I'm trying to build for iOS 7 from the command line using a makefile, but I have already installed 8.4 SDK. I followed the standard procedure to install it using Xcode and it seems to be installed, as shown in the screen shot below.

However, when trying to find the SDK with xcodebuild I doesn't show. Here's my output:

$ xcodebuild -showsdks
2015-09-09 14:59:33.587 xcodebuild[85926:12435307] [MT] PluginLoading: Required plug-in compatibility UUID 7FDF5C7A-131F-4ABB-9EDC-8C5F8F0B8A90 for plug-in at path '~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/VVDocumenter-Xcode.xcplugin' not present in DVTPlugInCompatibilityUUIDs
OS X SDKs:

    OS X 10.10                      -sdk macosx10.10

iOS SDKs:
    iOS 8.4                         -sdk iphoneos8.4

iOS Simulator SDKs:
    Simulator - iOS 8.4             -sdk iphonesimulator8.4

What do I need to do?

So, to clarify, you're under the belief that to target iOS 7 you must use the iOS 7 SDK? – trojanfoe Sep 09 '15 at 14:04
No. By linking against the correct SDK I get to find issues such as using APIs which are only available on later versions. It's mostly a sanity check. – André Fratelli Sep 09 '15 at 14:22
You should update your question with that information. – trojanfoe Sep 09 '15 at 14:23
I guess it should be enough to be as high in the comments as it is :) thank you, nonetheless – André Fratelli Sep 09 '15 at 16:58
