iOS 4 and iOS 5 SDK's in xCode 4.5.1 on Mountain Lion

I have migrated to Mountain Lion OS version 10.8.2. Since mountain lion, installed xCode 4.5.1. Now I only get the development target iOS 6. However, I have to deploy both version sdk's (iOS 5 & iOS 4) in xCode 4.5.1.

How can I have both iOS 5 and iOS 4 SDK's (simulators) in xCode4.5.1?

Please help.

Thanks, Rubini.S

Here is what you need to do..

  • Download XCode 4.3.* dmg from developer.apple.com and install the application
  • Double click on the dmg file
  • Right-click on the XCode icon and choose 'Show Package Contents'
  • Navigate to directory /Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs
  • Drag the directory iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk to your desktop

  • Open terminal session and execute following commands

    cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs

    sudo mv $HOME/Desktop/iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk .

    sudo chmod -R root:wheel iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk

  • Restart XCode

  • Now if you launch the Simulator, you should be able to switch to see the option for iOS 5.1 under Hardware
  • If you also want to test on iOS5, copy the relevant SDKs from the iPhoneOS.platform directory
