xcode4.2 - Is it possible to get the iOS 5.1 SDK for Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard? -


i still have snow leopard. have xcode 4.2 ios development. morning upgraded iphone , ipad ios 5.1.

but xcode 4.2 not detecting device testing. not find ios 5.1 sdk image on apple's developer site, xcode 4.2.

i don't want upgrade lion xcode 4.3 @ time.

will able use xcode 4.2 (on snow leopard) ios development now?

to xcode 4.2 on snow leopard run code on device running ios 5.1 can this:

  1. if have mac running lion , xcode 4.3.1 can copy files from:

    /applications/xcode.app/contents/developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/devicesupport/5.1 (9b176)

  2. place copied files in equivalent place on snow leopard mac: probably

    /developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/devicesupport

  3. similarly copy ios 5.1 sdk files found in directory:

    /developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/developer/sdks/iphoneos5.1.sdk

  4. also copy 'version.plist' lion machine in iphoneos.platform folder snow leopard machine.

  5. re-start xcode on snow leopard machine , re-connect devices , seems happy enough.

if don't have access machine lion , xcode 4.3.1:

  1. you can files out of 4.3.1 dmg can downloaded apple here: downloads apple developers.

  2. mount dmg, show package contents on xcode icon , drill down to

    /volumes/xcode/xcode.app/contents/developer/platforms/iphoneos.platform/devicesupport

  3. follow steps above.

you might find more convenient use apple's proprietary ditto method (sudo ditto src dest) in terminal window copy folders.

note,this hack work latest ios 6 sdk.
