Docs for Xcode Installation Issue

Question

I've Installed Xcode 5 and Docs for Xcode. Docs for Xcode is requesting access to Xcode's docsets library which the Dialog box says should be at;

~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets

However it is not. The DocSets directory is actually located in;

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Documentation/DocSets

When I click the Grant Access button I get an Open Dialog to select the path to grant access to, however I cannot drill into the Xcode.app directory from this dialog so I cannot grant access to the DocSets library.

If I look in the location suggested ~/Library/Developer there is no 'Shared' directory only a directory called Xcode. Drilling into it I find a few folders but none for Documentation. I suspect this has to do with the version of OS X I'm running (10.9.2) using a different structure.

Any ideas on how to complete the setup of Docs for Xcode without having my docs inaccessible in Xcode?

Had the same issue. Ensure you click update on docs for Xcode and restart Xcode. If you cannot find the shared folder in ~/Library/Developer/ then by going into Xcode preferences - downloads tab and download one of the documents their it will create the path which 'docs for Xcode' needs access for. (I followed the same instructions and granted access to ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/Docsets)
