This is also encountered when trying to use Xcode 6.4 against an iOS 9.0.x device. Here's how you can workaround it and get Xcode 6.4 to recognize your iOS 9.0.x devices:

1. Download Xcode 7.0.1:

http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_7.0.1/Xcode_7.0.1.dmg

2. Open Xcode_7.0.1.dmg and drag the Xcode.app to your desktop

3. Right-click, Show package contents, navigate into /Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

4. Copy the "9.0 (13A340)" directory to the existing DeviceSupport directory for your Xcode 6.4 install. For example: ~/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

5. Restart Xcode 6.4 (if it was running), and your device running iOS 9.0.x should now show as a recognized device.
