I'm having issues supporting the brand new iPad Mini 7. No simulator and the actual device (just received) doesn't appear to be supported. So I can't test my SwiftUI apps on this new device. I can't even do a "Hello, world!" app. I get this:

The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device:

Error mounting image: 0xe800010f (kAMDMobileImageMounterPersonalizedBundleMissingVariantError: The bundle image is missing the requested variant for this device.)

When will this new device be supported? Or is there a work-around? Or is there an update?

I'm already on MacOS 15.0.1. I doubt this is a MacOS issue. This strikes me as a lack of Xcode support for the iPad Mini 7. I hope there's a solution soon.

Can you upgrade to macOS 15.0.1 and let me know if that lets you use your new iPad mini?

I have the exact same problem with my new iPad mini 7 Pro.

Same issue with my iPad Mini 7.

MacOS 15.0.1 XCode 16.0

Though, I found the following: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764196.

I assume the resolution is the same: install the XCode Beta 16.2 (not tried)

I updated iPad Mini 7 to 18.1, My MacBook to 15.1, but those didn't fix. But then Xcode 16.1 just came out and after updating to 16.1, my iPad Mini 7 is now supported. It also gave me the simulator for my Mini 7. So all is not good. Too bad Xcode 16.1 wasn't available first.

Sorry, I meant to say: "So all is now good."

My iPad Mini 7 is now supported after installing Xcode 16.1.
