Xcode SDK 4.0.2

Question

Is there any way for me to download the iOS 4.0.1 SDK without actually downloading Xcode AGAIN as well? I just think since I already have the most recent version it would be good to save time and space by simply downloading the SDK.

However - I do realize they might have updated Xcode so that it is compatible with new technologies. Does this mean I have to reinstall it?

Thanks,

Christian Stewart

Unfortunately, you have to download and install the entire SDK, including Xcode and all the other tools, whenever Apple updates it. There is no patch or incremental-update available.

Some developers take the additional step of uninstalling the previous SDK before installing the new one, to avoid having any "stale" files left in the installation directories.
