So I attempted at giving Xcode 4 a swing, after uninstalled XCode 3, and it failed me.With all the shortcuts out of place i didn't feel at home. So i uninstalled XCode 4, and began installing Xcode 3 once again. but this time. I am no longer allowed to download the Xcode Toolset.!

At first i assumed that the Xcode toolset would someone works it way into the instillation and it would all work out. but after installing this more that 3x on my computer I cannot seem to FIND XCODE at ALL! nor can i find iOS simulator or any other software. What do i have to do inorder to fix this?
I think this is happening because I inappropriately uninstalled Xcode 3 the first time, I used an application called App Zapper rather than running the -sudeo command...
You can install Xcode 3 on Lion using the following method:
Mount the Xcode 3.2.6 DMG
Open Terminal
Enter the commands:
export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1
open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg"
Use at your own risk as Xcode 3 is not supported by Apple on OSX Lion.
If you are installing alongside Xcode 4, make sure to install into a different directory (create this in Finder first), and then you can untick all the boxes apart from the Essentials and it'll run just fine.

Just a heads-up: on Mountain Lion and Mavericks (and quite possibly on other versions as well, but I only "tested" this two...) this causes a kernel panic at startup, so I would advise against installing Xcode 3 on them.
If you already did that, and need some help, here and here are some information.

According to the documentation should be able to choose which iOS version the simulator should run, however only the latest 4.3.2 is listed under "Hardware/Version".
The helps says:
"To set the iOS release used in the simulation environment, choose Hardware > Version, and choose the version you want to test on."
I don't want to support 3.x (although it would be nice) but at least I want to simulate my app on 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0.
What's going on? Why aren't they listed?
UPDATE:
I'm on Lion so I cannot install an earlier version of Xcode. Before my Upgrade I could test different versions easily.
the problem is that you have no other Simulator SDK installed which can be used. As #dorada has mentioned you have to install an older Xcode which in fact doesn't work because you're using Lion. I haven't tried it with Lion but principally it should work like before with Snow Leopard.
I'm referencing to my other answer how to get an older Xcode (don't know if it's still working)
After you have an older Xcode version, mount the image an navigate with terminal to that volume. There should be a hidden folder Packages. open that folder with open . and locate the two .pkg files you need (e.g. iPhoneSDK4_0.pkg and iPhoneSimulatorSDK4_0.pkg) and install both.
They will appear in your root directory and you have to move them to your Developer dir (don't simply overwrite, it will delete all other SDKs. go to the last different folder it should be iPhoneSimulator4.0.sdk\ and copy that one)
DONE (and at that point I have verified it: it works on my Lion. I used the dvd image which I have started backup'ing since 3.2.1)
Although iPortable has the correct answer I decided to post a step-by-step guide which is easer to follow:
Download Xcode 3.1
Mount the dmg file
In Finder menu select "Go\Go to folder" and enter "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages"
Install the simulators you need (Double click)
Copy the simulation folders from /Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/ to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
If your have some SDK missing Install the missing SDK from "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages" and copy subfolders from /Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ (for me they were all there from 3.1 to 4.3)
you may download the older ios sdk / xcode from . https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
(i found this answer in another stack overflow topic actually, but now i can not seem to find that question!)
Open Xcode and in the menu at the top left, where you select what device to run on, click "More Simulators..."
The download section of Xcode preferences will open,
Click the "Components" tab.
You will see a list of simulators that can be installed, click install on version you need.
The simulator will need to restart to install.
To run the newly installed version of the simulator just select it from the run menu in Xcode.
You actually have to install previous simulator versions, they aren't there on a new install.
Maybe you can search and download them somewhere? - we keep them on a shared drive at the office.
After installing the Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard, I noticed there was a choice for iPad 3.2 Simulator, but using it just brings up some alerts that say "iOS Simulator could not find the SDK. The SDK may need to be reinstalled." and another alert that says "Simulated application quit. Click Relaunch to try again." with Quit, Switch SDK, and Relaunch buttons.
I can successfully use iPhone 4.0 Simulator, iPhone 4.1 Simulator, iPad 4.2 Simulator, etc up to iPad/iPhone 5.0 Simulator, but really would like to have iPad 3.2 Simulator and iPhone 3.1.3 Simulator and earlier down to 3.0 if possible.
Our apps generally run all the way back to 3.0 and we occasionally receive bug reports from earlier iOS users, and would love to be able to debug these issues more effectively.
I tried the technique summarized by Tibidabo and although I am able to copy the simulator folders as mentioned, and though they show up as choices in Xcode, I cannot get them to actually run as simulators and I get the same problem alerts mentioned above.
What are other developers doing to support debugging of older iOS versions?
Go to Project Settings -> Summary an change Deployment Target.
I am developing an app with Xcode 4.0.2 and iOS 4.3. Now I would like to upgrade to Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5 so that I could make my app ready when iOS 5 releases in October.
I am told by Apple's website that I should not submit apps that are built by Xcode 4.2 and should do it with the older Xcode 4.0.2, since the Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5 thing is still in beta.
But in the following few weeks I still need to have newer versions of my app submitted to App Store. So my question is,
If I upgrade my Xcode to 4.2, is it possible for me to switch back to Xcode 4.0.2?
If yes, how?
Thanks in advance!
You can simply install two versions of Xcode at the same time. During the installation it will let you choose the destination folder; you can pick another folder. For example, I use /Developer/Xcode (4.2). (However, if you did install 4.2 over 4.0.2, I don't think you would have a problem if you just ran the 4.0.2 installer again to downgrade.)

Installation
The Xcode installer will create the folder /Developer on the root of your boot partition, and place the Xcode developer tools and SDKs in this folder. If you have a previous version of Xcode you would like to preserve, you can copy the existing installation from /Developer to another folder to prevent having it updated automatically by the installer.
I would be cautious of this note (possible problems from incompatibility of tools???)
NOTE: The Xcode installer also installs system components and UNIX command line tools in a shared location on your Mac. Only one version of these components can exist on a computer at a time, and the last installed version replaces any previously installed set.
I always make sure I have a bootable drive with a decent working copy of xcode ready for releases in case I need to push a quick fix.
You can install 2 XCode in different folders.
Then you can switch back and forth.
Can I have multiple Xcode versions installed?
Simple question, I want to know if anyone has had any weird or annoying problems with developing iphone apps in Xcode after upgrading to Lion. I remember having issues when Snow Leopard first launched. Are there any early adopter penalties here?
A big one for me: no more PowerPC emulation via Rosetta in 10.7 - important to think about if you need to do testing for legacy PowerPC code.
Fortunately you can still use Xcode 3.2.6 though if you don't want or need to use Xcode 4.1 - if Xcode 3.2.6 is installed prior to upgrading t Lion then it should still work, alternatively there are instructions available for installed Xcode 3.2.6 when Lion is already installed.
I just had the problem, that I had to upgrade to Xcode 4.1 because lower versions of Xcode don't work on Lion. ;-)
You have to download the latest Xcode 4.1 to do development on Lion. 4.0.x won't work.
You also have to learn how to scroll down pages like a flight simulator (you can turn it off). If you got used to the neat gestures in Snow Leopard, then get ready to completely start over again with new ones (no going back on Lion). Three finger web page navigation doesn't work, 4 finger application switching doesn't work, and a new "explosion" gesture is used for desktop and mission control.
The only thing i have noticed so far is that if you run Xcode in fullscreen mode, simulator can't be on same screen... And yes, you have to download new Xcode 4.1 from appstore... Everything else is pretty much amazing :-D
When you try to install Xcode 3.2.6 on Lion, Xcode toolset is greyed out and marked as skip. There is a simpler way to install it then those once described above. Here is the steps:
Mount the developer tools dmg
Open Terminal and run these two commands:
export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1
open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg"
Enjoy.
Be prepared for the new Xcode to remove the /Developer directory as a part of its cleanup process. This will wipe out QT in the process since it's installed there as well.
So if you want to keep QT intact you should skip Xcode's cleanup step or install a fresh QT afterwards.
I need to build one iOS app and one Mac OS app on the same machine. Mac OS app needs to run on 10.5, and even though Apple claims you can build with the 10.6 SDK and run on 10.5 by setting the right target value, it's not true. Simple things, like the name/version of libssl, are different on 10.5 and 10.6 which makes this impossible.
Anyway, so I'm about to try and install XCode 3.2.6 on the same machine as I have XCode 4 on - any tips/gotchas/guides?
Thanks!
That should work fine, however it's best to install XCode4 last. So if you install XCode3 you'll want to re-install XCode4 as well after (to keep the system tools at the latest version).
I'd also recommend XCode4 go into /Developer, and XCode3 goes into a folder with some other name, as it's had more time to be hammered out to work installed in different locations.
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 ...
