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 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.

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...
Currently I have Mac OS X Lion and Xcode 4.2 with the iOS 5 SDK. I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5 installed, but I want to run my app with the iOS 4.3.5 SDK.
Which Xcode version has iOS 4.3.5 SDK installed and which Mac OS version supports that version?
Is it possible to downgrade iOS 5 to iOS 4.3.5 on a device?
If you want to test your app on 4.3, launch XCode 4.2, go to preferences, then from the "Downloads" section choose to install the 4.3 Simulator.
I dont remember any xcode version with iOS SDK 4.3.5. Xcode 3.2.6 used to come with 4.3 SDK. In case you want to use 4.3 SDK, you can copy 4.3 SDK into the sdks directory in Xcode 4.2 itself and restart the xcode to use the 4.3 sdk.
My Mac OS X version is 10.6.8 and currently i am having XCode 3.2.5 installed with iOS 4.2 sdk.
I want to run my application on iOS 4.3.5 sdk simulator.
Which XCode version has supporting iOS 4.3.5 sdk?
Thanks!!!
You have a rather old version of Xcode. You should upgrade to Xcode 4.2 and get a new SDK. By default SDK 5 is used. However it is possible to download older SDKs.
Choose Xcode -> Preferences and then Downloads. Press the Componentsbutton and you will have access to support for older stuff. Select the components that you want to download in the list.
It is not possible to install the SDK separate from Xcode, according to this.
XCode => 3.2.6 should work. However, any XCode 4 version should work as well. You'll have to download the IOS4 SDK manually for those, as the current XCode Packages only include the IOS 5 SDK.
I trying to test my iPhone app on real iPhone device having ios 5.0 restored recently.
Now when i connect iPhone to mac in xcode's organizer it is showing orange dot in front of device. Let me tell you that i m using xcode 3.2.6 with ios sdk 4.3 installed on Mac .
this is message i m getting in organizer.
The version of iOS on “Apple’s iPhone” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with 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.
OS Installed on Apple’s iPhone
5.0 (9A334)
Xcode Supported iOS Versions Latest
5.0 (9A334)
4.3.5 (8L1)
4.3.3 (8J2)
4.3 (8F190)
4.2
4.1
4.0
4.0.2
4.0.1
3.2
3.2.2
3.2.1
here u can check that both os installed on iPhone and Xcode Supported ios versions are same.
so i searched a lot for this and i got only one answer that reboot device as well as machine i tried both but both didn't work for me.
what can be the exact solution for this?
I think it is glitch from Apple. I had 3.2.6 and xCode 4 but then 3.2.6 I installed manually 5.0 (9A334) on the SDK Platform SDK. It will show yellow mark that does not recognizes the device.
Here is What I did
Launch 3.2.6 then go to the organizer. If you see the yellow mark on your iOS 5 device then open Xcode 4 and go to the organizer. From the Xcode 4 you will see the green mark. Now close Xcode 4 and Xcode 3 completely using Command + q button. Re-Launch the Xcode 3.2.6. It now changes to Green mark instead. Hope it fixes your problem.
