5/3/26. MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 XCode 26.4.1
ISSUE:
Problem connecting my iPhone to XCode. My Apple watch connects but not my iPhone. My iPhone is a Model 12 Pro Max. I have it connected to the Mac Mini via a cable. The iPhone shows up in Finder. Xcode reason for inability to connect is a previous preparation error: "The tunnel connection failed while the system tried to connect to the device”.
WHAT DID NOT WORK:
Restarted Mac & iPhone.
Plugged and unplugged cables.
Deleted Derived Data folder & Provisioning Profiles data and then restarted XCode.
WHAT DID WORK:
Settings>Developer>Networking…toggle on Network Link Conditioner…Test Responsiveness
Result was almost immediate…Device disappeared and then reappeared in XCode under Devices and Simulators fully operational…no reboot or repairing needed.
