Can one develop for iOS 6 using XCode 5 on Mavericks (OS X 10.9)?

Question

This question is out-dated. Mavericks is released and everything works fine with Xcode 5 and iOS 6 on an iPod 4th gen.

I\'m thinking about upgrading my OS X

Answer 1

You can install Xcode 4 by temporary editing the System Version.

1. go to /system/library/coreservices
2. Find SystemVersion.plist and open it
3. Change the two bottom numbers (10.9) to 10.8.4 and save
4. Install Xcode 4
5. Change those numbers back to 10.9 and save.

Done, You now have Xcode 4 on 10.9 :)

Good Luck!
