Summary:

When developing iOS code on a device that requires a passcode, Xcode cannot begin debugging until the passcode has been entered. Xcode should be able to enter the passcode and unlock the device so that debugging can begin.

Steps to Reproduce:

Attach an iOS device that requires a passcode and verify that it is locked. Attempt to debug an iOS app on the device. The device presents its passcode screen, but Xcode fails with messages reading:

Error launching remote program: device locked.
Error launching remote program: device locked.
The program being debugged is not being run.
The program being debugged is not being run.

Expected Results:

Xcode would prompt the developer for the device passcode and enter it over the USB connection.

Xcode would store the passcode in the Mac's keychain for future use.

Actual Results:

As above.

Regression:

This has never been a feature, though it may have failed differently in older versions of Xcode.
