Unable to pair xcode with vision pro

So I have an apple developer account, a mac running Sequoia, and a Vision Pro, all I want to do is run my build on the headset, but I can't connect the headset to Xcode on the mac.


I've tried the steps I've seen online with no luck such as, On the Vision pro go to general > remote devices, then on xcode go to devices & simulators and add device, show the screen saying to connect with a usb cable, this doesn't work neither device shows for either device.


I've tried different networks, hotspots, with different security protocols, I've disabled Airplay & Airdrop, I've created new users.

I'm just at a loss not sure what I can try to get them connecting.

These are the steps I've tried explained clearer:


  1. Connect to same wifi network
  2. On Vision Pro -> Settings > General > Remote Devices
  3. On Mac -> Xcode -> Devices & Simulators -> Select the Vision Pro & enter the code
  4. On Mac -> Run a build targeted at your vision pro device which should now be a run destination (Developer mode setting wasn't visible till I did this), you will get an error saying developer mode is not enabled
  5. On Vision Pro -> Privacy & Security > Developer Mode


I can't complete step 3, as no devices show up.

And developer mode on the headset seems to be hidden until you have done these steps.
