Can you install the Xcode 5 Developer Preview in parallel with Xcode 4.6.2?

Question

Apple announced the Xcode 5 Developer Preview today and I want to try it.

But before I download this, I want to know that what happen with my current version of Xcod

Answer 1

The Xcode 5 developer preview comes as a normal app DMG (not with the usual packager/installer) and has a different name.

So essentially, you download it, open a DMG, then pull to the Applications folder and thence have two Xcodes there (the old and the new one called Xcode5-DP). It even comes with a slightly different icon (red badge across a corner) and the intro screen is different too, so there is very little chance of confusing them.

I already did that today (and a colleague also).
