I've just installed iPhone SDK 4.0 and it appears that the previous version of SDK has vanished from my system.
I was looking for any links to download the previous version of iPhone SDK to download, but I cannot find anything.
Any ideas where I could download it?
Any new submission or update to appstore must be on IOS 4. The older IPhone sdk's are no more available for download at http://developer.apple.com/. If you think that you still need old version (for example: to run some old example), then try searching for xcode in the torrent sites. You can find there almost any version (at own risk!)

As the the Question asks,
I currently sport xcode 3.2.3 with iOS 4.0.1 but I want to test on my iPhone which is stuck on 4.0.2
Thus I cannot do so until the SDK for 4.0.2 is accessible from xcode.
Where can I download a patch update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 because the iPhone members page seems to only link me to the package including xcode 3.2.3 with iOS4.0.2 SDK
I don't want to download the whole thing because it's > 2.5 gigs and my New Zealand internet Connection is shizenhouzen.
I can't restore to a previous version, because for some reason I only have a previous back up of the iPhone on my now defunct windows PC.
I'm afraid you have to download the entire SDK - Apple do not provide 'patches' (4.0.1 to 4.02, for example) AFAIK, and I'd be nervous about downloading anything that claims it is a patch.
It's a common grumble, twitter is a fun place when apple push these .1 SDK updates out :)
You do have to download the whole thing to upgrade. It really sucks. :-(
I wish I could remember to download the SDK before upgrading my devices.
You can still build adhoc releases of your app and install them using itunes if you're in a real bind - it's just the debugger, console viewing and automatic installation of builds that won't work at all.
Im trying to get my xCode to contain all iPhone sdk's from 4 back to 2. But when I download the DMG files, it seems to only allow me to have an xCode with SDK versions 2 - 3.1 OR 3.2 - 4, not all together.
How can I install the SDK's into one xCode so I can build for all different OS versions?
Thanks
EDIT::
Ok so I know I can set the base SDK in xcode, but the options I have are only 3.2 or 4.0, I cant seem to install the 3.1 or earlier SDK's how can this be done?
Final Edit::
Ok got it solved, basically you only need to have an older version of xcode installed to get earlier simulators running, otherwise the articles given to me in my answers as well as others were very helpful:

Is there any particular reason you need to do this? Are you trying to develop applications that will run on iOS 4.x and older versions (3.x)? You can still develop applications which will run on iOS 3.1.x with the iOS 4.x sdk.
Take a look at the following article: http://www.clarkcox.com/blog/2009/06/23/sdks-and-deployment-targets/
I tried the same thing some time ago, and it seems some minor SDK versions are automatically removed during the install process...
You may tried to copy them before installing the other XCode versions, and re-install them just after.
They are located in /Library/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/ and /Library/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/.
Note that you can also choose to install each XCode version in a separate directory.
You will lose a lot of hard disk space, and you'll have multiple versions of XCode, each one with different SDK versions.
I recently downloaded the iPhone SDK 4 along with Xcode and neglected to install 3.0 and 3.1. I've since deleted the install package. I of course can re-download the whole package, but for future reference, I wonder if you are able to download individual SDK versions separately and independent of Xcode, like you would with almost any open source package.
No, there's no way to download just the SDK.
If such a thing were available there would be a link to it on the downloads page.
I've only found the full download (iPhone SDK 3.1.2 with Xcode 3.2.1) on the developer center. I haven't been able to find something that will update me from 3.0 to 3.1.2? If I already have the 3.0 SDK do I still have to download the full 2.5GB version.
Thanks!
You have to re-download the whole thing for each major update. The installer is smart enough to "patch" your current install to the new version, but there isn't an update-only installer.
I have downloaded the latest iphone SDK which support developing for the ipad 3.2 and iphone 3.1.2
However 2 days ago the firmware 3.1.3 has been released by apple so my question is how to make my SDK to support this new firmware without re-downloading the whole SDK which is more than 2 gigs?
Thanks
You can install them to different paths. I recommend installing the 3.1.3 SDK to /Developer and the 3.2 SDK to /Developer (Prerelease). Then, launch whichever version of Xcode you want to use.
Maybe you can simply symlink the 3.1.2 SDK to 3.1.3? I think that was advised in the past when a minor update came out.
Unfortunately, it is the additional tools, not the SDK that take up a large chunk of the 2.5GB+ download size. The official response is there are no SDK only downloads. So you're kind of stuck with the download.
If you're looking to try make 2 SDKs available to you at once, well that's a different question.
