Can you use XCode6.3 with IOS7.1 SDK

Question

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

Answer 1

I'm using XCode6 and SDK version 8 regularly now, but I had to compile an app with version 7 of SDK, because version 8 was causing a lot of problems on devices with iOS8 installed, while in devices with iOS7 installed everything was running fine.. (!!)

I then:

• went to XCode Downloads
• browsed through some pages in order to get the latest XCode 5 version and downloaded it
• opened the DMG with Image Mounter
• rightclicked XCode icon and selected "Show package contents"
• browsed Finder through Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
• copied iPhoneOS7.sdk and pasted it to /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
• restart XCode
• now you can select SDK 7.1 as the one to use in your project

this has immediately solved all of my issues with the app
