I downloaded a sample code from the MAC OSX developer library and the code is the format of a .pbproj (Project builder) and im unable to open it on xcode.
I have tried the following without any luck:-
1) Rename FancyAbout.pbproj to Old.xcodeproj
2) Open Old.xcodeproj. Xcode will ask you to upgrade it. Save it as
FancyAbout.xcodeproj.
3) When the project opens, choose Project > Upgrade All Targets in
Project to Native... to upgrade to the Xcode build system
4) Build and run.
I run a Mac 10.7.3 with Xcode on 4.3.2
Anyone have any suggestions on how i can get this running in xcode?
Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge older Project Builder, and even older Xcode projects can not be opened or upgraded directly. The only real way you could upgrade would be to find a previous version of Xcode that is able to open and upgrade the older project then save the project using the older Xcode and see if the newest Xcode is then able to open the upgraded project.
Or, simply create a new Xcode project and copy over all the source files from the old project into your new project and go from there. This option is probably considerably easier then trying to find older versions of Xcode to do the upgrade with.

I originally created my XCode project with version 3.2.6 and it's moved through 4.x to 5.0. I only just realised that XCode 3.2.6 was still my default XCode and that new projects are .xcode rather than .xcodeproj.
Is there an easy way to update my project - or will XCode have done this and simply kept the old name?
Open the Xcode project by Right click the .xcode file and click the open with option and choose the latest Xcode application.
I have a Mac version 10.7.5 with Xcode 4.6.3 installed. I have an application built in Xcode 5 and this project doesn't open in my older Xcode installation. It shows me an error saying
The document "Main.Storyboard" could not be opened.Could not read archive.Please use a newer version of Xcode. Consider changing the document's Development target to preserve compatibility.
Why am I not able to run this application using My Xcode.
In Xcode 5, select the storyboard and in the File Inspector, make sure the following option is selected:
You should then be able to open it in Xcode 4.6.3.
I have been trying to research a way that I would be able to revert back to Xcode 4.6.1, I can't seem to find a solution.
I've seen that in the past people have downgraded their Xcode.
Is there a way that I can downgrade Xcode 5 back to Xcode 4.6.1?
I have older versions of apps which clients do not wish to upgrade. However I still need to make amendments to theses applications. I need them to remain the same.
Is there any way that I can downgrade Xcode?
Move Xcode 5 to the Trash. Download and install Xcode 4.6. You can download older versions of Xcode from the following URL:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
You can also have both Xcode 4 and 5 installed. You will have to rename your existing Xcode 5 app from Xcode to another name like Xcode5 before you install Xcode 4.6 in the Applications folder.
I followed your instruction to downgrade xcode 5.1 to xcode 4.6.1. The steps seems to work, however, when I try to install the command line tool, the Components tab of the Downloads preferences panel shows "No components are available". How do I get the command line tool to show up in the component panel?
Before the downgrade, with xcode 5.1, I did "xcode-select —install" to install command line tool. I assume it has been removed when I dragged the xcode 5.1 to the trash.
I have managed to install the trial version of MonoTouch as I am interested in buying a license but I want to try the product first. The problem that I am having is this:
I have installed MonoTouch and MonoDevelop
I have downloaded Xcode which has the iphone sdk's bundled in.
When I open monodevelop and create a new iPhone application or project, it creates it and opens it in monodevelop. Awesome. when I try to compile and run in the simulator, I get an error stating "The iphone sdk is not installed."
Now, it could be due to the fact that the xcode I downloaded from the apple developer site is an app file ie no installation is required, you extract the dmg file and then Xcode runs straight from there and you can copy it from the dmg straight to your drive and run it from there. is there any specific place where I should put that file for monotouch to find it? how can I solve this?
Another problem, upon opening the xib file in my project, it does not open interface builder in monodevelop, it opens the files source code. hopefully by solving the xcode issue it will take care of this as well?

You're right, the problem is that MonoDevelop can't find Xcode.
The easiest way is to install Xcode from the AppStore. In this case MonoDevelop will detect the location automatically.
You can also tell MonoDevelop where the SDK is in MonoDevelop's preferences (remember to restart MonoDevelop):
Or you can copy Xcode.app into your Applications directory, and MonoDevelop will find it automatically (if you have the latest MonoDevelop version and Xcode 4.3).
Have you tried running XCode and checked that it is installed? Might seem like a silly question, but when you download XCode from appstore you only download the installation program, which you in turn need to run to actually install XCode.
I have solved the problem. I downloaded another version of xcode which physically installed it on the machine now everything works beautifully.
I'm about to download Xcode 4 and was wondering, will project files from the recent version of Xcode work with the new version?
I have opened and saved files without any problem between 3.2.5 and xCode 4. I heard that some had problems with interface builder generated files though. But I think you can say that you are safe if you're not using IB.
