I'm looking for more information on the message below. Xcode 9 seems to be hanging for a couple minutes already...
How can I tell Xcode 9 to quickly recognize my previously used device updated to iOS 11?
.Alex’s iPhone is busy: Preparing debugger support for .Alex’s iPhone
Xcode will continue when .Alex’s iPhone is finished.

Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application. You'll see Xcode install the app and then attach the debugger.
Tap the name of the developer profile under the Enterprise App heading to establish trust for this developer. Then you see a prompt to confirm your choice. After you trust this profile, you can manually install other apps from the same developer and open them immediately.
Solution 1: Patiently wait for 10 to 15 minutes. Have a tea or roam around ;-) Solution 2: Disconnect device from the system. Restart both iPhone and Xcode and then rebuild again. Click on plus button (+) present in bottom-left corner. This will show the device connected to system. Click on Next button.
“iPhone”: is busy: Making the device ready for development Xcode will continue when “iPhone” is finished. Do you have anything to ask about the message? iPhone 7 is busy: Making iPhone 7 ready for development Xcode will continue when iPhone 7 is finished.
Check if you have connected your device to a fast-enough USB port, as this tip suggests. Wait till Xcode finishes "preparing for debugging". If it doesn't finish in a few seconds or minutes, keep waiting. DO NOT remove any folder as some tips may suggest.
I believe all it's doing is to load in crash logs/symbols/etc.... same as what happens every time you update the OS on your iDevice. Solution 1: Patiently wait for 10 to 15 minutes. Have a tea or roam around ;-) Solution 2: Disconnect device from the system. Restart both iPhone and Xcode and then rebuild again.
There are multiple solutions for this:
Solution 1: Patiently wait for 10 to 15 minutes. Have a tea or roam around ;-)
Solution 2: Disconnect device from the system. Restart both iPhone and Xcode and then rebuild again.
Solution 3:
Go to Windows → Devices and Simulators (Shortcut key: cmd+shift+2)
You’ll see iPhone device connected to system with message
iPhone is busy: Preparing debugger support for iPhone
Click on plus button (+) present in bottom-left corner.
This will show the device connected to system. Click on Next button.
Thereafter you’ll see ‘device setup was successful’. Click on Done button.
Solution 3 worked for me!
Solution 4:
Unpair your device and then pair it again. Thereafter follow Step 3.
