Thanks to @marlon-sousa for this idea ;)
Note
Could not locate device support files
If you see similar image, follow this:
Turn on "Developer mode" on your iPhone (Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Developer Mode).Note
If you need upper version of the support files less than 1 iteration (eg. You have "15.0" and you need "15.1.5" - You can simply rename folder from "15.0" to "15.1.5" and it should work or try to use next iteration version of the support files, if exists "15.2", otherwise open an issue);
Caution
Xcode 12 now encrypts the connection between Xcode and paired devices, protecting against an attacker in a privileged network position executing arbitrary code > on connected iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or tvOS devices during a remote debug session. (60386733)
These security benefits are available when Xcode 12 connects to devices running iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, tvOS 14, or later versions.
These OS versions also refuse debugger connections from older Xcode releases.
Xcode 12 continues to support debugging for older OS versions, but without the new encryption.
Comment
For debugging in iOS 14 devices you need at least Xcode 12.
Cause Apple have updated their code for debugging apps on iOS 14 and that is not compatible on older version of Xcode.Xcode usage license - Link.
