As stated in the title, upgraded today to iOS 8.2 and my device is not supported in Xcode 6.3 beta.

Even though Xcode 6.3 supports iOS 8.3, I also cannot install iOS 8.2 simulator.

I cannot quit using Xcode 6.3 beta because I have quite of a lot of code modified according to Swift 1.2 changes and as far as I know Xcode 6.2 does not yet support Swift 1.2.

Is there any known solution except downgrading or upgrading to iOS 8.3 beta? (also iOS 8.3 beta was not to be found along apple links for download)

P.S.. I was able to run Swift code on the device prior to upgrade..

After installing Xcode 6.2 also released this days, I opened a random project, it signed (or did something with my device) and after that Xcode 6.3 beta recognised my iOS 8.2 version!

  1. Install the last stable Xcode version
  2. open a random project
  3. connect your device while keeping the Xcode opened
  4. let Xcode make it's own procedures for recognising the device ("copy symbols"..)
  5. open your beta Xcode and enjoy using your test device as always
