When I open the Xcode documentation window (using menu item under
help), I see a "!" character in a circle next too "Core Library". So
I click it, I get a spinning wait control, and then a NSError panel
with this message "Failed to download documentation: Documentation
package was not found on server. Refresh the documentation feeds to
get the latest information." [For completeness, I tried to getthe
Java Library and got the same message.]
There were some permission problems on the server that we are
addressing (the permissions situation has gotten more complex
recently, and we'll work to smooth this out with the website team).
What is maddening about the current state of affairs is that even
though there is a docset on my system for Core Reference, Xcode
doesn't like it, so when I try to actually view some reference page,
I get a Safari window with the relevant page as downloaded from
developer.apple.com [this behavior was referenced in an earlier
thread.]
Your doc set is actually being used here -- as an experiment in
reducing the initial download size of the developer tools, the doc set
that comes with the install contains index information, but the index
points to the documents on the website. Once you are able to
successfully update the doc set, you will then be able to view the
documentation locally.
We are making several adjustments to improve the experience in future
releases.

When I first updated to Xcode 3.0, I had trouble getting updates due

I just updated to Xcode 3.1(Beta), and now I cannot get the "Core
Library" to update.
I look in /Developer/Documentation/docsets and see the following:
drwxrwxr-x 3 _devdocs wheel 102 Mar 17 12:39
com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.CoreReference.docset
drwxrwxr-x 3 _devdocs wheel 102 Mar 17 12:43
com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.DeveloperTools.docset

So, I think I am having the same problems as before. After fussing
around with the KeyChain item, I finally just delete both entries.
Xcode does some caching, so I quit and restart Xcode, and when I
open the documentation window it prompts me for name/password to get
the documentation. I enter them but get the same failure.
Drilling down, I do a get-info on Core Library, and see the Feed
URL: http://developer.apple.com/rss/adcdocsets.atom OK, if I cannot
do it automatically I'll just do it by hand. [Quit and restart
Safari, then open a new window, paste in the above, and voila, I get
a window with the various docsets listed along with a
"basicAuthGetSoftware" text button. This looks promising, so I click
on that. Now, I get another name/password panel, I enter my info,
and I get a page saying Access Denied (with a "P1" error.) At least
this is consistent behavior, but why does this not work?
So, you say my connect.apple.com name/password is no good, right?
Then why can I still go directly to connect.apple.com, with the same
name/password, and download items at will? The KeyChain items with
connect.apple.com must be the valid entries for Xcode and Safari,
since when removed both apps prompt for them, and if I check the
"save" box in the panel, an entry does get made for
connect.apple.com in the KeyChain.
