iOS How upgrade Xcode + iOS SDK?

[melodosgr]

Hello everyone.

I was quite astonished that there is not enough consolidation to Xcode in order to allow an update feauture which will get me from Xcode 3.2.2 to 3.2.4 + iOS sdk 4.1 from 3.x.x

Can someone tell me how to get through the upgrade session? I wish to delete all the prior xcode 3.2.2 folders on my mac as i'm running on low disk space but i thought that the 4.1 replaces the old files which is apparently not? I'm really confused..

Should i delete all the files in the developer folder??

Thanks

sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

<Xcode> is your SDK install directory (normally /Developer).

Then install the new version.

Thanks, thats what i did. Hopefully Apple will implement an update feature within xcode. I would also like to see a more integrated environment like all the other IDEs and not separated tools: (Interface Builder, Xcode, Iphone Simulator).

You will, in Xcode 4.

Just out of curiosity, is there anything wrong with just installing a new version (say 3.2.5...) over the current version without first uninstalling it?

I've been wondering the same thing, and it's part of why I haven't installed the new version to test 4.2 features yet.

On the same token, if you do install 3.2.5 beta will you still be able to compile for iOS 4.1 at all? Or does that get replaced by 4.2?

I've done it a ton of times and never had any issues. But I always keep betas separate from production versions.

You can't set your Base SDK to 4.1 but you can still set your "iOS Deployment Target" to as far back as 3.0.

Anyways, Apple recommends that you install betas in a separate directory. You are usually not allowed to submit apps compiled with the beta SDK.

But can we install a stable version over another already installed stable version ?

I've read nothing in the last couple of years that indicates not to. And have been doing just that myself with no known consequences.

 

[vanylapep]

not knowing the consequence does it mean there is no consequence?

I just rename the /Developer directory to /Developer_(old_version_number) and install the latest release in /Developer and the latest beta in /Developer_beta.

So the apple want me to download the whole install file again(~2g).
