iPod software version too high?

Question

I bought a new iPod touch today and I installed iOS 7 on it in order to beta test my new designs, color schemes, and speed enhancements. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 with Xcode 4.2 Build 4C199 (iOS 5). When I plugged my iPod in and pressed "use for development" in the xcode organizer I got an error saying that I couldn't use the iPod because the software version was too high. What should I do?

Answer 1

Use Xcode 5, which you can get from the same place you got iOS 7 from (provided you're a registered developer).

Answer 2

Regardless of the iOS version, you can not build to an iOS version higher than that of the SDK you have installed. Update your Xcode to the version that comes with the SDK that matches the iOS version you wish to build to.

Answer 3

You need to download and install the Xcode 5 beta
