## Description

iOS-DeviceSupport provides the system symbols and framework files required by Xcode to recognize and debug physical iOS devices. It serves as a collection of hardware integration files that enable a development environment to communicate with and analyze mobile hardware running specific operating system versions.

The project focuses on the installation of these support files to facilitate on-device debugging, mobile app testing, and performance profiling. By providing the necessary debugging symbols, it allows development tools to interface with physical devices rather than relying on simulators.
