The iOS version on "mydevice_name" is not supported by this iOS SDK installation

Question

I just updated my iPad using iOS 7.0 (11A465), and according to the instructions that I installed iTunes compatible with it, i.e. 11.1, but my iPad does not show up in xCode. my xCode version is 4.6.3.

and the organizer displays a message as shown below:

The iOS version on "myDevice_Name" is not supported by this iOS SDK installation. Restore your device to the OS version below, or upgrade to the latest iOS SDK; which is available here.

OS installed on myDevice_Name iPad 7.0 (11A465)

Xcode Supported iOS Versions

I ran into this problem even if I have problems testing my applications on the device, so please help me solve this problem.

Thanks..

Answer 1

Xcode 4.6.3 ships with iOS6.1, so Xcode will not detect your iOS7 device. It can detect any device with iOS version <= iOS6.1 and let you use it for development.

If it's just a matter of installing the app on an iPad, you can use iTunes to do this. But if you want to connect the device to Xcode for debugging or using tools, you will need to upgrade to Xcode5.

EDIT

This seems to be a workaround that worked for a few people. But Xcode 5 installation is still required. Xcode does not recognize a device with a higher version of iOS than is available with it.

Hope this helps!
