What’s the latest on having more than one version of xCode on the same disk? I’d like to test (at least in the simulator) under iOS 5, but still need the earlier version for current uploads. Last time I tried this, I ran into problems and had to trash three versions of xcode and reinstall the one for iOS 4.2 to get back into production.
You can still install as many versions of Xcode as you like. However you cannot install Xcode 3.x on Lion, and when it's already installed it's not officially supported, though it may work or there may be problems.
I had both 3.2.6 and 4.1 installed on Lion (3.2.6 installed prior to updating to Lion), and while I could get most things done, if I deleted from the simulator an IOS program I was working on, all programs but the Finder no longer registered in the Dock or the quick switch (Alt-Tab) display.
Shortly thereafter, the machine would crash. I couldn't restart because somehow the process list included the apps, but the apps didn't respond to anything.
I un-installed 3.2.6 and 4.1, restarted, and reinstalled 4.1. I've had no problems since.
