Can't deploy to iPhone (not available, please reconnect the device)

I've already waisted 3 days trying to resolve this issue. I was supposed to submit a release now I can't because it won't compile to iOS 14.2 devices.

[SOLVED}

Restarting the phone worked for me. Xcode 12.2 beta 3 + iOS 14.2.

Nothing is working for me. Xcode 12.0.1, iPhone 14.2, OS Catalina 10.15.7. I saw earlier where someone suggested changing the deployment target. I did that with no effect. I am now effectively out of the programming game. Actually for me, when I can program, it's just for fun. Any other suggestions. Is there a way to back up to an earlier Xcode version? Also, I am on a MacBook Pro, but with not enough available disk to update Xcode.

OK here is the solution I will simplify for all noobs and dummies out there(like myself) :P...

1. ) open Xcode pair your device

2. ) Click "Window" Tab at top and "Devices & Simulators"

3. ) Check to see if the error you're having is indeed you being upgraded to 14.2 and not on 14.1 anymore.

4. ) If you do have an error saying "upgrade to Xcode version that supports 14.2" then follow the steps in this video below

1. ) Restart ALL devices

2. )Reconnect & Retry! :)

Explanation: iOS 14.2 is the new system update, it's BIG and is a release to prep for their silicon MacBooks and BigSur Xcode DOES have a Release Candidate, in layman's terms a Release that is being suggested for release and has not been FULLY released to the store yet, it'll work, there will be bugs and it's a PAIN to install it(not to mention time consuming...). So I digress if this is your issue then I highly suggest downgrading your device to iOS14.1 and wait a few more weeks or a month for them to have everything finalized with newer and better updates.


Developing for iOS is ALWAYS a pain!

Also to update Xcode you need slightly above 42-43GB to download but after you download it you SHOULD still have room to download back your files you had to move/delete, also if you haven't installed Xcode in a long time you may forget like I did that it takes FOREVER to install and is not actually getting stuck like so many people tend to think due to its slow @** process.

Same as everyone... Can't run app on new iOS 14.2, and I will lose several hours to install Xcode 12.2 RC...
Why don't you release Xcode 12.1.1 to make developers life easier?

iOs 14.2 + XCode 12.2 Beta 4 - Still doesn't work. Same problem. Restarting Mac, devices, nothing helps.

as reported by others: trying to deploy to iPhone 12 Pro

"iOs 14.2 + XCode 12.2 Beta 4 Restarting Mac, devices, nothing helps."

Apple pulled the same thing a few iOS updates ago, and again didn't warn anybody.

Talk about disregard for developers, who may have a critical deadline for a release.

VisualStudio is able to run Apps on 14.2, XCode not. What a shame.

Same problem with Xcode 12.1 and iOS 14.2, thanks Apple, we are blocked

"Same problem with Xcode 12.1 and iOS 14.2, thanks Apple, we are blocked" - Same here. Takes the joy away from implementing the new idea I just had.

Same problem here, Xcode 12.1, iPhone X iOS 14.2. Feels to me Apple software is slowly declining over the years...

same issue. ridiculous.

Rebooting the phone worked
