Yes and it didn’t help. I’m still getting operation timed out error during installation.

The beta works such that it should get the latest versions of things.

I can manually transfer the app via Xcode, but if I try to transfer it using ios-deploy it will hang. I tried ios-deploy -id 00008020-000829EA1428002E --bundle test.ipa And it prints out the following: [....] Waiting for iOS device to be connected Skipping 00008020-000829EA1428002E (D331pAP, D331pAP, uknownos, unkarch) a.k.a. 'XS Max iPhone'. Normally this process only takes a few seconds and doesn’t hang.
