Xcode 10 with iOS 14 device - An error was encountered while attempting to communicate with this device. (The service is invalid.)

Question

Is there any solution to fix this error?

My project is not working in Xcode 11/12 as one of our third party framework is not being supported. I have been copying DeviceSupport for my Xcode 10 since last year from Xcode 11 and all along it was working fine.

Ever since upgrading my iPad to iOS 14, it is showing me this new error: Obviously I have tried to reconnect the device, restart, and tried to search for solution in forums.

Please share if you have run into this problem too.

• iOS 13 is still working fine with my Xcode 10.3, and I am able to run my project in simulator as well.

I have found a workaround for this problem. Build (Command + B) using Xcode 11 and Deploy or Run Without Building (Option + Command + R) using Xcode 12 and it deploys to device successfully and debugger is also attached. However, for some reason debugger is not working as expected for me using this approach.
