I am using Mac OS in VMWare for iOS app development.
After updating the OS and Xcode, the iOS device isn't available so I cannot test it.
When the device is plugged in to the PC, the device appears as connected in VMware and marked with green point. But, it does not appear in Xcode's devices.
I am using Mac OS 10.11. Does anybody have ideas?

Start VMware Fusion, select macOS and power on the VM. Sign in to macOS with your login credentials. In the main menu select VM > Removable Devices > Apple iPhone > Connect (Disconnect from Host). If everything is fine, iTunes will automatically open on macOS and check iPhone.
You could install OS X in a VMware virtual machine, then install Xcode in it, and then run the iOS simulator there, but why not run it in the native Mac environment? It would run much better there. Important Note: I ran a quick test, and the iOS simulator would not start up in a VMware guest OS X virtual machine.
To boot and run macOS in a VM, you must first install a macOS image onto the new VM. Installing macOS in a new machine requires the following steps: Obtain a restore image. Set up a compatible VM configuration.
I had the same issue, but was quite easy to solve. Follow the next steps:
1) In the Virtual Machine (VMWare) settings:
2) Add the device into the list of allowed development devices in your Apple Developer's account. Without that step there is no way to use your device in Xcode.
Next some instructions: Register a single device
