DeviceSupportVersions

A lightweight macOS utility for managing Xcode's device support files — the cached symbols and metadata Xcode downloads for each physical device you connect. These files accumulate over time and can consume gigabytes of disk space.

DeviceSupportVersions transforms cryptic Xcode device support folder names into a clear, sortable table showing device names, OS versions, and build numbers

What It Does

DeviceSupportVersions scans your ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport folder (or any folder you choose) and displays all device support entries in a sortable table showing:

  • Folder Name — the raw folder name as stored on disk
  • Device — the human-readable marketing name (e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro")
  • OS Version — the OS and version the symbols were captured for (e.g., "iOS 17.4")
  • Build — the specific OS build number (e.g., 21E236)

Supports iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS device entries.

Features

  • Sortable table — click any column header to sort entries
  • Multi-select — select one or more entries to delete
  • Safe deletion — moves entries to the Trash (recoverable), never permanently deletes
  • Custom folder — browse to any DeviceSupport folder, not just the default Xcode location
  • Refresh — re-scan the folder at any time

Why It's Useful

Every time you connect a new device or update its OS, Xcode downloads a fresh set of device support files. Old entries are never cleaned up automatically. This app makes it easy to identify and remove outdated entries, recovering potentially gigabytes of disk space.

Requirements

  • macOS 14 (Sonnet) or later
  • Xcode (to build)
