RussianQuestion
I was wondering if there is a way that I could install Xcode 6 along side Xcode 5. I've seen people say you could but they haven't really explained why. Can someone help to explain why? Also, how would you uninstall it if I wished to in the future?
Solution
It's simple. The Xcode 6 beta is named Xcode6-beta.app and you drag install it into /Applications. The GM version of Xcode is called Xcode.app. If you need to switch the command line tools you use xcode-select. Nothing has changed here. It's the same as it's been. When you want to "uninstall" it, drag it to the trash. It's that simple.
OTHER TIPS
You can also change the default command line tools via GUI, if you prefer: XCode > Preferences > Locations, Dropdown "Command Line Tools"...
Attention, you can effectively install Xcode 6 and keep Xcode 5 but this is not working perfectly fine. For example this broke my Xcode 5 IOS6 simulators and I am now unable to run my apps on this old ios version (see here)
I didn't find any solution for now and there may be others problems, so be aware this operation is not without risks
You might be far better off creating a partition with OSX Yosemite and installing Beta Software there. I moved over my apps to the Yosemite partition and only the Xcode 6 Beta 4 ran them - yeah!
Here is where I will work with untested software.
Good luck!
