I installed the latest GM of the iPhone SDK and now I can't build and compile many of the example projects on the Apple iPhone dev site. When I load them, the configuration bar says "Base SDK is missing." It appears the example project I'm trying to build (QuartzDemo) is trying to build against the v3.1.2 SDK. How can I install an older version of the iPhone SDK that works with the latest GM? Or how can I get this project to build with the current GM version of the SDK?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Change the base SDK of the project to 4.0; 3.1.3 and earlier aren't supported.

I had developed an app with base SDK version to iOS 3.2.3 and deployment target as iOS 3.0 .
However, when I have updated my app now, and tried the ad-hoc build to install it on iOS 4 device, it is failing.
Please suggest if I have to make another build with latest base SDK version or I can stick to my current build?
Always build against the latest SDK version and set the Deployment Target according to your needs.
i have download Xcode SDK 4.2(xcode_3.2.5_and_ios_sdk_4.2_final.dmg) from Apple developer site and installed successfully . when open my old xcode project it shows baseSDk missing ,when i try to change project setting ,i have found and set base SDk as 4.2 it works fine
my problem is ,in Base SDk list it shows
(iOS 2.1, iOS 2.2, iOS 2.2.1, iOS 3.0, iOS 3.1, iOS 3.1.2, iOS 3.1.3, iOS 4.2)
There is no iOS 4.0 and iOS 4.1 (which i have used before 4.2). anything wrong in my installation???? Plz help me to correct my mistake
Thanks in advance
This does happen. I generally just use the latest SDK as base SDK. You support the latest version and forget abt the older versions[apple style]. This way your app can take advantage of all the latest functionality.
One thing you must remember is that the Base SDK is different from the deployment target.
base SDK is the latest SDK your project will use and support.
deployment target is found in target->getInfo; this is the minimum version that your app will support.
4.2 is a free upgrade and most of them would upgrade, so i'd set the deployment target as 4.0 or at the least 3.0. who uses 2.x anymore?
if you really want 4.0 and 4.1 as well, you have to install the old 4.1 GM as a parallel Xcode IDE or follow this link and get support for all the versions in a single XCode IDE.

I'd suggest building using 4.2 but follow the link and install all the simulator SDKs for old versions so that you can test the app on those versions of the simulator.
Nothing went wrong here. That's how Apple forces the developers to always use the latest SDK to develop.
Hey,
Am writing an iOS application and want to build it so it will run in iOS version 4.0.1 or later however the only SDK I have installed is iOS 4.2 and am unable to select an earlier version. Does anyone know how I change it so that I can build against earlier versions?
Thanks,
William
You always want to build with the latest SDK, to change which devices you can deploy to simply alter the "ios deployment target" on the project properties to iOS 4.0 or similar
I have a UICatlog project downloaded from apple development library. It was running fine with 3.0 Base SDK, but when I upgrade xCode SDK Version 3.2.3. I am getting an error:
error: There is no SDK with the name or path 'iphoneos3.0'
What do I do?
Change the Base SDK setting in the Project Info to iPhone Device 4.0.
Check that you aren't changing the Base SDK for the project and not the current target. The current target base SDK setting will override the project settings. Also, if you wan't to support older platform versions, make sure you set Deployment target appropriately.
I installed the latest iOS4 SDK which replaced my existing SDKs (so I no longer have anything other than 3.2, 4.0).
I also checked out the latest Three20 from github, and now whenever I'm about to Build a new Three20 app, or even run the samples I get the following error:
Build Three20Core of project Three20Core with configuration Debug
Check dependencies
[BEROR]error: There is no SDK with the name or path 'iphonesimulator3.0'
Is Three20 not yet iOS4 SDK compatible?
You need to change the "Base SDK" in the downloaded project info settings from 3.0 to 3.2 or 4.0
