Xcode6 USB installation - pairing is prohibited by policy on device
How to resolve this specific error I am getting with iPad Air on iOS 8.1 (it might be behind some kind of enterprise / education security protocol)
Xcode encountered an error Pairing is prohibited by a policy on the device
NB Searching currently yields nothing for this particular error message. This appears to be independent of the restrictions available in the Installation Restrictions settings.

There are various solutions for this problem,
- You can remove the managed certificate (under Settings -> General -> Profiles and Device Management) installed by Enterprise. (Navigate to the certificate and it will have a "Remove Management" or "Remove Certificate" button).
- If the device is controlled by the Apple Configurator profile, we can ask the administrator / owner to check the Allow devices to connect to other Macs option and check the restrictions (select) Allow hosts without configuration.
- Another option is to check the "Limitations" in the MDM certificate details section, and if the following options are present, have the IT administrator remove these policies from the device and redeploy the policy certificate.
- Installation of configuration profiles is not allowed
- Pairing with iTunes is not allowed.
- Unable to establish invalid TLS connections.
- In-app purchases are not permitted.
I believe this should allow the device to be paired with Xcode and another computer.
