preparing iPad hangs

I have Xcode 16 and iPadOS 18.0 I am trying other connect the iPad to Xcode.

It started with preparing iPad and Xcode will continue when the operation completes.

It hangs now for 2 hours. What is wrong with it?

There is lot of space at the iPad IOS 18.0 (22A3354) Pad Pro (11-inch) (2nd generation)

It worked earlier with Xcode 15 and iPadOS 17

I have the same problem with VisonPro OS 2.0 and Xcode 16,, it seems that Xcode is not working as it should.

I sucessfully debugged an app at an old iPad with ios 16 installed. So the problem seems to be iOS 18 Or some setting there,

Ive been having the same issue. Xcode 16, iOS and iPadOS 18. Seems to get stuck quite often on "Preparing iPad" (or "Preparing iPhone"). The only solution I've found is to disconnect the cable, reboot my MacBook, and re-connect the cable. Also rebooting the iPhone/iPad seems helps to keep it from happening quite as frequently (although it still happens a lot).

Gets a bit frustrating having to reboot all the time.
