My phone couldn't update and connect iPhone to my Mac

When connected to my Macbook M2 air, it's required to download software. But after I click download, it's always pops the message telling it's failed. Can you share how to fix this?

Thanks

MacBook Air, macOS 13.5

"A software update is required to connect to your iPhone" All of my software is up-to-date, but I'm still getting this message every time I connect my iPhone to my iMac! When I click "install," it download software, but then it says "Installation Failed." I just tried resetting my phone entirely, and that didn't solve the problem. The next step is to reset my iMac, but I really don't want to do that if I don't have to. Has anyone else run into this? (By the way, it happens for both my iMac and my Studio, and it happens for both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, and it seems to have been around since we updated to Monterey.)
