I recently ran into this issue with XCode 8 just after updating my device from iOS 9 to 10  The exact error I received was Development cannot be enabled while your device is locked  Please unlock your device and reattach  I received this error even when my phone was unlocked  and after unplugging and re-plugging in the device   As is mentioned in several answers  the device is locked message is actually referring to the device not trusting the MacBook  In my case  I think my phone defaulted to not trusting my computer after updating to iOS 10  Here are the steps that worked for me to reset the settings  this is the same process that is mentioned in the Apple support page in tehprofessors  answer     Disconnect your device from your MacBook and close Xcode  On your device go to Settings  gt  General  gt  Reset  then tap Reset Location  amp  Privacy Plug your device back into your computer  and on the device you will be prompted to trust the computer  Tap trust   Now reopen Xcode and rebuild the project  The device locked error should disappear

Generally just unplugging replugging seems to work for me  But today it didn t and something else seems to have worked  I have enabled network debugging on the device in question and it almost looked like it remembered an old network  lock  setting  while not seeing that the device was actually connected via USB  After  temporarily  de-selecting  Connect via Network  and replugging  it got things working again

One possibility worth checking  if none of these other solutions work  is that there is no space left on the device   Xcode will not give you a helpful  device full  error to tell you that your device has no storage space left  but it will also not be able to deploy an app build to a device whose storage is full   The only solution in that situation is to delete media or other apps data to free up enough space
