"I for one can't upgrade to Lion as I have stuff in my environment which apparently breaks under Lion. So rather than restore my devices to 5.0.1 and all the hassle that involves, I put my hacking hat on and came up with the following solution.
It presumes your current XCode 4.2 installation is in /Developer, and make sure XCode is NOT running.
Download the Lion 4.3.1 XCode DMG file, and mount it so that you can see it from Finder.
Fire up a Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal) - don't worry UNIX-virgins, it's all straightforward :)
Now enter the following commands into the terminal (note, your password will have to be entered after the first command):
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.1.sdk /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
sudo cp -R /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/5.1\ \(9B176\) /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
sudo rm -f ./Latest
sudo ln -s ./5.1\ \(9B176\) ./Latest
Now just unmount the dmg in Finder, fire back up XCode, and your 5.1 device will now work with XCode 4.2...
Hope that helps people!"
Update on the middle of development cycle without measuring the consequences is a bad idea. And even when updating, do it on a controlled environment where you can switch back if this go wrong. I updated to Lion and iOS 5.1 last week, and Lion came out months ago.

Let me beg to differ. When I am forced to go back to Snow Leopard, I feel cramped. When I return to Lion, I feel a breath of fresh air. But all this doesn't matter. You have your opinion, I have mine. Neither one is worth Apple supporting an obsolete operating system to develop for its current OS offering. If you were a Mac OS developer, would you demand to be able to develop for the latest Mac OS using an obsolete one? If you didn't like Snow Leopard, would you demand to be able to develop with Leopard (Tiger, Panther, Puma, Cheetah, Rhapsody, Mac OS 9, 8, 7…)? If you didn't like the Macintosh, would you demand to be able to develop with….
Well, wasn't this allowed for a long period of time? Think about the education market.
What sucks here is iOS 5.1 was released on to a device that I have provisioned without a warning that I could no longer use it for development if I upgraded.
Apple still ships Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard, for iOS development doesn't it? It's right there on the website. If you want to let the world evolve without you, you'll eventually face extinction.
I hate Xcode 4's windowing scheme like there is no tomorrow, I have voiced why often and loud. Yet I decided to use Xcode 4 even where Xcode 3 could still be made to work. I curse it everyday, but I'm still better off keeping up to date.
Yeah, I hate it too.
So you need to make your choice:
- you can (for the time being) go back to 5.0. And very soon be left behind.
- you can embrace the future and try to make it better.
For my current projects, there is NOTHING in iOS 5.1 that I need to use that isn't in 5.0.1
