How can I downgrade Xcode from version 7.0 to 6.4?

I have recently upgraded the version of Xcode to the latest one (7.0) and I start having corresponding compilation errors. I want to come back to 6.4.

You can download Xcode 6.4 from here: http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_6.4/Xcode_6.4.dmg

You can download the 6.4 version and install it alongside Xcode 7. Just give the 6.4 app version a new name.

  • Good to know, that I have few versions of them – Renat Gatin Sep 22 '15 at 17:05
  • How about command line tools and similar? If I remember, they are downlaoded via terminal. Can you also have two set of comand line tools? – Tom Sep 24 '15 at 07:44
  • You can download them from inside XCode if I remember correctly. – some_id Sep 25 '15 at 16:02
  • A couple of things with using two different versions of XCode: 1) Don't put spaces in the application name (eg, use 'Xcode6.app'): I've run into issues using custom shell scripts to configure libraries where spaces don't get escaped properly. 2) You can't have two sets of command line tools, but you shouldn't need them. The Xcode command line tools are just that: tools for the command line. Recent versions of Xcode use their own compilers, which are kept in the application package. – tterry Jan 27 '17 at 02:51
