Have you tried pairing the device again? Sometimes it seems to stop trusting the computer. It also might be worth confirming tho os version on the device and the deployment version set in the project.

It isn't a bug, it is an intended change. xcode connects to ios 17 and later using tcp/ip. It will connect over the usb cable if available.

You can do that. Select all the files you want to change. Right click on one of the files. Press and hold the option key and left click on show inspector. On the modal that opens select the application to use in the drop down in the open with section. Close the modal and the files will now open with the selected application.

If you need to do it from code, you need to clear the is image accessibility trait. If you do that, you likely want to add image to the accessibility label.

The screen shots are from xcode 26. You need to close and quit xcode. Open xcode 16.x from the applications folder. open the xcode | settings menu. Click on the locations tab. In the command line tools, select the xcode 16.x version. Then go to the components tab. You should see components for older ios versions. I would open your project. Tap on the xcode | about xcode to be sure you are seeing xcode 16.x Select the target you want and device/simulator you want. Try building/running your project.
