I would like to test Xcode 5 without corrupting my Xamarin Studio/Xcode 4.6 environment.
I'm out of the office and can't backup my Mac right now. Has anybody tried this already? What steps do I need to follow?

If you have Xcode 5 at the time of this writing, you agreed not to discuss it publicly. Use Apple's developer forum instead. – Caleb Jun 13 '13 at 16:36

We are discussing Xamarin and I can hardly do that in the Apple forums. – laktak Jun 14 '13 at 16:10

You can install multiple Xcodes in parallel and Xamarin Studio has an "SDK Settings" panel which allows you to point Xamarin Studio at the Xcode path of your choice. I think it may need a restart after changing it, but otherwise it should work assuming that Xcode 5 hasn't changed the overall directory structure.
I maintain the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac (and MonoMac) addins for Xamarin Studio and will be installing Xcode 5 today to make sure things work and fix things if they don't.

Xamarin Studio found the SDK when I pointed it to the new Xcode5-DP.app. – valdetero Jun 11 '13 at 15:00
