I have updated my XCode to the latest 5.0 version. But recently I noticed that the AppStore still offering update-option for the XCode. When I checked the installed XCode version, it shows 5.0. What's that suppose to mean? Has it been updated or not?
Restart the computer, then open the App Store back up and if it is still there then it is nothing to worry about.

After my iPhone 13 updated to iOS 15.6, Xcode 13.4.1 no longer was able to debug apps on the device. Many posts and Xcode support recommend that I roll back to Xcode 13.3.1.
So I renamed Xcode to "Xcode 13.4.1", downloaded the xip for 13.3.1 and also confirmed that I am running the previous version, via the About menu.
Yet I still get the following error:
Failed to prepare device for development. This operation can fail if
the version of the OS on the device is incompatible with the installed
version of Xcode. You may also need to restart your mac and device in
order to correctly detect compatibility.
I have cleaned the build folder, I also downloaded the 15.5 image, renamed it to 15.6, and placed it in the DeviceSupport folder. But it nothing has worked.
I don't know if Xcode uses any config files that I need to clean, or anything else I can't think of. Has anyone been through this?
Xcode 13.4 (build 13F100) has a known issue preparing devices running iOS 15.6 beta and is not officially supported. The fix is to wait for a newer build of 13.4.x Xcode.
Anecdotally some have said it works after disconnecting the phone and restarting both the phone and the Mac.
There are two workarounds:
The official workaround from Apple is to install Xcode 13.3.1. You have tried this. The majority of the config files are inside the Xcode directory. You can download AppCleaner and have it show you everything it would delete if you allowed it to uninstall Xcode. For me that list was 11 GB and 39 files. I'd exam those files and possibly make copies of anything outside /Applications/Xcode.app before allowing it to remove.
Navigate to
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ and duplicate the 15.5 folder with a new name of 15.6. If this works, it is much safer.
I updated to Xcode 7 from the app store, but when I open Xcode the version still shows 6.2? 6.2 was my previous version. I also had to update my Mac OS from Mavericks to Yosemite in order to install Version 7 which I did.
Additionally, when I got the Apple Developer member center and click on Xcode version 7.0.1 it takes me to the app store and the app store update button states OPEN, but when I open the version states 'Version 6.2 (6C131e)' What's going on?
No idea what is actually happening, but this same thing happened to me. I tried enabling the Apstore debug menu and resetting things, but ultimately nothing i tried worked. I ended up uninstalling Xcode (just put it in the trash and empty) and installing fresh fixed it for me.
I had previously had the version 7 beta alongside App store Xcode (6.3 in my case), so maybe that is part of the problem?
I recently updated Xcode to version 6.4. In the App Store it says I have version 6.4 installed, but when I run Xcode it says version 6.3.2.
Does anyone know how I run Xcode version 6.4? Do I need to uninstall and then reinstall Xcode?
I installed it using the App Store and updated through the App Store as well.
So while I was unable to find out where Xcode 6.3.2 or 6.4 was installed on my mac, I uninstalled Xcode by dragging the application to the trash can and emptying it as recommended by Apple.
I then reinstalled Xcode 6.4 from the App Store and it appears to be working.
While it is a simple thing, I thought I would share as sometimes the simple solutions are the ones we don't think about.
I have been frustrated that I have had to use the very buggy XCode 4.5 to build to my device after having upgraded to iOS 6 .
Unfortunately, this version of Xcode for some reason does not allow my app to push or pop view controllers... an issue that completely goes away when I switch back to XCode 4.3.2.
I wanted to be able to use XCode 4.3.2 to build to my iOS 6 device, but this is officially not supported in 4.3.2 because it does not support anything greater than 5.x.
Is there a workaround or fix for this?
Here is a fix for the issue:
1) When you install the latest developer release of XCode, leave the previous version on your computer
2) Make sure the previous version of XCode is quit and then open the developer release version and open the Organizer window
3) Open the old version of XCode and open the Organizer window
4) Click back on the old version of XCode and your device should now show under the run scheme drop-down menu. You should now be able to build and run on your "unsupported" device.
NOTE: This worked for me with XCode 4.3.2 and XCode 4.5 building on iOS 6 for the iPhone 4S. It may or may not work on future versions of XCode or iOS.
I hardly ever get out of Xcode. I was receiving this error "unsupported device (null)" and I tried clean, switching USB ports, switching devices to no avail.
I exited and reentered Xcode without even unplugging my device and it fixed the problem. When the "unsupported device" is given, I noticed that no icon (like a little iPhone) next to my device name was displayed. After I restarted Xcode, I saw the icon and knew my problem was resolved.
Hey I am upgrading to Xcode 3.2.6 now to test my app on 4.3 device as I will apply for the developer license tomorrow. Does the Xcode install itself over the old one or should I be worried about something?
You have nothing to worry about if you mean upgrade (not downgrade).
Xcode installs over itself, unless you choose a different install directory. Theres nothing to worry about, you can always do a complete uninstall and re-install a previous version (If you have it saved somewhere, I have the SDK's saved since iPhone SDK 3.0)
