Xcode: Update device support files wo update xcode

Currently I can't update Xcode because it needs a newer OS X version, I don't want to install.

To work with newer iOS versions on iPad or iPhone you need new device support files.
First have a look here:
github.com/filsv/iPhoneOSDeviceSupport

  • Download version you need listed above
  • Unzip it
  • Close Xcode
  • Copy and paste unziped folder by path:
    /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
  • Reopen Xcode

Ready

If it's not to find here try this path in that repo:
github.com/iGhibli/iOS-DeviceSupport/tree/master/DeviceSupport
Download it and follow the steps above
