Can Xcode 6 and Xcode 5 coexist on the same computer?

Question

I currently have and use Xcode 5, and while I\'d like to experiment with Xcode 6, I don\'t want to use it for production. Can I have both of them installed on the same compu

Answer 1

I'm running OS X 10.9.3 and have XCode 5.1.1 installed. Today I installed the XCode 6 beta and it went without problems. Now I have a XCode and a Xcode6-Beta app.

Answer 2

My Xcode 5 icon in the dock turned into a big question mark, as it appears to have been deleted with the install of Yosemite. Further, If I try to re-download it from the app store, it says my version of OS X is 'too new' and refuses to allow me to download. Next I downloaded Xcode 5.1.1 from the developer downloads, which finally allowed me to install it. They are both happily coexisting now on Yosemite.

Answer 3

As an extension to @Ray Richards answer ;) - You can install Xcode 5.1.1 from the following link https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode#

This should allow you to run 5.1.1 and 6 on Yosemite.
