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.

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"
I have an iPhone with iOS 8 installed on it, but when I connect it to Xcode 5.1, it doesn't recognize it.
As with the other answers, it seemed fairly random whether or not my iOS 8 device was being picked up by Xcode 5.1. It appears that it works if you have the iOS 8 device plugged in before you start Xcode 5.1. When you do that, you will get a screen indicating the symbols are being processed:
After this completes, the device is selectable. I am pretty sure this needs to be performed with each new beta. That might explain why it appears to suddenly stop working.
If this isn't working for you, make sure you have the latest Xcode 6 Beta to match the iOS 8 Beta version, and connect the device while Xcode 6 is running. The same "Processing Symbol" files process will occur and then Xcode 5.1 seems to work.
the only decent way to make it work is to create a symbolic link to a folder that contains binary for iOS8. You can make fool Xcode 5.1 saying "yes, iOS 8 is ok." via a symlink:
In my case I have Xcode 5.1 on Mavericks HD, and Xcode 6.0 beta 4 on Yosemite HD.
I did:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode6-Beta4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/8.0\ (12A4331d) /Volumes/MAVERICKS/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/8.0\ (12A4331d)
and Xcode 5.1 did work with my iOS8 iphone.
(note the space before /Volumes/MAVER... )
PS: for every beta, I have to patch again... :(
You need to download the Xcode 6 Beta. It's available in the iOS Developer Center, where you downloaded the iOS 8 Beta.
I have connected my iPhone with iOS 8 installed to Xcode 5.1.First time it doesn't recognize.but when i unplugged device and connect again , Device Recognized.
I dont know the reason Anyway i am sure that you can also connect your IOS8 installed device to Xcode5.1 ....
I've been using Xcode 5 to build on an iOS 8 device just fine. Now all of a sudden, it won't let me anymore.
first use xcode6 build on your iPhone5s.
second open xcode 5 ,unpluge device and connect again.
then device recognized.
Open xcode 6 and wait until device is recognised. When done, close xcode 6 and open xcode 5.1 and your device is going to be automatically recognised.
That way you can run your application on a device with iOS 8 with the old xcode.
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
see:
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.
