I have HTC Trophy with build 7.0.7004.0 - RTM version, unlocked for development.
Now I would like to upgrade to Mango and have the following questions:
Can I upgrade directly from RTM to Mango? I know there have been other updates in the past (e.g. NoDo), but I did not install any of them, I still have the original OS I got with the purchase of the device. Can I upgrade directly to Mango or will I have to run pre-Mango updates before Mango update?
Will Mango update lock my device again? Or will it remain unlocked?
Thanks
The Mango update will take care of installing previous updates if required -- even uninstalling previous updates if required (e.g., it will remove pre-release versions of Mango) -- and install the Mango bits. As directed, it may require more than one reboot cycle before you're done, and can take a long time depending on what needs to get added or removed. Don't get overly excited and disconnect the phone just because you see it restart (like I did the first time : ).
Your developer unlocked device stays developer unlocked after upgrading to Mango. Whoopie!

my x version is on full rollout on play store but my new users are still downloading the older versions.
Whenever we are uploading any new version on play store, older version automatically deactivate or we need to do it manually?
No, we don't need to deactivate the older versions. It takes sometimes for your new release to be updated in users' Play Store app (sometimes it can take up to several days). It is normal, you do not need to be worried to much. After users download your older version(s), they will be prompted to update your app to newer version soon.
If you only have one version of the application in your release, then that is enough for users to move to the new version.
However, you will often see a few installs of old versions. One is P2P app sharing. Currently ShareIt, Xender and Files Go when they P2P share versions of apps can use Google Play to install them (see the blog post). These will appear in your statistics as installs of old versions, but the users will eventually get updated. The security metadata has an expiry time, so versions older than 3 months will never be installed.
You might also see old versions being installed for users who had an old version and do backup of one phone and restore to a new phone.
I am noticing some adverse effects on my Google Play Stats because I, as the programmer, am uninstalling the old version of the app to reinstall the new version immediately.
Basically I am on 5 installs and 10 uninstalls. Its only me that knows about the program yet.
I have learned this negatively effects Store Search algorithms when it gets released to the public.
What can I do?
You've got a few options.
Stop using the Play store for quick iterations. Install your app using adb on your development device.
Stop uninstalling. Why uninstall and re-install? Why not just increase the version code?
Use a play store internal test track for your updates. Increasing the version code for each upload. This won't be visible to any users, as long as you don't change the version string. The version code is a 32 bit integer, so even if you did it 10 times a day, it would take you allmost 600,000 years before you ran out of version codes.
Could not locate device support files.
This iPhone 5s (Model A1457, A1518, A1528, A1530) is running iOS 10.3.1 (14E304), which may not be supported by this version of Xcode.
You need to update Xcode whenever the iOS version you want to work with is higher than the highest version that Xcode's simulator has installed. This can be done one of two ways. The simplest is to use the App Store to download/update Xcode. If the App Store doesn't show any updates, you must manually download the latest Xcode build from https://developer.apple.com/.
You will need to manually download from the Developer portal when the version of Xcode on your computer was downloaded there previously. For example, many beta testers may download the file directly instead of using the Mac App Store, since it is a beta download.
I would recommend trying to keep updates done through the App Store by downloading Xcode from there initially. The benefit to this is that it can automatically update as well as save space on your computer (Xcode is a big file, and you may not have enough space to download a new version if you still have the old version).
As of the comments, I will now write an answer. :-)
Whenever you encounter this error there might be two reasons for that:
The OS version is too old
The iPhone's/iPad's OS is too new for your Xcode version
If it is too old, you may need to download older SDKs and OS versions.
You can do so in Xcode. Go to "Preferences" -> "Components" and download the appropriate Simulator.
If the devices OS is up to date, you have to make sure your Xcode is also up to date.
Either you update Xcode through the AppStore OR (and I prefer this way, as the AppStore is used to hang up in a certain state and cannot be completed any longer until you restart the Mac, at least I had this several times).
Side note: Xcode requires multiple GB of free storage. Make sure you have enough free storage left for an update.
You can download the latest Xcode version from the https://developer.apple.com portal:
Go to Downloads:
And then select the item of interest (in your case Xcode)
just install the new version of Xcode (7.2.1), he took a little longer than expected.
But when it finished and run the xcode continues with version 7.1.1
I thought it would be solved by restarting the Mac, but no.
Any idea what can be spent? or happened to me to be done?
!EDITED!
My MAC version.
My xcode options
My applications
I had exactly the same problem. I installed 4GB large 7.2.1 version of Xcode from the AppStore over an existing 7.2 version, and whichever way I was launching Xcode it was always the same old 7.2 popping up. What was worse I could not download 7.2.1 again, as AppStore app was not showing Install button anymore, but rather Launch button instead (like it was installed).
Finally I found a solution. I went to Downloads for Apple Developers site (a login to a developer account was required), I dowloaded Xcode_7.2.1.dmg 4.7GB large from there, launched an installation... which successfully replaced the older 7.2 version of Xcode.
Another answer suggests installing Xcode via a Developer Member Center download. I'd like to caution against this, and suggest an alternative approach.
Shortly before Xcode 7 became available, I upgraded an Xcode 6 installation to 6.4 by using the download. I did this to save download time for upgrading multiple machines (I put the installer on a flash drive). I subsequently discovered that using the downloaded installer broke tracking the version history in the App Store, and I was no longer able to upgrade via the App Store. Also, I was no longer notified of pending Xcode updates via the MAS "Updates" panel.
So a possible consequence for you may be that the App Store may not be able to handle your future Xcode updates, or even notify you when an update is pending.
What I ended up doing was deleting my then-current Xcode installation (I used AppDelete to get all of the components of the installation), and starting from scratch using the App Store. I recommend doing the same. Probably the best way to start is to try deleting Xcode via Launchpad. But if that doesn't work (say, it doesn't delete all versions if you still have multiple versions), try AppDelete or a similar app.
I should note that one reason I used the download to upgrade Xcode 6 was that I'd done so previously without breaking the App Store's ability to track Xcode's version history. Whether that previous behavior was a fluke, or whether the later behavior (losing the version history) was a fluke, I can't say.
If you've already installed via the Member Center installer, you can check to see if you'll have this problem by looking up Xcode in MAS. If the store shows you have the version you manually installed, then all is well (probably!). If not, either you'll have to keep track of updates by yourself, or you should re-establish MAS version tracking by deleting Xcode and starting from scratch via MAS. I'd be interested to learn whether the store is tracking your manual installation.
I just bought a new Macbook pro and install the Xcode in the disk to my machine, but, that Xcode only has mac sdk. How can I install other iOS sdk in? I just don't want to wait for redownloading the whole Xcode because with my network connection, it takes me up to 8 hours.
Apple's Developer Tools Evangelist, Michael Jurwitz, has stated on many many occasions that the developer tools team are aware of peoples frustrations with not having an incremental upgrade system.
Unfortunately, no matter how aware they may be, nothing has been done about it for as long as the developer tools have been available.
And now that Xcode 4 is available on the Mac App Store, it seems to me that getting an incremental upgrade system is even less likely (although that is just conjecture on my part). I say this because the Mac App Store, like its iPhone counterpart, downloads the new app in full when an update is available.
There is nothing more you can do other than wait for the download, I'm afraid.
There is no other way than re-download all sdk. I'm sorry man.
This has been answered here before: Old answer
And the sad answer is no. You will have to redownload the whole package every time.
Since they just upgraded their Xcode to version 4 (on 9 March 2011) , it's better for you to download the new Xcode.
