How can I install dashcode (part of Apple's developer suite)? [duplicate] - xcode

This question already has an answer here:
Can't find Dashcode after installing Xcode 4 on brand new MacBook
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I've installed XCode from the App Store, but it doesn't include Dashcode. I found this (somewhat out of date) solution, that says to just download XCode from the Apple Developer Connection and it's included in that bundle, but I don't think I can/want to do that, since I already have XCode installed from the App Store.
What should I do-- short of UNinstalling Xcode via the App Store (which appears to include only XCode, not Dashcode with it), then downloading the "big" Xcode package from Developer Connection?
thanks

In Xcode, choose the menu Xcode > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools....
Then download "Dashcode for Xcode".
The disk image contains the Dashcode app itself; you can put it wherever you want, and there is no need to install any packages or bundles.
(This is all explained in the "What's New In Xcode" documentation.)

How to update my xcode if i download it from website?

I download my Xcode from: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and so I can't update it by the appStore , and I don't want download a whole new version. Is there anyway to update it just like use appStore?
Is there anyway to update it just like use appStore?
As rmaddy points out in a comment, updating from the App Store would download a whole new version of Xcode anyway. Your best bet is to install Xcode from the App Store, or download your preferred version from Apple's developer site and install that.

XCode 5 and XCode 5.1 side by side

I have some apps on app store that support iOS 5 and above. XCode 5.1 doesn't support iOS 5 any more.
Can i have both, xcode 5 and xcode 5.1 side by side?
I m aware the fact that the update from xcode 5 to 5.1 is not a .dmg and just a simple update file.
Any help will great!
10X!
Yes, you can download Xcode as .dmg file from Apple server.
You need to go to this link:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Make sure you logged in. In the list, you can find Xcode and download it as .dmg file
make duplicate in of Xcode in Application folder with other name, I have 4 and 5 for older projects

Facebook SDK for iOS6/Xcode 4.5 not working [duplicate]

file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice error for static libraries on iOS, anyway to bypass?
Recently upgraded Xcode and my iOS devices to the latest respective versions and i'm now unable to build an app using the Facebook SDK (version 3.0.8) for a device - building on the Simulator works fine.
Error I'm receiving whilst trying to build:
file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7s slice: ....FacebookSDK.framework/FacebookSDK for architecture armv7s
I've noticed that on the iOS SDK landing page (http://developers.facebook.com/ios/) they have this peice of text..
Upgrade to 3.0 SDK. We will be adding support for the much anticipated iOS 6 integration to the SDK in the coming weeks.
So.. is that it? Am i literally unable to continue to work for potentially weeks until they support iOS6?
I'm hoping there is a quick fix for this, surely I can't be the only one in this situation.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
For a temporary fix you can do what Sudhakar said, but the app won't run on an iPhone 5, (or atleast with my tests it didn't). You really need a properly compiled SDK.
The current Facebook SDK is build for armv6. I hear they are working on getting a new version out asap that is build for armv7.
In the meantime you can clone down the facebook SDK from github and compile the SDK to work with armv7 yourself. Below are the instructions:
Download or clone a copy of the source code from the git hub page (https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk)
Open up the xcode project and in the build settings change the architecture to armv7.
Save and close
Navigate to /scripts and in terminal run build_all.sh
This will then compile the source and output builds/FacebookSDK.framework
To get this to work I had to clone the git repository to /Desktop/iOS
I replaced the FacebookSDK.framework that was within my app with the newly created version and it worked like a charm.
good luck!
Click the your are Xcode Project -> in Architures tab -> valid Architures -> keep armv7 only and remove armv7s.
In my case it working fine, this is only temparary solution.

How do I open project version 1.0 with xcode 4.2?

I downloaded this Xcode project(version 1.0 as in contents.xcworkspacedata) from here
When I try to open it, got this error:
Failed to load project at '.../Lesson31_OSXCocoa/Lesson31_OSXCocoa.pbproj', incompatible project version.
How do I open project version 1.0 with xcode 4.2?
You're better off trying to find a newer tutorial, or just studying the code as-is, without expecting to build and run it.
Judging by the modification dates, this code is almost ten years old. Even if you can get a modern version of XCode to open it, there's no reason to think that the headers, libraries, etc., that it needs to compile and run will still be compatible. Moreover, ten years is a long time in software terms. While some of the content might still be applicable, it certainly won't be anywhere near the cutting edge (which itself won't be new by the time you've mastered it).
All that said, if you're really intent on working with that project file in XCode 4.2, the best way is probably to convert it the same way a continuously developed project would have: XCode by XCode.
You can download older versions of XCode from Apple here (requires free Apple developer account).
Some older version will be able to import that file and update it to a newer format.
Assuming you don't stop at that point and use that version of XCode, you can repeat the process with the updated project file and ever-newer versions of XCode until you've arrived at version 4.2.
Relatively easy to make a new project and add the appropriate files to it. Took less than 10 minutes (had to update the code in a few places). Note that I didn't spend much time cleaning up this old code - quite a few deprecated warnings. But it runs and works. I have Xcode 4.3.2 installed but hopefully you'll be able to open it with 4.2. Here's a link to it: Lesson31.zip
Note that the process for doing this (so you can do it for any others), is to create a new Mac OS X Cocoa Application project, add the files (except main.m) from the old project to the new project, and then add necessary libraries to fix link errors (OpenGL Framework). If there's a nib then you can open that in Xcode and copy the window with view and controller out of that project and paste them into the .xib file created with the new project. Then fix compiler warnings/errors as necessary (add a few (char*) coerces, remove reference to std::ios::nocreate which doesn't seem to be available, etc).

Installing iOS SDK 4.1 on xcode 3.2.5

I've read through a lot of posts and couldn't really figure out the answer to this question. So I apologize if I duplicating it here.
I have installed xcode 3.2.5 to my machine and it comes with SDK 4.2. My iPhone is on 4.1 and I am not planning to move it to 4.2 just yet. Problem is that I can't use this phone for testing. Since the only SDK that I have installed is 4.2, when I try to run debug with my iPhone, I get this message:
Can't install application
The info.plist for application at /blabla/app.app specifies a minimum OS of 4.2, which is too high to be installed on this device.
So, I got to Targets -> Get Info and I see that it is indeed targeting 4.2 (but that is the only option available - since I don't have the other SDK's installed).
So, the question is: how to I keep xcode 3.2.5, but install SDK 4.1 in addition to 4.2?
It took a while to figure this out.
I couldn't see 'iOS Deployment Target' on the info.plist either. Here's what I did.
a) Project -> Edit Project Settings
b) go to 'deployment' section
c) Change
'Targeted Device Family' = iPhone/iPad
'iOS Deployment Target = 'iOS 4.1'
Open up your info.plist in your project. There is a place where you can define for iOS 4.1.
Just open the previous SDK dmg, then go to Packages, and install the SDK 4.1 package.
More info : Install sdk 2.0 to 3.1 for xcode 3.2
Note : the "Packages" directory is not visible in the dmg since xcode_3.2.5_and_ios_sdk_4.2_final. Just use the Terminal (or finder "Go to folder") to open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages".
Edit : the xcode4.1 for Snow Leopard create an app called "Install Xcode.app". The packages directory is inside the app package.
The best way to do this is to find a copy of Xcode 3.2.4, with iOS 4.1, and install it in a separate directory. When you install, take the dropdown that's set to Developer and switch it to DevOld, or something similar. As there's no way to install new SDKs in the new version of Xcode, keeping multiple versions is the best you can do.
If you simply want to be able to run your app in 4.1, not necessarily develop in it, go into your target's settings, and under the build tab, set the iOS Deployment Target key to 4.1 or below.
Good luck!
What you need to do is:
In the BUILD section of the Project info click on Show and change its value from Setting defined at this level to All Settings.
In the updated list of settings you will surely locate the desired one.
Good Luck!
