I am a beginner in Xcode.
I don’t have xcode 11 on my mac because it cannot run Mojave (required osx for Xcode 11).
Can I create the app on my computer in Xcode 10, then send the project file to a friend with Xcode 11, and then publish the app to App Store from my friend’s computer? What problems can I expect? Swift 4/5 incompatability? Is there any other solution?
Yes, you can. If your swift version is 4 it's okay. not a problem.
I think the only thing will happen in your friend's Xcode is a warning that says to you 'Conversion to swift 5 is available'.
But it is okay to ignore it and to publish your application with swift 4

Ineligible Devices section appeared in Xcode 6.x.x
(32 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
My device isn't working with the xcode (6).
I've installed the iOS 8 beta on my device and tried to run my app via the xcode 6 on the device, but unfortunately my device appears under "Ineligible Devices" section.
I also bumped with the following links:
Xcode 6 won't let me develop on my iOS 8 phone
Ineligible Devices section appeared in Xcode 6.x.x
But the actions there didn't help me, any other actions to do other than changing the "Deployment target" + restart (xcode/mac/device)?
In my case, selecting the device from Product -> Destination worked great.
After re-connecting in XCode 6.1. It's working fine. Please try again.
We have to wait to Xcode 6.1, it should be uploaded yesterday but link doen´s work well
Xcode 6.1:
Posted: Oct 16, 2014
Build: 6A1052c
Included iOS SDK: iOS 8.1
Included Mac SDK: OS X v10.10
Disconnect device and clean Xcode 6.1. Reconnect device. This worked for me.
Confirm when connect your device (iOS 8.1 and Xcode6.1) unlocked , it will show as ineligible device even after unlock the device,
so next time you will connect as unlocked device so reconnect clear that issue. i hope it may help to some one.
In my case (Xcode 6.1, iOS 8.2) I did not see any updates in AppStore.
I found Xcode 6.2 for download and pressed "Install". It installed and asked for the update (more than 2 Gb).
Xcode 6.2 works correctly with iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.1.2
Hopefully this tip will help somebody else...
Your project is configured for an iOS version higher than your device. Update your device or change the iOS Deployment Target on Targets->[Your project]->Build Settings->Deployment-> iOS Deployment Target
The OS version of my phone is 7.0.2 (11A501). I am using XCode 4.6.3. The IDE Xcode is not detecting my iPhone. When i go to organizer it tells me the following
The version of iOS on “Joe iPhone” is not supported by this
installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of
the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK;
which is available here.
However, i have read in various forums that if i download xCode 5 i will not be able to build for ios 5 or 6 applications. What should i do ? Help/
It sometimes suffices to copy the device support files from a newer Xcode version to an older one. Try copying
Xcode5.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/7.0 (11A465)
to your Xcode 4 installation, but name it "7.0.2 (11A501)"
There is a neat trick to install the app on and iOS 7 device with Xcode 4.6
First download from the developer center Xcode 5 and install it manually in a separate folder in your Applications folder (I did add it in an Xcode foler, inside Applications).
So now you have both Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5 on your Mac.
Now, run your code on Xcode 5 and install it on your phone (press the debug button on your iOS device). Once this is done, you can quit Xcode 5, open Xcode 4.6 and it will be able to debug the app on your iOS7 device just fine!
You will be able to run iOS 6 apps easily from xCode 5 - no problem.
Updating xCode is only way to work with iOS 7 devices - you have no choice.
Yes, you have to update your xcode, or create an IPA and install it on your device with iOS 7.0.2 by iTunes.
First of all, definitely you have to install XCode5.
Initially you can build application only against IOS7, but you can manually add IOS6 SDK.
XCode SDK's are placed on this location:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
You can copy IOS6 SDK from this location of XCode4.6 and paste it into same location in XCode5.
This way you can choose will you build your application against IOS6 or IOS7.
Run your code in Xcode5 the again run in Xcode4.6 will solve problem.
if you want to debug your Apps in xcode with ios 7 then, Updating xCode to version xcode 5 is only way to work with new ios (ios 7.0.2) and xcode 5 requirement is MAC os 10.8.4 , you have to update your OS ,if you right now using older version of operating system
Thanks
It seems that XCode 5 only comes with the iOS 6 and 7 simulators. Is there a way to use the iOS 5 simulator with XCode 5?
If you're using Xcode 5 under OS X v10.8 then if you go to Preferences -> Downloads you should see the 5.0 and 5.1 simulators available under 'Components'. You can download and install directly from there.
If you're using Xcode 5 under OS X v10.9 then the iOS 5 simulator is no longer available.
In terms of lessons to learn, Apple did exactly the same thing with iOS 4 and the transition from OS X v10.7 to v10.8. So it's not unreasonable to expect that from now on Apple is going to supply simulators only for the version of iOS that was current when that OS X came out and the one before it.
Since Mavericks and Xcode 5.1, iOS5 Simulator is now gone :(
Seems Apple want us to focus on iOS7 and iOS6. (iOS5 now holds only < 1 to 5 % total on active AppStore devices)
While there is no 5.1 simulator under Mavericks, you still can connect up an old iPad1 to do your testing.
Additional Simulators can be installed from Xcode -> Preference -> Downloads -> Components
However, in case of Xcode 5.x iOS 5 simulator cannot be installed since Mavericks doesn’t allows it.

This doesn't technically answer your question, but that's how I do it in practice:
You can have Xcode 4 and 5 installed simultaneously on the system. Xcode4 does have support for iOS 5. You just need to download Xcode4 from the downloads page and rename the app before installing to the system (so that you don't copy it over Xcode 5).
Edit: this solution is not working anymore. Used to work but currently crashes for me.
If you still have the old version of XCode you can try giving a symbolic link as explained in this post : https://stackoverflow.com/a/18957939/2415693
I was able to run iOS 5.0 simulator using Xcode 5 on Lion. But after upgrade to Maverick it didn't work the same way it did on Lion. May be there is a way, but not the same as before...
I'm running Mavericks, but I have Mountain Lion as a virtual partition under Parallels Desktop. Under Xcode 5.0.2 downloads the iOS 5.0 and 5.1 simulators are showing up, and I've downloaded them, but sadly I can't seem to select them when running an app.
The 5.1 simulator as such runs fine if I select in manually, it's just that I can't seem to deploy apps on it from Xcode, even though I'm setting my deployment target to 5.1.1.
To satisfy my curiosity I've also got Mountain Lion running from an external hard disk (without the virtual machine) and I get the same results: no deploying apps from Xcode 5 to iOS 5.1.1
I have an iPhone 4s. I receive iOS 7 update in my phone. So the question is: can I run iOS 6 apps from Xcode on my iOS 7 device?
NOTE: I haven't got XCode 5, so that's the reason I would like to know about running iOS 6 apps from XCode 4.6.1 on an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.
This is what you need to do:
close all Xcode apps
run Xcode 5 and wait for the devices to be recognised
run Xcode 4.6.3 at the same time
close Xcode 5

Without Xcode 5, all apps you build will be built as iOS 6 apps, and they will run on your device in iOS 6 mode even though your device is running iOS 7. You may want to keep Xcode 4 around for that very purpose, even though Xocde 5 is now in the App Store. I haven't been able to reliably get apps to run as iOS 6 apps when built in Xcode 5.
Yes, you can run iOS6 Apps from Xcode in your iOS7 device.
They will run in a compatibility mode which is suppose to be like running the app in a iOS6 device but in reality some stuff may not work as expected. I have experienced problems with rotations, UIAlerViews and other components from the SDK.
The mode in which apps run on iOS7 is determined by the Base SDK used to link the executable. If you link against the iOS 6 SDK (included with Xcode 4.6.3) your app will run under iOS 7 but look and behave like running under iOS 6.
In my case, i changed Build Settings -> Build Options -> Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C to Default compiler then it's resolved.
Yes you can Run Your IOS 6 app in to IOS 7 but Sometimes its Graphics not Display Correctly
or it Might be Crash in IOS 7 sometimes...
so Better you use Autolayout in your ios 6 app and run in your ios7 device..
I was unable to upgrade MacOS from 10.7.5 to 10.8.x and that is why I could not install Xcode5 on my MAC. I downloaded Xcode5 but due to incompatibility it can not be installed.
I was able to run app using XCode 4.6 in debug mode on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 (and can't express enough how happy i got after that)
Steps:
Use incompatible Xcode5 (copy it from the dmg image to somewhere else, there will be a cross sign in it) and right click on it and Click "show package contents".
Go to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs and copy the iPhoneOS7.0.sdk file in the corresponding folder in Xcode4.6 after showing its package contents.
Go to Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport and copy the 7.0 and 7.0.3(11B508) file in the corresponding folder in Xcode4.6 after showing package contents.
Now when you open Xcode4.6 your project Base SDK should be 7.0 and if your device is not detected yet, disconnect and reconnect your device so that it starts "getting symbol files from iPhoneXYZ"
Hope this helps someone.
One more important thing, in your scheme Debugger should be set to "LLDB"
To test iOS 6 apps on iOS device you need to have xcode 4 and xcode 5 on your development machine.
Step 1. Run Xcode 5 and run the project on the ios 7 device.
Step 2. Run Xcode 4 and now you will find the ios 7 device listed in the scheme menu of xcode 4.
Step 3. Run your project and enjoy.
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)])
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
// iOS 7(x)
I am currently using Xcode 3.2.5 for developing my project. But, i was very impressed with Xcode 4 and want to try it out.
Can i have both the versions on my mac and try them out..???
if i install Xcode 4 and remove my previous version, will it effect my current project???
Thankyou
This is possible, but if I'm not mistaken will only work if you download Xcode 4 from the iOS Developer Center. When installing Xcode 4, make sure you install it in a separate directory from the default otherwise it will overwrite 3.2.5.
If you install Xcode 4 from the Mac App Store, you won't have the choice and all prior versions of Xcode will be removed.
yes... install the xcode 4 in a separate directory ...
