Xcode 101: Installing the 3.2 SDK alongside the 3.1.1 SDK

how can i safely remove the Beta SDK i installed in /Developer32 ? Can i just do the typical 'move to trash' or use AppZapper?

thanks for the tip erica, obviously answers my post on the other thread.

surprises me, given that a lot of people would presumably want to do this, that i saw no notes about handling this situation in the iphone dev center - tho maybe i missed it

Great tip Erica. I just found out about quick keys when you mentioned it in your post. Could you tell us what you use quick keys for when coding?

Hey Erica, I'm also a big fan of QuicKeys. Would love to read about some macros you have created.

Yeah I originally thought that the fact XCode was always bundled with the SDK meant that the whole kit wasn't kosher for production.

However, the beta installers never 'suggest' you not do a default install, and you can always choose your target SDK.

I would really like to see Apple release a self-updating XCode that takes the guesswork out of all of this without making you go to the website and download the giant 'binary blob du jour' and then try to figure out how much work you have to put into not screwing up your production environment.

My external hard drive is having issues, but I've been managing to still use both SDKs (with the help from my Hackintosh).

I always just install the latest official SDK in /Developer and the latest beta SDK in /DeveloperBETA

Installing over the previous versions never seems to have an adverse effect, as far as I can tell.

Is this necessary? When you install the new SDK you can still use older versions of the APIs (3.0, 3.1, etc.) for building/testing. Unless you want to use old versions of Xcode, the simulator, or the other tools why would you keep them lying around?

Also, could you delete my first comment? Posted on there by mistake, thanks to 1Password auto-filling the password, along with the comment I posted a while back....

But what if you already installed 3.2 and you want to install 3.1.3? When I installed 3.2, did it install on the standard Developer folder? If yes, how do I move the 3.2 items to a new folder without damaging Xcode?
