I want my app to run on iOS 5.0 and all newer versions. Should I do all my development work in Xcode 4.2.1, or use the Xcode 4.5 beta? If I implement maps, then will devices running ios 5.0 show google maps while future devices running ios 6.0 show apple maps?
Thanks for your help.
XCode 4.5 beta is for testing and report bugs to apple, test iOS 6, etc. You cannot submit an app with it.
I'd use Xcode 4.4.1 it's the latest non-beta version.

I have a major problem with the localization of my app.
Since I updated Xcode to version 6.1.1 (6A2008a) with the new simulator iOS 8.1, I found that the iOS 8.1 simulator no longer works with Localizable.string.
When I turn the stimulator with the version of iOS 7.1 my app works fine and the language changes according to the setting made on the device. Why does this problem occur on 8.1?
Thanks
As mentioned in the Xcode 6.1 release notes, this is a known bug in iOS 8.1 simulator runtime. Please try iOS 8.2 beta in Xcode 6.2 beta, which contains the fix.
I have existing iphone app which is developed using XCode 4.2 and base sdk as iOS 5.0,Compiler is APPLE LLVM compiler 3.0.
Now as the iOS 6 is upcoming am I supposed to (or rather ought to) rebuild this app with latest XCode and the base SDK (i.e. XCode 4.5, base sdk as iOS 6.0, Compiler :-Apple LLVM Compiler 4.1) or will I be OK submitting my upgrade with older XCode and base SDK settings?
Will I be facing any issue while submitting my app built with older settings?
if your app works fine with iOS5 and you don't need any futures from iOS6, then leave it like this. iOS6 suppose to support the apps build with previous iOS. So, it means your app should work.
I have upgrade to xcode4.5 from 4.4, but i can't find ios simulator 4 or prior within it. I open Xcode menu, preference, downloads, i can see simulator5 and 5.1 only. I am not sure whether xcode4.5 support ios simulator 4 and debugging with ios4.3 and prior.i know almost iphone and ipad people upgrade their ios to 5 already. but we have some project runs in ios 4.3.does someone know how to install simulator 4 in xcode 4.5?
thanks in advance.
Looks like it has been removed from xcode 4.5 on Mountain Lion:
xcode 4.5 runs ios 4.0 simulator (NOT)
According to Apple you can still set the deployment target for 4.3 though:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3461
The minimum supported deployment target with Xcode 4.5 or later is iOS 4.3.
I have xCode 4.2, and I've done all the steps about the $99 ios dev program.
Now I need to test my project on my device, which is an iPhone4 in 4.2.1, but I failed to run the app on the device, where the xcode says Xcode cannot run using the selected device.
But in the Organizer my device seems well, because there is a green bulb nearby, like it is in the picture:
Does anyone know the solution to this problem? Should I find something like 4.2.1 sdk to add to my Xcode?
Thanks a lot for your answering!
Download latest version of the SDK, the one supporting iOS 5.0.1. Use the latest SDK as the base SDK. This is not necessarily the oldest version of iOS your app will support.
If you'd like to support/test on devices running iOS 4.2, just go to project build settings and set "iOS Deployment Target" to 4.2.
Well you know they just released this new XCode 4 version thing...... I am still using version 3.x.x.
Is it mandatory to use XCode 4 for my iPhone apps to be approved?
Not at all. You can still build, sign and submit iOS Apps using XCode 3.
No, but it is recommended. You can use XCode 4 with base SDK 4.3 and target an older iOS version.
You can download iOS SDK 4.3 with either Xcode 4 or Xcode 3.2.6 from Apple's iOS developer page. Remember that the Xcode version number is not the SDK version number.
You should always use the latest SDK, even if you're targeting an older iOS version. As I understand it, Apple will sometimes fix bugs in older OS versions. In order to get those fixes, though, you need to use the latest SDK.
unless you don't want to try Git integration you should be fine :) I'm struck with xcode 3.2.5 and shortcuts. And I hate iTunes like toolbar for no reason :(
