It is likely that your phone s iOS version is not supported by your Xcode version  You can verify this by  quot Adding Additional Simulators quot   tapping the   sign at the bottom left of that dialog  and then selecting  quot Download more simulator runtimes    quot  in the OS Version field  Compare the most recent available OS Version to your phone s iOS version  on your phone go to Settings - gt  General - gt  About   Upgrading Xcode fixes this - so long as that doesn t cause any problems for you  If for some reason you need to stay on the same Xcode version but still need to support a newer iOS version  check this article out  https   davidlaristudios com 2016 11 adding-device-support-to-xcode  You can actually copy the device support out of a newer Xcode version and paste it into your Xcode version  Note that this requires that you download the new Xcode version separately - don t upgrade your current version  You can download the newer Xcode version directly from Apple
