iOS iOS 5 SDK Missing?

[Rob.G]

Isn't the iOS5 SDK supposed to be included in XCode 4.2? When I look in /Developer/SDKs, I only see OSX 10.6 and 10.7 SDKs, nothing for iOS. I've checked both of my Macs and its the same on both.

I'm a 100% total noob to Mac/iOS development, so I've started watching various getting started videos. But I noticed that the SDK seems to be missing.

Look in Platforms.

I see the iOS 4.3 SDK in there, but not 5.

On a clean installed of XCode 4.2, I only have the iOS5 SDK.

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk

Weird. And my Mac is an almost-new unit that came with Lion. I downloaded and installed XCode from the App Store.

Problem solved!!

When XCode gets upgraded via the App Store, it upgrades the INSTALLER, not the installation. This makes no sense, but whatever. I was about to delete the whole thing and reinstall when I accidentally ran the installer (from Launchpad) and it had an Update button. I figured what the heck, and clicked it. A while later, it was done, and now I see I have an iOS 5 SDK.
