I develop on ipad IOS 6.1.3 on XCode 4.6.
By mistake, ipad was updated to IOS 7.0.4.
So, How can I make iPad with IOS 7.0.4 works on Xcode 4.6 ?
Or, How can I restore iPad from IOS 7 to IOS 6.1.3 ?
My Mac os is 10.7.5
I can't complete my work..
Thank you
Very soon Apple will stop accepting apps that are built using Xcode 4.6, so you'll want to work on your app using Xcode 5, unless you don't plan on releasing your app.
As for downgrading your iPad, I don't think that's possible any longer. It used to be possible to downgrade from iOS 7 beta versions to iOS 6, but I think once iOS 7 was officially released that it is no longer possible.
My suggestion would be to upgrade your Mac OS version so you can install Xcode 5, and continue development. If you want users to use your app, they'll want it to be built with Xcode 5 so that it has the new iOS look anyway. After using iOS 7 for a while, apps that have the iOS 6 look still seem very dated.
i changed the base sdk for iOS 6.1 in xcode 5 .
When i simulate my project on a iOS 6.1 simulator or on a iOS 6.1 device
all works fine. But when i build a ipa and install it on a iOS 7 device
the device use the iOS 7 sdk and my hole app looks weird. I changed my base
sdk for iOS 6.1, so why use my device the iOS 7 sdk?
I read that iOS 7 use the iOS 6.1 sdk for old published apps.
What do i have to do that iOS 7 also do that for my app?
My only idea is to install xcode 4 again...
I have experienced the same problem - unfortunately only discovered AFTER submitting to the app store and the app being approved and released, causing all sorts of mayhem due to interface glitches.
The issue occurs due to a bug in XCode 5 (including in XCode 5.0.2 it seems) that is triggered when you install older SDKs.
When you have multiple SDKs installed, you will see that when you connect your device to XCode, there are multiple entries for your device, with no way to tell them apart. But it appears that the TOP entry is for the OLDEST SDK you have installed, the BOTTOM one for the NEWEST SDK.
I have found that if I first use "Test" project option to run the app on the device with the SDK I want to use (in my case the top entry, which is for iOS6.1 SDK), then that is the SDK that will subsequently be used when I archive the app.
You can have both xcode 5 and 4.6.3 installed.
Also a lot of post say that in the simulator it look iOS7 but on device it will look iOS6.1 if you set the base sdk to 6.1

Is it possible to install iOS 6 SDK on Xcode 5?
Do apple allow custom iOS 5/6 style UI for iOS7?
I'm working on an iOS app that I wrote with Xcode 4.6 and iOS 6.x. Now that XCode 5 has been released alongside with iOS 7, I wanted to support both iOS 6.x and iOS 7.x by using either XCode 4.6 or XCode 5. What is the best way to approach this?. Can I just toggle between iOS 6.x SDK and iOS 7.x SDK from within XCode 4.6 or do I have to upgrade to XCode 5 to accomplish this?.
Please advise.
XCode 4.6 will not support iOS 7 by any means. You will only be able to build iOS 6 apps that will run on iOS 7, but you will not be able to use new iOS 7 SDS features.
If you want to support iOS 7 features, you need to use Xcode 5. This might also cause some visual issues in your app.
My suggestion is to migrate to Xcode 5 and then check that everything is ok in your app, or do the required changes so that it works fine on iOS 7.
In any case, you can safely go back to Xcode 4 from Xcode 5, if you see that anything does not work out as expected.
I have completed my universal application using xcode 4.3.3 but when I run application in iPhone 5 , my application launches in small screen. I also changed the launched image to Default-568h#2x.png but all in vein. Please help me out , How can i make application for iPhone 5 using xcode 4.3.3?
There is no way to target iOS 6 with Xcode 4.3.3 you need to update to Xcode 4.5 or higher.
To run Xcode 4.5 or higher your mac will need to running OSX lion or higher.
iOS 5.1 was just recently released and I want to test it on my simulator but the highest available is iOS 5.0. I went to the developer centre to download it but all I could find was a list for sdk iOS 5.1 for devices (ipad, iphone, ipad 2 etc etc).
How do I get 5.1 into my simulator?
thanks!
You have to install Lion and the new Xcode 4.3.1.
