> What prevents you from connecting them using Bluetooth
I don't think you can connect via BT and then use that connection from Xcode for deployment and debugging. That still requires a cable.
- usaphp 10y agoYou can, starting from Xcode 6
- pilif 10y agoHow? I just tried it: Made my phone discoverable, paired to it using the Mac's bluetooth preference pane. Xcode (8.1) doesn't list the phone in the "Devices" pane nor does it offer it as a deployment target.
- jimboj 10y agoIn Xcode 8 you can't. They briefly had it as a feature but it has never worked properly and is not supported. EDIT: It was also using Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth.
- jevinskie 10y agoCorrect. I've hacked at it a bit in an attempt to re-enable the functionality but I haven't been successful yet. After reversing some old XCodes and iOS binaries I found a MobileDevice.framework call that is related to WiFi debugging but even after poking the iDevice with it, XCode doesn't show it in it's device list. extern int AMDeviceSetWirelessBuddyFlags(struct am_device *device, uint8_t flags); AMDeviceSetWirelessBuddyFlags(device, 1|2);
- mrsteveman1 10y agoI see another reply saying you can but I've never done it At one time, back in the Xcode 4.x days I believe, they did support development over WiFi. It didn't seem to be very well tested at the time and got pulled out soon after. They seem to have given up on the idea for some reason but it would be nice to go that route again.
