Tell HN: You Can Use "Screen Mirroring" in EU on iOS 27 via Xcode and Device Hub

I accidentally found out that if you select your own phone from the Xcode’s list of devices where to run an app compilation, and then you select “Manage Devices...” for some reason, another Device Hub tab opens with your phone, and you can use it normally via macOS. It’s not exactly the "screen mirroring" feature, but it’s basically the same.

Here's a short video of the workaround: https://streamable.com/4fku9m

      Yes but you can view and control your iPhone, not only a virtual device.

      Basically like the “Screen Mirroring” feature, and this festure is blocked in EU under the DSA, but with this workaround you can have something like “Screen Mirroring” also in EU.
