So as you see in the picture, I'm getting no iOS templates option when I launch Xcode 4.0.2, which I installed via the applications cd came with my iMac intel i7(running 10.6.8)
I tried restarting the mac, reinstalling xcode yet nothing worked. I still don't have the iOS option so I'm unable to work on iOS apps.
I'm pretty new to Xcode and all this stuff, so any help is needed and appreciated from you people.
Thanks in advance.
Xcode-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
AFAIK, you have to join the iOS development program so you can DL the 4.2 version. Details at http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action.
Thanks for that helpful answer. It helped me to realise that I was not registered for the dev program, now I am.
However, when I was led to app store to download Xcode 4.2, it says Xcode 4.2 is for "lion only". Also, it directs me to download Xcode 3 for snow leopard. Now that gets me confused as I have Xcode 4.0.2 already came with snow leopard install disc.
Sorry for being a silly but I guess I need some help here with the download.
Thanks.
You don't get it from the App Store. Go to http://developer.apple.com/technologies/ios/ and get it from the iOS developer site.
Apparently something's wrong my status.
I've seen that page while I was following other links to download, and I actually clicked the "Download Xcode" button(blue one) and it directs me here when I click it: http://developer.apple.com/xcode/
Just in case, I'm putting an image so you see what I see on that page:
I'm %100 sure that I was registered for the iOS dev program. I've received that confirmation e-mail tells me that I was registered successfully.
I've tried those two links too. I don't want to get a paid membership and I tried "tools and languages documentation" one as well, which got me here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#recipes/xcode_help-documentation_prefere nces/DownloadingandInstallingXcodeComponents/DownloadingandInstallingXcodeCompon ents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010349-CH2-SW1
Now the strange thing is, when I got Xcode preferences, there is just documentation tab next to key bindings tab(as a main tab). So I don't have any downloads tab next to key bindings tab, nor do I have a components sub-tab.
I don't have to pay anywhere just to be able to download Xcode 4(instead of Xcode 3) and start learning how to code apps and become an iOS dev, do I?
Thank you for your patience and help so far. And as I type this, some idea just popped in my mind. Do you think I should download Xcode 3 and try to update it the way it shows in the link I gave right up there, in the beginning of this post?
Thanks but I don't see any Xcode 4 download links in that link either. There is Xcode 4.2 for lion link, Xcode 4.2.1 for lion link and way too much older Xcode version links in there.
Started to think Apple is hiding it from me.
I'm confused how you intend to work w/iOS without access to the full range of resources made available with a paid developer account...
Hmmmm... Well since you can tell I'm a newbie to all of this, I might got it all wrong.
Do you mean I must get the paid($99/year) membership if I want to work with iOS?
When I go to Programs section up there, I can see iOS Developer Program ($99/year) thing but I didn't think that was a must to enroll.
If you want to play with iOS, simply use Mac App Store/Lion and download Xcode 4.2.1 there.
If you intend to work with iOS, the vast amount of resources are part of the paid program behind a required NDA and logon to the iOS Dev Center.
Or is it your intention to rely on those that have paid and are currently in a program...
First off, I'm kind of stuck with snow leopard for reasons. Because of pro tools, I can't upgrade to lion yet.
And second, my intention is to code (commercial)apps for iOS, especially games. And I believe I'm at the right place but couldn't figure out what to do exactly yet. What do you say?
I don't want to get a paid membership
AFAIK, that's required if you want Xcode Tools 4.2+ and code iOS 5 apps w/o running Lion.
Are you asking for an endorsement to work with limited and out of date tools?
That's your choice...
My advice...do what you need to do and get current.
Looks so. When I go to here(http://developer.apple.com/technologies/ios5/) and click "Get Started" and it simply says I'm not authorized to access that content.
(error page: http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/unauthorized/)
I'm currently downloading Xcode 3 that I mentioned before, I'll see if something else happens. If does not, that will certainly mean you have to pay if you want it running on snow leopard.
Hopefully this topic would be helpful for other starters, when/if they face this kind of issue.
Thank you baltwo and and K T, for your helpful answers and time.
