I have Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5.1.1 installed on my mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Now I want to install Xcode 6 and keep Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5.1.1 installed.
Is this a good idea or would the old Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5.1.1 interfere with the new version Xcode 6?
From the official web site:
Xcode 6 requires a Mac running OS X version 10.9.4 or later or 10.10.
Install XCode 6 on OSX 10.8.5 not possible.
For manage all xcode installation, You can install all xcode version in your mac, in application folder rename xcode make retain all xcode version without replace it, but xcode comes with compablility of mac os x version so if you want to install xcode 6 you need to update of mac version 10.9.4 or later. Hope so You can understand.

I got a working mac os lion 10.7.2 system, and I don't want to upgrade to mountain lion so I can begin ios 6 development. Which Xcode version should I install so I can get ios 6 set up to work? My current Xcode is 4.2, how to install ios 6 sdk and simulator in it?
To do iOS 6 development you need Xcode 4.5. It should still work on Lion and can be installed through the Mac App Store. The iOS 6 SDK and Simulator will be automatically installed with it.

If You have the developer account then download the latest version of xcode with it's .dmg file and also you find the older version of the xcode i would prefer to instal new version of the xcode 4.5 to building the IOS 6 Application.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on my macbook. In my macbook I had iOS SDK 4.3 and Xcode 4.2. Now I am downloading Xcode 4.4 for Mountain Lion.
In my iMac I have OSX Lion and it has iOS 5.1 SDK with Xcode 4.3.
What I want to know is should I download again iOS SDK 5.1 for my macbook? OR could I copy Developer folder from my iMac to macbook?
You can copy the downloaded App file that you used to install the SDK. The app file can then be run on different Mac systems.
You can't separate them, so you will end up downloading it anyway. No need to copy it from your other computer.

ios 5.1 with xcode 4.2 for iOS development
I updated my iPhone to iOS 5.1.
My operating system is Snow Leopard.
Now I need the sdk 5.1 to develop, with xcode 4.2.
Where can I download it?
Any suggest?
Solution:
Downgrade to ios5.0 or update to Lion
To get Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard to run code on a device running 5.1 you can do this:
If you have another Mac running Lion + XCode 4.3.1 you can copy the files from:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1 (9B176)
to the equivalent place on your SL Mac: probably
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
and also copy version.plist from the Lion machine in the iPhoneOS.platform folder to the SL machine.
Re-start XCode on the SL machine and re-connect the devices and it seems happy enough.
[Edit: If you don't have access to a machine with Lion+4.3.1 you can get the files out of the 4.3.1 DMG which can be downloaded from Apple here: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion/xcode_4.3.1_for_lion.dmg
then mount the DMG, Show Package Contents on the XCode icon and drill down to
/Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport to
find the files mentioned above.]
In steps:
Stop XCode on SL machine
Disconnect your iphone
Mount the Xcode 4.3.1 image (.dmg that you can download from Apple dev site)
Show package contentes of the Xcode 4.3.1
copy XCode/Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1 (9B176)
to <HD>/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
copy XCode/Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/version.plist
to <HD>/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/
Start Xcode
connect your iphone and it should work.
You can't.
You need to update to Mac OS 10.7 Lion in order to get the latest version of Xcode with the 5.1 SDK.
The last installable version of Xcode on Snow Leopard will be 4.2. Apple really wants developers to keep up to date on everything, whether MacOS or iOS.
If you want to stay on Snow Leopard, download the iOS 5.0.1 firmware of your device on this link : http://www.iphonefirmware.com/firmwares-download.
And do a manual restore on iTunes.
I did it today (March 8, 2012) on my iPad 2 and it works, Apple still seems to sign this iOS version.I guess not for a long time, so do it quickly.
iOS 5.1 is only avalaible in xCode 4.3.1, and its only avalaible in Lion, sorry.
YOu can try changing the version of your mac and faking it to install 4.3.1, but I cannot assure you its going to work...
I've an Intel mac machine with Lion installed on it. I've downloaded Xcode 3 from here on it but when I start the Xcode I couldn't find any of iPhone project templates. I just found the Mac templates.
Xcode 3 ?? Have you tried downloading and installing xcode 4 ? Free in the mac app store ...
Also make sure you have downloaded and install the iOS SDK ...
I had been using Xcode 3.1.3 on Leopard, but I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and upgraded my Xcode to 3.2 with the iOS 4.0 SDK. Now I'm not able to go back to my older Xcode version to build projects for an older OS version.
How can I build applications that target my original model iPhone, which doesn't support iOS 4.0?
There was options to install xCode version at the time of installing xCode Please also select xCode 3.1.3 and 3.0 at the time of installing.
