Xcode not supported for iOS 11.3 by Xcode 9.2 needed 9.3


Apparently, with the latest IOS update, my version of Xcode could not build due to the following error.

Could not locate device support files. This iPhone 7 Plus (Model 1661, 1784, 1785, 1786) is running iOS 11.3 (15E216), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.

Tried to install Xcode 9.3 via this link https://developer.apple.com/download/more/. But as it turns out, my Mac OS version sees the update as an incompatible version. Running on Sierra 10.12.6


Solution

  • Another option is to download the 11.3 device support at:

    iOS 11.3 (15E217)

    And don't forget to remove "(15E217)" from folder name, so it became "11.3". Restart Xcode afterwards.

    Where to paste it according to comment of EdwardM

    For those that don't know where to paste the contents of the zipped file. Find your Applications icon in the dock, right-click, "Open Applications". The folder will open in Finder. Right-click Xcode > Show Package Contents. Then go to Developer > Platforms > iPhoneOS.platform > DeviceSupport
