Some people are not able to install newer xCode version which have support for their newer iOS devices. Apparently, there is a way to add support to older versions of xcode:
You need to put
DeveloperDiskImage
of iOS version in:
/Applications/Xcode8.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
^(you access this location by right clicking the xcode application in the osx programs folder, and select 'show package contents')
^(you access this location by right clicking the xcode application in the osx programs folder, and select 'show package contents')

and you can find this diskImage in newer xCode at same path in case you want to continue with an older xCode.
Example path of iOS Disk Image:
~/Applications/Xcode9.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/11.0
UPDATE: iOS 8.0-12 users; here are JUST the support folders:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lpEWD3zIk-ZqWN7_bosFViE6iA1bwLmK
download that .zip file, extract the folder for required ios version
copy the folder to the location listed above.
Your post is really very helpful. Easy to learn as you explain things precisely. Thank you so much.
