Hello, I've been using Xcode 4.3.1 and 15 Beta with my iOS 16.5 and 16.6.1 and no issues occurred.

Yesterday, I got a prompt of Xcode 15.0 Release and I put my Xcode on upgrade, at the same time I noticed that iOS also says that 17.0 is available. I upgraded both.

Now my device is not detected on Xcode, it keeps saying Waiting to connect to XXXX iPhone.

Also says, Previous preparation error: The tunnel connection failed while the system tried to connect to the device. I am using the same WIFI on MAC that i am using on Iphone.

A temporary not so much feasible workaround that i found is:

Unpair phone
Disable WIFI put phone on LTE/Mobile Data
Connect via usb cable and MAC detects it and connects to it
But now it only works in Xcode and Android studio installs app but can't run/debug it giving error that run it in Xcode.
As soon as wifi is on, phone gets dc from Xcode as well, (even if USB is connected)

Important*: Connect via network checkbox is gryed out and is checked forever.

What i tried till now:

Install all types of Xcode, 14.3.1 (says missing string install an updated version of xcode, but it detects device in all modes just gives this error and doesn't let build anything)
Reset Xcode to default/ Delete dereived data/Delete all folders that are crucial in that ~/Library/.../xcode folder i.e. Archieves/products/device suport
Netstat/kill usb/kill usbmuxd and what not
Put phone on hotspot, connect mac on hotspot try debug (fails)

So, tried everything available on internet and yet still my real device on iOS 17 is not ready so that i can debug in Android studio, while in Xcode on same wifi even with USB cable it doesn't work.

Any suggestions??

Disabling "Multipath Networking" in Settings>Developer on the iPhone did the trick for me. Running iOS 17.1 (21B74) and XCode Version 15.0.1 (15A507)

This solved it for me. Developer Mode was off on my new iPhone. The phone I had migrated from was running iOS 15, which predates the Developer Mode setting.

I'm pleased to say that the issue is finally solved by upgrading to macOS Sonoma! Works like a charm! Others have reported this too on other online forums.

Spent the last 2 days trying to solve this problem and tried everything from the threads on the Apple Developer forums. Only this solution worked! Disabling VPN and all the other tips didn't help for me.

I also had this problem, and I had Developer Mode turned on. But after upgrading to iOS 17 my phone wouldn't connect to XCode 15.0.1. I turned off Developer Mode and turned it back on. After following all of the prompts. After the restart of my phone, it connected to XCode.

Same issue as above on iPad, but solved it baby:

Turning Developer Mode on/off.
Clear Trusted Computers on iPad

Rebooted both MacOS and iPadOS.

Same Issue here. Can't get it to work on my corporate mac with VPN but works and pairs fine on my personal mac. Using the latest versions of MacOS (Sonoma), Xcode (15.1) and iOS (17.3). Any help/direction on this is appreciated!

It is really incredible that there are hundreds and hundreds of users that face the same problem and the fact that one user solves by one method and another solves in other one but most of the does not resolve at all is not normal at all.

Yesterday magically at a certain moment I was able to connect Mac and iPhone and deposited my programme on the phone. I have restarted completely the phone to factory settings and now there is no way to get connection between Mac and iPhone. It remains eternally in Prteparingfor development

Would it be possible to get from Apple a definitive solution for this long lasting issue ?

Thanks

After trying all the suggestions multiple times, none worked. It's like with the VPN on it doesn't even see the phone. I use Nord VPN. I haven't tried another VPN. But turning the VPN off makes it work again every time.
