Mac OS

Errors were encountered while preparing your device

February 14, 2021 By Ravi Shankar

One of the common error that occurs in Xcode is “Error were encounted while preparing your device for development. Please check the Devices and Simulators Window.” I have noticed this error after Mac OS update or Xcode app update Trying the following

Restart your device,
Close Xcode and try re-running the Xcode project.

Sometimes after restarting the device you might see the following “iPhone is Busy: Making iPhone ready for development”. Give some time for the device after a restart, this might fix the problem.

If you have come across these during any other scenarios, please share them in the comments section. Thank you.

Display Date Created in finder view on Mac OS

The Finder view on Mac OS by default does not display the Date Created field for the documents, folders and other items. And if you want to know the date created for these items then you can enable this using Finder View options.

In the Finder View Options window, tick the check box with label as Date Created.

This would display the Date Created column for the respective items as shown above.
