If you want to develop with Xcode 7 on your iOS10 device :

  1. Rename your Xcode.app to Xcode7.app and download Xcode 8 from the app store.
  2. Run Xcode 8 once to install it.
  3. Open the terminal and create a symbolic link from Xcode 8 Developer Disk Image 10.0 to Xcode 8 Developer Disk Image folder using this command:

ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/10.0\ (14A345)/ /Applications/Xcode7.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/10.0

Note : This works for Xcode 9 and above

UPDATE 2018:
If you want to use Xcode 9 with iOS 12:

  1. Download Xcode 10 (still in beta right now)
  2. Put it in the Application folder as Xcode-beta.app
  3. Open the terminal and use the command below:

ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/12.0\ (16A5354b)/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/12.0

You may try downloading a Developer Disk Image for the required iOS version, as of your mobile device; If you only want a quick and simple solution..

You need to goto: 

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneO‌​S.platform/DeviceSup‌​port/

and paste the Developer Disk Image you just manually downloaded.
