How to downgrade Xcode to previous version?
I have to use Xcode occasionally, and have now come across a problem where I've upgraded to Xcode 4.6, but another piece of software I'm using doesn't support it, so I need to go back to Xcode 4.5.
I'm not used to the way Macs work in general, so if the answers provided could be written with that in mind, that'd be helpful. :)
I'm assuming you are having at least OSX 10.7, so go ahead into the applications folder (Click on Finder icon > On the Sidebar, you'll find "Applications", click on it ), delete the "Xcode" icon. That will remove Xcode from your system completely. Restart your mac.
Now go to Xcode Releases page or Apple Developer More Downloads and download an older version of Xcode, as needed and install. You need an Apple ID to login to that portal.
After install, you can also switch between multiple versions:
