it gets worse. When you download Xcode 6.anything and update the docs it downloads iOS8 and OSX 10, appears to delete the old docsets, and the package receipts it writes in the library are (to my view) incorrectly named as com.apple.pkg.7.0.iOSDocset.plist and com.apple.pkg.10.9.OSXDocset.plist which then seems to stop either Xcode5.* redownloading them or XCode 6 using them.
I’ve found that every current version of Xcode 6 on my box, beta, GM, all of them, try to use docsets from the internet even though the docs are on the box and updated and nothing I’ve tried to fix that has worked. I’ve noticed this happening constantly over the last couple of years, always of course when I’m out somewhere without internet and suddenly find I have no docs because Xcode has quietly decided it’s not going to use the ones on the machine any more, despite them being up to date.
That, added to the ‘thou shalt not use any docset older than the one your version of Xcode wants’ I eventually gave up, paid the Dash guy his 20 bucks and use that for docs now. I have to do a small amount of maintenance work to keep docs up to date but it’s minor in the scheme of things.
