Connecting LC to Xcode

[Marty Knapp]

Yes those are the steps I’ve tried, only using Xcode 10.1 (couldn’t get LC to accept 11.2). When I click the “Test” button it starts going through the process of prepping the app then errors out with the message “Unable to start simulation: Failed to install the requested application”

If I change the test target to my actual iPhone it installs it fine, so I guess I’ll just do that.
