Well, that's it for Catalina then. Although I really want full Xcode 11.4/Swift UI/Swift 5.2 and my MacBook Pro a Catalina upgrade is just too much of a risk. On top of all the previous Catalina woes Apple should be hanging their heads in shame.

  You’re missing the ability to connect to and debug on iOS 13.4 devices, I believe: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/130988 https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/130988 So now I’m stuck on 10.14.6 and iOS 13.3.1, one of which is not getting security updates. Really hoping Fuschia or someone steps up and displaces Apple.

    My stress level has gone down dramatically since I gave up iOS development and went back to the web. I think it’s a better career move long term too.

    I managed to get round this by copying Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/13.4 from the latest Xcode.xib into my installed Xcode package. I can now debug 13.4 devices on Xcode 11.3.

    What??? Xcode 11.4 requires Catalina now?? That’s nuts.

      Over the last few years Xcode has dropped support for older versions of macOS very aggressively. It requires upgrading to a new major version within the year that the new version came out, and quite often requires the latest minor version as well.
