Unable to locate DeviceSupport Directory iOS 7.1

Question

I know there is already a topic about this, but it is 1 year old.

Whenever I try to debug my FireMonkey application on my iPad ( iOS 7.1 ) I get this error:

Unable to locate DeviceSupport directory matched with connected device info. Please run Xcode Organizer.

I develop my apps in Windows and have a MacBook Pro running Maverick. The iPad is connected and there is a green light next to the iPad in Xcode.

I have the iOS 7.1 SDK selected in RAD Studio XE5 .

It deploys successfully on the iPad, but I cannot debug.

I recently upgraded my iPad to 7.1, because there was an version error all of a sudden. Then I also upgraded my Mac OS and Xcode.

Please help.

Answer 1

I was stuck in the same problem, then, I found this guide .

I just followed steps d), e) and f). That worked for me.

d) go to folder /Users//Library/Developer/XCode/iOS DeviceSupport

e) There should be folder of your version and version identification – in my case it's 7.1 (11d167). In my case there was folder 7.1 (11d169), but not 11d167. That's because my iPhone 11d167, but the iPad Air 11d169. I think it's a bug in Xcode Organizer that that the correct folder wasn't created.

f) Just take any existing folder and copy it under correct name.

PS: The path in step d) is hidden, you need to copy in Terminal or make hidden files visible.
