LOL  I was doing all the steps here - I ended up doing the unpairing repairing steps from the  given by Surjeet  answer  It didn t work  and then I noticed that when I clicked the  connect via network  button  the same yellow box would pop up that pops up when you repair  saying  busy  - I got frustrated and just started hammering the  connect via network  button  clicking it quickly for probably like 15 - 20 clicks - it started spazzing out  but eventually landed on being able to connect to the network  Before that worked  I also shut my wifi off and turned it on again  as suggested by one of these answers  but clicking the  connect via network  button really fast did the trick   LOL  Also  before I hammered the button  I linked the device support folders  although I m not sure if it did anything   open the terminal     cd    Applications Xcode app Contents Developer Platforms iPhoneOS platform DeviceSupport      ln -s 13 3 13 4      ls -l 13 4      restart Xcode and retry run on device   Said to do it here - https   forums developer apple com thread 126940 - I edited the folder version in my comment to adjust to the latest version of iOS 13 4   EDIT I believe I figured out what my problem was  I had to stop my Little Snitch network filter  Also  after I was able to connect by hammering the button  the  connect via IP address  option appeared in the dropdown when you right click on the device in the devices manager in xcode  it wasn t there before I was able to connect ultra-hacky style the first time  If I connect  and then turn my network filter on  it disconnects my phone

The only thing that worked for me was to connect my phone to my MacBook using Bluetooth   I did this after first pairing my phone with Xcode while connected via cable per ios dev s answer above    On my phone  I went to Settings   Bluetooth and tapped my MacBook s name under  MY DEVICES  to connect   I then went to Xcode   Devices and Simulators  selected my phone and checked  Connect via network   After a few seconds  the globe icon appeared next to my phone and I could run and debug my app on my phone   This worked even when my MacBook was connected to a WiFi network and my phone was using LTE  The only downside is that it was quite slow installing the app to the phone

My problem was about network SSID broadcasting   I ve tried all the solutions above but still couldn t connect my device  there was no  globe  icon for my device at all  Then I found that for some reason my network had turned its SSID broadcasting off tho I could still connect the network by inputing the SSID manually   Once I turned the SSID broadcasting on  I could connect my device via  Connect via IP Address

Network debugging requires Xcode 9 0 or later running on macOS 10 12 4   or later  and on the device  requires iOS 11 0 or later  or tvOS 11 0   or later    iPhone  iOS 11 won t be available for 32bit devices  i e  iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c and below  The first 64bit iPhone is 5s   iPad  iPad mini 2 will be the oldest iPad with iOS 11 support   iPod  iPod needs to be an iPod 6 to be able to run iOS   If you use your devices not only for developing but also for production  be warned that a beta OS is not for the faint hearted  -

In the new Xcode9-beta  we can use wireless debugging as said by Apple      Cut the Cord   Choose any of your iOS or tvOS devices on the local network to install  run  and debug your apps     without a USB cord plugged into your Mac  Simply click the    Connect via Network    checkbox the first time you use a new iOS device  and that device will be available over the network from that point forward  Wireless development also works in other apps  including Instruments  Accessibility Inspector  Quicktime Player  and Console    Try this     If facing disconnection issues  try this      Workaround  Enable airplane mode on your device for 10 seconds and then disable airplane mode to re-establish your connection

I just talked to some Xcode engineers at WWDC and the auto discovery of iDevices is still a little buggy  Also sometimes your phone is not correctly broadcasting  Switching your device on and off can help   There are a few workarounds fallbacks   You can check if your phone is broadcasting with Bonjour Browser  www tildesoft com   Look if your wifi address is listed under the service called   apple-mobdev2  tcp  - 215   you can find your wifi address here  settings   general   about   wifi address    As a fallback you can connect to your device by manually entering the IP address  right click on your devices in the Devices window   However this IP address will be persisted  so if you change networks you ll need to reset this  That option is not available in Xcode yet  but you can do it via the terminal with the following command   defaults read com apple dt Xcode   grep IDEIDS   This will print an identifier which you need to use in the next command   defaults delete com apple dt Xcode  lt identifier gt    Now the ip address is cleared and you can enter a new one   The last option is to create a computer-to-computer network  This works fine  but logically you won t have internet access then

The only way I could get it to work is if my Mac and my iPhone were on different networks   I have a main DSL modem call it network1 and a second network2 setup us an access point   They have SSIDs network1 and network2   If the phone was on network1 and the mac on network2 it would work  or vice versa   But if both were on network1 or both were on network2  it would NOT work
