Did I miss something? I updated my iPhone to 5.1 and now Xcode won't install developer apps on it. Here's from the Organizer:
OS Installed on User's iPhone
5.1 (9B179)
Xcode Supported iOS Versions
Latest
5.0 (9A334)
4.3
4.2
You have to download Xcode 4.3.1, but they try to force it through the app store and a lot of people are having problems with it. If you want to get the download directly, go to Xcode section of the iOS dev center: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/index.php
Don't click the "View in Mac App Store" button - instead click the link at the bottom that reads: Looking for additional developer tools? View Downloads
Log in. Unfortunately, paid members only.
The 3rd or 4th item on the list will be Xcode 4.3.1 for Lion. You can download the DMG there.
Hope this helps!
The current Xcode doesn't have the latest iOS 5.1 SDK (not to mention it looks like Apple took down the beta builds). You'll have to wait until Apple updates Xcode.

We would like to target iOS 5.1 and above.
We have one device with iOS 6.0 and one with iOS 5.0.
Is there a way (without jailbreaking) to upgrade the iOS 5.0 to iOS 5.1?
thanks,
Isn't it possible to just download the iOS 5.1 ipsw from somewhere Here for instance and just install it via iTunes by holding the alt-button and clicking restore and then selecting your ipsw-file?
It might still be possible, as long as Apple is still signing iOS 5.1, which I think they are. Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=757
Then, just do these steps.
Once you have 5.1.1 firmware
Open iTunes
For Mac; click option/restore in Itunes and select 5.1.1 firmware you just downloaded and confirm restore.
Hopefully that will work. Worst case scenario, iTunes tells you that you can't upgrade. But I believe that should still work. But you better move fast.
Is is possible to submit the app with base SDK iOS5.1 and with Default-568h#2x.png, so that application will not leave an extra black space?
Our normal application is working fine on iPhone5 leaving a black space from top and bottom, but if we just include "Default-568h#2x.png", will it work fine (the view displayed in complete area of iPhone5)?
There are lots of dependencies to support iOS6, so is it possible to submit the app with "Default-568h#2x.png" and base SDK iOS5.1?
It is impossible to submit the iPhone 5 full screen app which is built with Xcode 4.4.1 and iOS 5.1 SDK. I did the same thing to support both old devices of armv6/iOS 3.x and iPhone 5. But I got this reject message from itunesconnect. I think it is the new policy of App Store.
"Invalid Launch Image - You app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later."
just edit the size of Default-568h#2x.png with the same one of Default#x2.png splash screens, don't rename it, adjust only it size, it's how it worked for me, seems the binary does gets faked, my app it's waiting for the review don't know yet if will be approved.
I do not see any policy from Apple to forbid developers to submit apps based on SDK 5.1. My understanding is that if you develop on SDK 5.1 you should also test your app on iOS 6.
Having said that, iOS 6 SDK provides good features to help developers manage the layout, and Apple surely wants the developers to use the latest.
To avoid "Invalid Launch Image" problem on submitting app with iPhone 5 launch image using XCode 4.4.1, please following these steps:
Archive your App under XCode 4.5
Open Organizer, show your App folder in Finder, enter your App’s Products/Applications folder, copy Info.plist and archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent to your home folder.
Open your Info.plist (~/Info.plist) using XCode, and modify MinimumOSVersion from 4.3 to 4.0
Close XCode 4.5 and open XCode 4.4.1, open your App project and open your Target’s “Build Phrases” tab, add a Run Script, with shell “/bin/sh” and “cp -f ~/Info.plist ~/archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent “${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${EXECUTABLE_NAME}.app”
Re-archive your App, and it should pass App Store’s rule checker and in “Waiting for review” soon.
The app I submitted late October got online in early November. Someone said he used XCode 4.3.2 to submit app in the same way. It should be working for XCode 4.*
For more information, please also read this blog article.
I submitted by mid-feb my binary compiled on Xcode3.2.6 and only had the Default.png, my App got rejected due to a bug related to the 4" screens, some stupid sizing junk, fixed it and tested on Xcode4.6/SDK6.1 which requires that 568h#2x.png file, I added that image to my set , still compiled it on 3.2.6 and submitted my fix and it got automatically rejected with the same msg as here.
Then I just pulled that 568 file out and resubmitted hoping that since it went thru about 2 weeks ago it'd get past again, I triple checked my code on sdk6.1, recompiled/ressubmitted and got the same rejection so it seems like they are enforcing that min Xcode version NOW.
BUT .... guess what? I cleaned everything and twice and rebuilt & decided to give it a last shot, resubmitted and it passed!!! I'm on waiting 4 review now.
I've solved that issue the following way: I'm using iOS SDK 5.1 and Xcode 4.4.1.
Now I've added simply the Default-568h#2x.png to the upper folder of my App in Xcode but not with Xcode 4.5.1.
Then I've built the App through iPhone 5.1 Simulator and finally I've quit the Simulator.
Then go to ../users/myNameUser/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/... search for your App and Copy the complete folder (e.g. F83221EA-1HB4-4947-9DH4-43D8QZ3FFEA3).
Then go to ../users/myNameUser/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.0/Applications/ and paste in the copied folder from the 5.1 Simulator.
Finally open your Applications folder go to your Xcode App (4.5.1) then right click and show package content: Go to ../contents/applications/ and double click "iPhone Simulator.app".
Now you are running the new iPhone Simulator with your iOS SDK 5.1 App. Great job? Now you can change the hardware of the simulator to the new iPhone Retina-4-inch.
And you can see how your App will look like on the new iPhone 5.
I've sent my new App version by that way for review - well see if it'll get through.

By the way it could be interesting to run Apps from Xcode 4.4 on real iOS 6 Device?
How to do that: Use iOS 6 device for testing with Xcode 4.4 and iOS 5 SDK
I recently upgraded xcode to 4.2.1 (with macOS 10.7.3).
I have two iphone which one is 4GS and the other is 3GS. And when I upgraded both phone to iOS 5.1, 4GS works well but 3GS not works with following error message.
The version of iOS on “Test iPhone” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK.
xcode says it support from iOS 5.0 (9A334).
And I want to know if this is from my mis-configuration of device or officially iPhone 3GS is not supported yet.
Is there anyone who suffers similar problem ?
Well, you may want to go to xcode 4.3.1, which was released recently along with the 5.1 SDK.
After the installation you will have to re-install simulators for older iOS and debug support for older devices respectively even older iOS versions.
Out of the top of my head: In the top left corner of xcode in the drop down list where you select your build target and the targetting device/simulator there should be some menu item "install more simulators" or so. Click on that and follow the GUI. It is quite selfexplaining but the downloads may take some time.
To develop in iOS 5.1 you have to upgrade sdk to latest one. I cant understand how you'r 4Gs worked fine
iOS project. Base SDK 4.2, deployment target 3.0. A customer is complaining about an issue on iOS 3.1 (he has an old device).
I tried installing Xcode 3.2.3 - the oldest there is for download. It does not offer iOS 3.1 as a test target. Does anyone know how can I enable older versions of iOS on the simulator?
The box also has Xcode 4 (in a different folder). Could it be the case that they're sharing the iOS simulator, and the backwards-incompatible one from Xcode 4 is getting in the way?
There is no substitute for testing on a real device.
I've had a problem with my iPod touch (3rd gen, ios 5.0) crashing in one app. Every day. The dev won't buy, beg, borrow or steal a real iPod touch to test it on so he can fix it. As a user this is extremely frustrating.
EDIT:
The final versions of Xcode with the iPhone SDK, as it was called then, are not available from Apple's download page, but the direct links still work.
The direct links can be found at:
http://chris-fletcher.com/2010/08/28/howto-install-iphone-sdk-2-0-3-1-for-xcode-3-2/
If you use the latest Xcode, you can install device debugging support via the Downloads->Components section, a la: http://cl.ly/3U1V1G3W2p2E1G29342e
http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2010/04/old-versions-of-iphone-sdk.html
Some of the links are dead though. Apple is removing those old files little by little. Get them while supplies last.
It seems that in the future, we can just use the non-beta iPhone SDK to develop for both at once.
But for now, the only way to develop for iPad seems to be to use the SDK 3.2 beta. However, if I install that, Apple clearly states I should not submit apps to the app store with it.
I'm an independent, one-machine developer. Is there a way I can continue to upgrade my existing iPhone apps while still developing for iPad?
The Best way to do this is to install the 3.2 SDK beta in a location other than '/Developer'. On the 'Custom Install on Macintosh HD', select 'Other' from the Popup button, and point the installation to somewhere like: '/Developer-Beta'.
You can then run Xcode from /Developer/Applications for your iPhone apps, and Xcode from /Developer-Beta/Applications for your iPad apps.
If I'm reading the agreement correctly, the ban on submitting apps with the 3.2 beta applies only to the SDK, not the tools. If you set your app's base SDK to an SDK earlier than 3.2 (which it probably already is anyway), you can then build with the 3.1 and earlier SDKs by selecting them from the "Overview" menu in Xcode.
I've submitted updates to my iPhone apps built with the 3.0 SDK by the 3.2 beta tools, and they were accepted with no issue. As long as you aren't building on the actual new SDK, you should be fine.
EDIT: I don't work for Apple, I am not a lawyer, blah-blah. But it's worked for me, and the warning only specifies the "iPhone SDK 3.2". The Xcode tools aren't mentioned.
If you install 3.2 the Active SDK menu looks like
Xcode http://img.skitch.com/20100310-xkbqnbr6h4f2q55wk2wppjx3h2.preview.jpg
However, under Project settings you can change the SDK as follows:
Xcode http://img.skitch.com/20100310-xqkuracw73jb5y7uwtt7yurjs1.preview.jpg
So you can developed for any OS version using the same machine, etc.
