trying to run my application in 4.3 simulator from xCode 4.6. I copy the sdk for simulator 4.3 at the path, it builds successfully but cant run the application in simulator. So now what can I do to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance
If you are using Mac OS 10.7.x and have upgraded to Xcode 4.6, then you could have or download simulator 4.3 version. But, if you are using Mac OS 10.8.x, then you can not have simulator 4.3 version. The reason is 4.3 simulator on Mac OS 10.8.x crashed a lot, so Apple has removed that.
Check this link:- http://iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/111568-what-happened-to-the-ios-4-3-simulator-in-xcode-4-6.html
Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads and make sure the "Target SDK" you have selected in your project is in fact installed under the Downloads windows. For me this magically was uninstalled. Once i installed the SDK that my app was using, all worked again
Also Check
Xcode>Preferences> click Downloads tab. The supported simulators are in there.
Please try this and let me inform any problem still exists.
Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components
There you can see the list of simulators (v4.3 also there). Click on install against the simulator that you want to install.
After Installation, restart Xcode
Go to the project info and set your build target to iOS Version 4.3
Now the simulator version 4.3 will be listed in your schema selector.
Cheers :)
Note: If you are using Mac 10.8, you cannot have 4.3 simulator
I have upgraded my iPhone to iOS 6, however I am currently on Xcode 4.2 (on Snow Leopard). Now I am getting this error message:
The version of iOS on “xxx xxx” does not match any of the versions of
iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK.
Please restore the device to a version of the iOS listed below, or
update to the latest version of the iOS.
Is it possible to restore my iPhone to older version say 5.1 or some how make my Xcode to support/recognize iOS6?
I followed the following steps, to resolve my issue by making Xcode to support iOS 6:
1.First download Xcode 4.5 .dmg file from Here (You would need developer account).
2.Then mount this image and use "Show Package Contents" from context menu.
3.Then copy the following folder
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/6.1
(10A403)
to your mac's following folder (This path may differ from mac to mac based on its version. On Snow Leopard you may find the Developer folder in Finder under PLACES section, and probably on Lion, you have to right click the Xcode.app and have to use Show Package Contents):
Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
4.Similarly copy the iOS 6 SDK folder from following directory:
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk
to your mac's following folder
Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
5.Also copy version.plist from Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform folder to your mac's Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform folder.
6.Re-start Xcode and re-connect the device(s).
Bingo !! now Xcode supports recognizes iOS6 device(s) and even I am able to run and debug my app (built for older SDKs) on my iPhone with iOS6 (I am not sure about iPhone 6.0 simulator though).
However, answer to How to restore iPhone to older version say 5.1 is still pending.
You cant debug iO6 device in Xcode 4.2. iO6 device debugs only in Xcode 4.5 (latest one). And most importent for installing Xcode 4.5, in your machine must have at least Lion Operating System.For efficiently debugging of iOS device, You must upgrade your OS.
I had the exactly same problem !
Downgrading iOS 6 in your iPhone is not officially supported by Apple anymore :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4533316?start=0&tstart=0
What works for me was to install Lion in an external HD USB, upgrade Xcode to the latest version and upgrade the Provisioning Profiles in my Apple Developer account for this environment.
Upgrade to Xcode 4.5 (and OSX mountain lion). No previous version of Xcode supports iOS 6. You can also check if you can restore your phone using a previous version of iOS by getting the .ipsw file and option-clicking on "restore" button when selecting your device on iTunes.
When I click my iPhone into the USB port, I hear the clicking sound and on my project it shows checking dd symbols and a little progress bar appears. But, when I click on the drop down list, upper right hand corner, my device does not show up, still says any iOS device. When I click debug, a box comes up saying xcode cannot run using using the selected device.
"No provisioned iOS devices are available with a compatible iOS version. Connect an iOS device with a recent enough version of iOS to run your application or choose an iOS simulator as the destination"
I checked to see what sdk version my project was using, it is 5.1.
On the organizer it says my iPhone is using software version 5.0.1.1,
Questions,
Do I have to upgrade my iPhone to 5.1?
I went to iTunes to upgrade it and they only had a option for 5.1.1, if I upgrade it to 5.1.1, will it still work with my xcode which has sdk 5.1 not 5.1.1
Any idea how to get my iPhone to work with the new projects created?
Also, the old projects are using sdk 5.1 and they run fine, could it be a different problem?
Just set the "Deployment Target" for targets and project to your device version.
To do this, click the project in the navigator -> info for project and summary for targets. There you find the deployment target.
Hope this helps
Try run a any XCode 3. And open him Organizer. Then will show a question about Collecting device. Press and reconnect a device. Must help. This helps in my case :)
I'm unable to run simulator for testing iPhone3GS below version of 4.0. I have built my app with xcode4 and now, I want to test it how it works in iPhone3GS. I have read that I should install previous version of xcode, so I have installed xcode3. My IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set to 3.1 in projects settings (xcode3). But still I can't see any iphone versions below 4.0 in simulator select list. What am I missing?
Well first of, the latest version of Xcode 3 only comes with the iOS 4.* SDK so there is no iOS 3 simulator.
You will need to installe a version of Xcode 3 with iOS 3.* SDK to get the 3.* simulator, but you can only get them in de bundle version of Xcode.
What I do is test my apps on a device running iOS 3.1.2 with Xcode 4 and dropping support for iOS 3.* in new projects (94% of my user have switch to iOS 4).
in this case you have to click the target section of the xcode and thre you have to chage the setting >build>latest ios.
You can make and add hoc build and install it on an real device that run the desired os version.
I have installed the new 3.0 SDK, but when I start up Xcode, I don't see an option to build for "Device - iPhone OS 3.0" or "Simulator - iPhone OS 3.0"
The Xcode About box says I am running: 3.1.2
Is there something else I have to do?
I think you need to upgrade to Xcode 3.1.3. I have the latest version and that's what my About box reads.
If you are sure you downloaded the latest version, perhaps you installed in to a different location?
If you are using an existing project you may have to tell your project to build to the 3.0 targets. I didn't have to do this for any of my projects but ...
Under the Deployment section of your project properties you should see:
iPhone OS Deployment Target - (change this to use iPhone OS 3.0)
You can also check that the Architectures section has the Base SDK set to 3.0.
This happens quite often when downloading Apple's sample code projects which are targeted for iOS 3.x but you've got iOS 4.x.
To show Simulator option go to Project Info window -> General tab -> Base SDK for All Configurations - choose Latest iOS.
If it doesn't appear straight away, close and reopen Xcode.
This is what worked for me:
I clicked on the box (where I expected iPhone Simulator to be shown), right clicked manage scheme. After that deleted all schemes, and in similar way, created a new scheme. It automatically produced all simulators including the ones for devices.
