XCode 4.2: Organizer documentation is locked in a OSX Lion way

Question

I'm using the XCode 4.2 beta (build 4D199) on Lion, and can't access the Developer Documentation in XCode 4.2 anymore. When I attempt to log-in, I get a pop-up telling me the (remote) file is "locked", in the fashion that Lion does these things.

Does anybody have a suggestion what I can do to access the documentation from within the Organizer? I used to be able to access it without any issues, not sure what changed.

Answer 1

The situation was fixed for me by Apple / XCode itself, as it automatically downloaded the (newly available?) "iOS 5.0 Library" documentation files. Documentation now runs from a complete local copy.

To be sure you get this too you need to have the automatic download of documentation files turned on.

Preferences > Downloads > Documentation > Check for and install updates automatically

(You can also download the files manually by clicking on "Check and install now")

Answer 2

Same here. To work around this issue, right click on the sign in page and choose "Open Page in Browser". This will open the same resource in Safari.

Answer 3

1.- Download library from: http://developer.apple.com/rss/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone5_0.atom

2.- Open with The Unarchiver

3.- Copy file in "Developer/Documentation/DocSets

4.- Open Xcode

Answer 4

Had the same problem. To solve it (well seems like that), i went in

Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Documentation

Download the parts you need, for me it worked.

Answer 5

As other commenters have stated you should be able to fix these problems by downloading the documentation again. However, given that a complete set of iOS & MacOS documentation clocks in at around 2.0GB here is an alternative method that avoids re-downloading.

Jump to the documentation folder:

cd /Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets

Recurse through all the documentation sets and set the current user as the owner:

for f in *.docset; do sudo chown -R $USER $f; done

Unlock the documentation sets:

for f in *.docset; do SetFile -a l $f; done

N.B. Your documentation path may be different (check ~/Library/...), you should make sure that $USER is correctly set to your username, you will need the root password
