Can you use XCode6.3 with IOS7.1 SDK

ios, ios7, xcode, xcode6

Solution

Yes. 1. First download 7.1 SDK - XCode6Beta > Preferences > Downloads > iOS 7.1 Simulator.

Note: XCode6-Beta can co-exist with regular XCode (XCode 5.x). But when you download iOS 7.1 Simulator, it actually gets downloaded into XCode 5's path!! (probably a bug).

- Open XCode5's SDKs folder.. /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs

- Open XCode6-beta's SDKs folder.. /Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs

- Copy iPhoneOS7.1.sdk from XCode5's to XCode6-Beta's SDK folder.

- Restart XCode6-beta

Now if you go to Project's Build Settings, Base SDK, you will see 7.1 along with 8.0.

Enjoy!

Problem

Is it possible to use XCode6 beta with an IOS 7.1 SDK? The new tools are much nicer but I need to build for IOS7
