“iPhone” is busy: Making the device ready for development

Same issue here. My iPhone 7 is running on iOS 15.7.5 and Xcode 14.2.

Same issue. iPhone 7 iOS 15.7.5 and Xcode 14.3

Ugh literally same. Why has this not been addressed yet. I've followed solutions on stack overflow and nothing has worked

I fixed it by:

1. Going to Window > Devices and Simulators, Clicking the device and checking 'Connect via Network'
2. Unplugging the device
3. Quitting Xcode
4. Plugging the device back in
5. Relaunching Xcode
6. Going back to Window > Devices and Simulators and verifying the check for 'Connect via Network' was still on
7. Run

I solved my problem by turning off and on the developer Mode in the device's privacy and security again.

I'm also experiencing the same issue with my iPhone 7 on iOS 15.7.7. Despite my attempts to fix it, the problem persists. It's quite frustrating. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

I was able to solve this using the StackOverflow question mentioned by @Claude31 below. In my case, I opened "Devices and Simulators", then unpaired the device, closed Xcode, opened Xcode, and re-paired the device.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I had to "Erase All Content and Settings" on my testing iPhone. NOTHING else worked.

I have same issue iPhone 7 - iOS 15.8 - XCode 15.0.1. Nothing works

I this apple's twisted way of saying I need to buy a new iphone if I want to keep developing for ios? after the update to ios 15.8.2 I can not get the device connected to xcode anymore, I am 10 minutes away from finishing a job and getting my app published, no way to downgrade to older version ios (without jailbrake). the really sucks!!!

Same problem with iphone 7 plus too. This is so annoying.

Guys.. in my case exact same problem has been solved by fixing hardware problems on my iphone 7. iOS 15.8.3 . The issue with my hardware was preventing it to be connected.

Hi, may I know what kind of hardware issue you have encountered?
