Xcode won't detect an iPhone 5 device with iOS 6.1.4

I'm having a problem running my app on an iPhone 5 device with iOS 6.1.4. Xcode won't recognize the device. It will recognize and run the app on an iPad with 6.1.3.

also, I'm using Xcode Version 4.5.2 (4G2008a) and iTunes 11.0.2

I am just having this issue after installing iOS 6.1.4. My solution is to enable my iPhone 5 for development by following steps:

  1. Xcode > Window > Organizer
  2. select your iPhone 5 in left panel. And now there is no green dot
  3. enable "iphone for development" in right panel
  4. there should be a green dot if everything is OK

All this message is stating is that the device has a higher OS version than Xcode has. You can fix this by downloading the OS file from the developer portal and copying it to Xcode. This is mainly so Xcode can restore your device or load a newer version (if needed).

Which version of Xcode are you using? It may be possible that you need to update Xcode and iTunes to get your phone working to install applications. It can be touchy that way sometimes.
