50

Upon upgrading to Xcode 6 every time I unplug a device that is running an app deployed and started from Xcode, I get the application-wide popup box saying "Lost connection to [device name]".

The Xcode icon starts to bounce in the deck and I have to go there and click "OK", otherwise it keeps bouncing, which is really annoying.

Lost connection ss After closing that dialog box over 50 times, I have to ask:

Is there a way for me to disable the "Lost connection to [device name]" message in Xcode 6?

I may be running half a dozen demo projects on a device and don't want to have to close all of them before I unplug the device.

    Xcode 10 and still it bounces. For me the bouncing Icon is a bad user experience; It draws my attention away from what I am busy with. Very annoying!!

    This still is the most aggravating UI/UX sin that has ever been committed. I'm developing a game that relies on accelerometer control, and I have to unplug the device every time I want to reasonably test the app. Absolutely every time, this message pops up, blocks Xcode, and I have to do an unnecessary click.

which is Xcode 12. However, if you are using Xcode 6, you might be able to disable the "Lost connection to iPhone" message by doing the following:

Open Xcode. Go to the Preferences menu (Xcode > Preferences or Command + Comma). Go to the Devices tab. Uncheck the "Show Disconnect Alerts" option. This will disable the "Lost connection to iPhone" message when you unplug an iOS device from your Mac.

Note: If you are using Xcode 6 and are having issues with the iOS Simulator, you might want to try resetting the iOS Simulator or deleting the app that you are testing from the iOS Simulator.
