Debugging on 13.4 from Xcode 11.3

In the past, if my phone's OS was newer than the supported OS on the version of Xcode I was debugging with, I would copy the appropriate folder from a new version of XCode's DeviceSupport folder into my Xcode's DeviceSupport folder and then I was able to debug on device. In my current position, I don't have the requisite permissions to perform this operation, yet to my surprise, I am able to debug my 13.4 device from Xcode 11.3. Is this a documented change in the behavior of Xcode? Also, sometimes, but not always the 13.4 simulators show up in Xcode 11.3, which is also weird, is anyone else seeing this behavior?

>when did Xcode start supporting debugging on a newer version of iOS


Such incremental jumps aren't unusual - xcode has been downloading symbols from devices with slightly higher iOS versions for a while now. I think that's all you're seeing in this example.

The project you're using....what is the Deployment OS setting?
