Have a similar question here but no answer found
Xcode 7 update completes but Xcode 6.4 remains

I've had issues like this before and found that deleting old Xcode and installing the new new one downloaded from Apple works better than using the Mac App store.
Once logged into developer.apple.com you should be able to get the 7.1 dmg from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/ download that (http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_7.1/Xcode_7.1.dmg) and install from there.

Attempt to update Xcode ends in endless wait

I am on MacBook Pro using High Sierra (10.13.4)
My installed version of Xcode is 8.2 (8C38) and I am trying to update to 9.3.1 but I end up in endless waiting.
it turns out that
(a) Newest XCode (9.3.1) required High Sierra MacOS
(b) And even you upgrade to HighSierra, you still have the same issue
So, I did following to resolve this
I updated my OS from El Capitan to High Sierra as I found out that in order to get latest XCode v. 9.3.1, you need High Sierra - this went smothless
Once updated to High Sierra, I went to app launcher and uninstalled XCode,
Next, I went to this link https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and downloaded XCode 9.3.1 xip file
Once downloaded, unzip it using Archiver app
Once unzipped, just drag the XCode app to Applications folder
Start it to complete installation
Maybe #Apple should talk to their QA
Had the same problem. Deleted Xcode via Application menu. Reinstalled from App Store. Worked for me.

unable to connect ios 9.1 device to xcode 7.1

I am trying to run application in a device with iOS 9.1 from xcode 7.1. xcode is keep crashing. I am unable to install the application in any ios 9.1 devices. I have tried 3 different devices and getting the same problem. My code is in objective-c.
I have uninstalled the xcode and then installed xcode 7.2 again. It solved my issue.
I think you should do something for fix it, maybe it's just some stupid errors from xcode.
Try to clean then build again.
Add a devices for development then test again.
Report to Apple.
Check your iOS Target Deployment first.
Also try following steps
Also try reinstalling Xcode 7 and while installing close Xcode.
Check in Xcode Preferences whether Simulator for iOS9 is installed or not.
also check whether your itunes open when plugin device.

Xcode 7 & iOS 7 simulator

Ive upgraded the version of Xcode to 7 (Release version).
Is it possible to have Xcode 7 and Xcode 6 installed side by side?
I need to support users on the iOS 7.0 platform but for testing I do not have extra devices with me with iOS 7.0 installed. If the answer to the previous question is NO, is there a way to install iOS 7.0 simulators in Xcode 7
Follow up question: If I open a project in Xcode 7 and then open it Xcode 6 will there be any errors in the project files/storyboards?
Yes, you can have multiple copies of Xcode.app installed on the same computer and switch between them. You may run into issues if you try to use both at the same time, but as long as you quit one before using the other, you should be fine.
There is no way to install the iOS 7.0 Simulator with Xcode 7.0. The iOS 7.0 Simulator Runtime is not supported on Yosemite and newer host OS versions, and Xcode 7.0 is only supported on Yosemite and later. You will need to use a Mavericks host OS in order to use the iOS 7.0 Simulator Runtime. If you would be satisfied with the iOS 7.1 Simulator Runtime, that is still supported on Yosemite (but not El Capitan) when using Xcode 6.x (but not Xcode 7.0).
In regards to opening your project in different Xcode versions, there shouldn't be any problems like that.
For your first question i think this link can be help full,please check
Can Xcode 6 and Xcode 5 coexist on the same computer?
I have xCode 6.4 http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_6.4/Xcode_6.4.dmg and xCode 7 side by side, just download and install "xCode 2"

Xcode 6 beta 5 won't build Swift with iOS 7.1 SDK

Despite the release notes stating this is supported and previous version of Xcode 6 working ok, I have a rather verbose error message when trying to build with 7.1 SDK.
"iOS targets using Swift cannot be built against an SDK older than 8.0, but the effective SDK is 7.1."
Has anyone else seen this?
I just had this issue, but with the app store build of Xcode 6.0.1 (6A317).
The issue was that I had copied old SDK's (7.0, 7.1) into the Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs directory. This was causing Xcode to use the wrong SDK for building.
Deleting them solved this problem for me. That'll teach me for mucking around with Xcode.

Compatibility of Xcode 5 with Xcode 6

Apple has now announced Xcode 6 (and iOS 8). I currently have Mavericks on my Mac (and am not planning to upgrade to Yosemite yet), and am wondering if I can download the Xcode 6 dev preview, while still maintaining my current version of Xcode 5. This is so that I can use the new Xcode 6 features, while still being able to work on, and upload, my current applications. Is that possible?
Also, if I update my phone to iOS 8 Beta, will I be able to run apps from Xcode 5, or only Xcode 6?
Answers would be hugely appreciated! Thanks :)
Even I use Mavericks, I installed Xcode 6. In order to be sure about my maintenance projects, I've also downloaded Xcode5.1.1 from Apple developer portal, copied it into my Desktop, renamed it as XCode 5.1.1 and then moved it to my applications folder.
I have both versions at the moment without any issues and can also select the version of Xcode while opening an existing Xcode project by using open with menu feature.
I hope this helps...
Xcode 6 Beta Release Notes
Xcode 6 Beta requires a Mac running OS X version 10.9.3 (or later) or 10.10.
I think its possible that you can do all things you was able to do with Xcode 5 but I will tell you when my xcode 6 download is finished.
You may install XCode 6 Beta on OS X 10.9.3, and I think that you'll need XCode 6 in order to run iOS8 apps.
One thing that you didn't ask, but that you should keep in mind (as you mentioned your phone):
Devices updated to iOS 8 beta can not be restored to earlier versions
of iOS.
i've installed Xcode6 in Mavericks and iOS simulator crash with message : Unable to boot the iOS Simulator. :-(
You can download the preview of Xcode 6 and use your existing installed Xcode 5 side by side without affecting anything you're doing. Just make sure if you click on a project file that you open it in the correct version of Xcode.
Download xcode dmg file from Apple's developer site. Install it in a different location other than the Applications folder. There you go !!
