Apple - iOS - Testing on iOS 10.3 with XCode 8.2.1

I have a MacBook with El Capitan installed on it. I cannot upgrade to sierra! Because of that, I cannot install XCode 8.3.

Now I need to test an App with iOS 10.3 but I cannot build it with XCode 8.2.1 for iOS 10.3. I have an pyhsical device with iOS 10.3 but XCode wont let me run it on that device.

What to do now?

Don't get disappointed. There is one way.

If you have access any of the mac that is running the latest xcode and up to date simulators, then navigate to this directory copy the simulators you need and past it on the same directory in your OSX.

You can then be able to run the app on the latest simulator and the updated physical device!

/Applications/Xcode8.3.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform

Doing so is still possible with this simple workaround:

  1. Download the latest Xcode
  2. Right click on the downloaded Xcode.app, select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport subfolder
  3. Move the 10.3 folder to the identical location in your local Xcode 8.2.1 installation

Unfortunately, you're out of luck. As this answer specifies, iOS 10.3 requires Xcode 8.3 or greater, which in turn requires macOS Sierra.
