iOS 11.2 beta released, but not a corresponding Xcode beta

Question

I've just installed iOS 11.2 Beta and downloaded the latest Xcode (which is 9.1 - beta 2. 9B46).

But when I try to run the app on the device it says it doesn't have the necessary support files.

So how am I supposed to develop with 11.2 beta if there's no corresponding Xcode yet?

Answer 1

Well you have several options for now:

• Develop using the simulators while waiting for the Xcode beta to show up

• Revert back to a non-beta version of iOS (back up your phone!) and use previous versions of Xcode

My guess is the newest Xcode beta will show up either tomorrow or Wednesday so you won’t have to wait too long. I’m in the same boat.

Answer 2

As a temporal solution, you could download Xcode beta 9.2b2 and use device support from that Xcode.

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2\ \(15C5097c\) /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.2\ \(15C5097c\)

after that restart Xcode and replug device
