I found that error causes when device lost connection for a moment. it's happen when you have damaged (or very old) cable. How ironic... trying to connect a device for ones for been wireless anymore, but cable...

    I get this error while "Connect via network" option in new version of XCode9 and iOS11.

    enter image description here

    I checked the "Connect via network" box. After few seconds XCode gives me this error:

    "An error was encountered while attempting to communicate with this device"

    Anyone facing the same issue?

    Configuration

    • XCode Version 9.0 beta 5 (9M202q)

    • iPad Air
