| The doc sets that come with installations are "shell" doc sets that contain search indexes and metadata, but no actual documentation. When Xcode downloads an update (or you force this by pressing the "Get" button), a new copy of the doc set is downloaded that contains all the documentation.
We do this because there is always a "day one update" when a new SDK or Xcode installation ships, and we wanted to avoid people downloading the docs as a large chunk of the SDK, then immediately downloading the updated docs. Instead, this way you just download the full doc set once.
To make things work in the meantime, if Xcode sees that a file isn't present in the doc set, it automatically goes to the website to display that file.

I was confused because my preferences showed the docsets had been installed and yet the directories were empty so I'm guessing XCode smartly went to the web for them, you seem a step back from that with the thing showing you haven't even gotten the docs yet.
Man coding without the documentation is REALLY hard, I'd forgotten how much I have come to depend on it!! On 07-Apr-2011, at 11:13 AM, G S wrote: On 07-Apr-2011, at 3:14 AM, Ronald Hayden wrote:

Glad this was brought up. I encountered the same problem, after searching for the exact same reference: UIButton. Looking at the documentation prefs, "iOS 4.3 Library" is greyed out and has a GET button. So something isn't right with the installer...
