I'm trying to fix a bug on a device running iPad OS 16.3, but xcode doesn't seem to be able to speak 16.3, best it can do is 16.2

Is there a way to run 16.3 on xcode right now? I can't find a manual download, and it's not in the xcode platforms list, even though it's live on devices.

  • Have you ever tested on a real iPad or have you only used simulators? It is unusual for a point release to introduce bugs. If you have never tested on a real device that is more likely the issue. – Paulw11 Feb 02 '23 at 21:31

    It's on a real device that I see the bug, or at least a few users have seen a UI issue and sent screenshots. I do have a 16.3 iPad lying around, but I'm not seeing the same thing and I'm not certain why. My thought is, xcode doesn't properly speak 16.3 since the best it has is 16.2 – Wesley Feb 02 '23 at 21:46
  • If you build and run on a real 16.3 iPad then it is the same code that your users are running except they are running a release build. So you see the bug if you run a release build rather than debug build? – Paulw11 Feb 02 '23 at 22:23

The iOS 16.3 simulator is not available, so we can't test anything on a device running iOS 16.3 yet. Hopefully Xcode will be updated soon!

Edit: After a complete reinstallation of Xcode 14.2, you can now run a simulation on a device running iOS 16.3.

I had to upgrade Xcode to latest version and then restarted both mac and the phone. It worked successfully.

Prior to this, I also upgraded the OS from Monterey to Ventura, which I dont think required for ios16.3 to work.
