When you are connecting your device with ios version 8.3 and you have x-code 6.1 it means that it is SDK version is 8.1 and that's why it will show you the device ineligible. So that solving this error you need to upgrade your SDK version to the same device ios version. if device version is ios 8.3 then SDK version also needs 8.3 . xcode 6.3 will give you SDK version 8.3. Hope it will help you.

Answer 3

update your Xcode to support iOS 8.4

Answer 4

Because the current Xcode version does not support iOS 8.4.

All you have to do is, open you App Store, in the Updates tab, upgrade the Xcode.

App Store -> Updates -> update Xcode

It's easy.

Answer 5

If device is showing Ineligible, then try to select it from Menubar option as follows: Product->Destination->select your device.

I hope it will help you.
