iOS 9 not supported on Xcode 6.3

Question

I downloaded the iOS 9 beta for the iPhone 5s and wanted to test an application that I have finished but now it says that my iPhone is an ineligible device. Is there a way I can still run apps on my iPhone without downloading the Xcode 7 beta?

Answer 1

You can RUN App on iOS 9 device using Xcode 6, But firstly you need to build your app on XCode 7, after that it will support on XCode 6. I dont know the reason. I have checked this on My Mac.

[EDIT] Steps

1. Build the project on Xcode 7 while Xcode 6 is opened on the same project.
2. Disconnect the device and reconnect it.(Now u can run ur app on XCode6, It may take little time to load device)

When i have checked iOS9 with Xcode6, Bugs are very less. So i have plan to support iOS9 with XCode6 for quick release. Later i will do for XCode7.

Answer 2

You can build to an iOS 9.0 or 9.1 beta device from Xcode 6.4, not out of the box though. Download Xcode 7.0 and/or Xcode 7.1 beta dmg, and copy the

Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/9.0 (13A340)

from Xcode 7.0 or:

.../9.1 (13B5110e)

from Xcode 7.1 beta folders to corresponding folder in your Xcode 6.x. After restarting Xcode iOS 9.0/9.1 devices will no longer be marked an ineligible.

Answer 3

If you installed iOS 9 beta onto your iPhone, then you cannot develop on it without Xcode 7.

However, this is not a completely terrible thing; you can readily have both Xcode 7 and Xcode 6 on the same computer.

(What you cannot do, according to Apple, is revert your iPhone back to iOS 8 - but there are some comments below from people who were able to do it.)

Answer 4

Install the latest XCode. Keep both versions on your Mac. Give Keep Both when installing the new XCode and do not give Replace present XCode during the installation.

Go to application, right click XCode --> show package contents. Copy the latest version from the path:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

and copy to the Xcode you are currently working in the same path. Find the screen shots below and start working.

Happy coding.
