Xcode often does not recognize an iPhone as a development target that is connected by cable

If I connect my iPhone via cable to my Mac, the Mac can see the iPhone, but Xcode often does not see it, even so the iPhone is in developer mode. I have to restart the Mac. Is there a better way?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Why does Xcode 8.2.1 on Mac Pro with El Capitan 10.11.6 see my iPhone 14 as iPhone 4? I’am trying another possible fix from the net for iTunes not seeing my iPhone 14: I installed Xcode 8.2.1 opened Devices. Plugged in my iPhone 14 via USB. Although Xcode detects the iPhone an error says: Could not locate device support files. This iPhone 4 is running IOS 17.3.1 (21D61), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode. In Device Information it says Model: iPhone 4. How can Xcode see a new iPhone 14 as iPhone 4?? I never owned an iPhone 4! Any help will be appreciated!

Why is my iPhone not appearing on my Mac desktop? I am sure that when connecting my iPhone in the past, it would appear on the desktop. This is no longer the case. I have tried it with 2 different USB-A connectors, as well as a USB-C but no dice. iPhone mirroring works, however. Many thanks for any advice. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
