Apple Vision Pro Won't Connect to Xcode Device Manager

I have been doing app dev for my AVP for a few months now. It was working fine last time I connected it. I believe at the time I was using Xcode 15.4 and OS 2.0.

I just went to update my app and in the Xcode device manager I get this message:

"Ensure the device is unlocked and attached with a cable or associated with the same local area network as this Mac."

I am now using Xcode 16.1 and VisionOS 2.1.1.

Nothing else has changed. I am on the same wifi network and both devices have IP addresses, masks and default gateways that match.

I have tried rebooting both the AVP and my MacBook pro.

I do not have the $300 cable, so I have to do this over the network.

What do I do?

The one thing I didn't mention was that I purchased a new MacBook pro.

I chose the option to migrate to this new MacBook Pro.

It brought over everything else, so I assumed it would bring this over too.

That was a bad assumption.

I decided to try deleting the Mac on my AVP and pairing again.

That worked and now I am in.

If anyone knows I am curious why this wasn't brought over during the migration...
