    When using Parallels Desktop 17.0.1 with a macOS Big Sur 11.6 guest OS, I am unable to use an attached iOS device. The host OS is also Big Sur 11.6. The USB device appears to be visible to the OS, but neither Finder nor Xcode can see it. Here is the output from ioreg -p IOUSB:

    +-o Root <class IORegistryEntry, id 0x100000100, retain 9>

    +-o iPhone@fd900000 <class AppleUSBDevice, id 0x1000014ef, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 11>


    The attached iPhone is there at the end of the list. In Finder, I have the sidebar configured such that iOS devices should be there. Xcode shows no available physical devices. Attaching a USB drive to the guest OS works without problems. Is there anything else that I need to do in order to make iOS devices fully accessible to the guest OS?

    After updating the host OS to Monterey 12.0.1, I am able to access iOS devices again from my Big Sur 11.6.1 guest OS. It's also working from a Monterey 12.0.1 guest OS. I am also using Parallels Desktop 17.1.0 at this point.
