Cisco AnyConnect 4.10 and Xcode Deploying to Physical iPhone

I've got multiple developers who are having an issue where when connected to Cisco VPN User Tunnel, they are not able to connect to a USB connected iPhone in Xcode.  When not connected to Cisco VPN User Tunnel, the developers are able to access the USB connected phone without issue.

As of Xcode 15.4, Xcode now uses a virtual network adapter to communicate with iOS devices. Specifically 

fe80::/64 and fd00::/8, traffic with the iPhone is basically using its own network and with AnyConnect being a full tunnel that network cannot be accessed. Time to open a case with Cisco :).

Thanks AJPinto.  I've already opened a case with Cisco but have not heard back on the case of yet.

This was fixed in Cisco Secure Client 5.1.3.62.  Major upgrade from 4.10, but its what our company recently did.
