I have created an application using Xcode 5 IDE, and it is ready to be submitted to the App Store , is there any possibility that apple would reject it if it's not built with Xcode 5.1 IDE ? I didn't yet install it. Is there any official memo saying that apps would get rejected if not built with Xcode 5.1? I know that apple won't accept any application built with any IDE lower than Xcode 5

  • Out of interest how come you don't want to upgrade? :) – Rich Apr 21 '14 at 13:32
  • @Rich of course i'm gonna upgrade, but reading the reviews about Xcode 5.1 i wasn't exactly encouraged to do that ! so i don't want to take any chances considering the submission phase of this app , there's a deadline really near ! but the upgrade will surely be built with Xcode 5.1 , and can i download a standalone version of it without overriding Xcode 5 ?? – Elias Rahme Apr 21 '14 at 13:36
  • Ah fair enough :) Don't be discouraged by the reviews, I found Xcode 5.1 to be much better! And you can indeed have 2 different versions installed and use `xcode-select` to pick the one you want. – Rich Apr 21 '14 at 13:38
  • @Rich yea i know that, considering i still have on my device Xcode 4.4 , Xcode 4.6 and Xcode 5 :P , but i searched the internet to find a source of download other than the App Store..cz app store will automatically override my current version, do you have any idea how can i do it ? ( i +1 your answer as a thank you for the relief !! ) – Elias Rahme Apr 21 '14 at 13:40

    You can download Xcode 5.1 directly from the [iOS dev center](https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action#downloads) as a standalone download! (You'll need to sign in to access that link though) – Rich Apr 21 '14 at 13:44
  • @Rich my friend you are an angel !!! Thank you so much ! – Elias Rahme Apr 21 '14 at 13:49

No, apple haven't announced anything around this (yet) so you should be fine. Last time (with iOS 6 / Xcode 4.6) they announced it about a couple of months before hand.

EDIT: The Apple dev site also says Xcode 5 still
