I installed xcode4 and in Organizer - Documentation I can see iOS 4.3 Library, Mac OS X 10.6 Library and Xcode 4.0 Developer Library. However, when I'm offline, I cannot access the iOS library documentation, I'm getting Error Loading URL You are not connected to internet. For the other 2 libraries it works.

Anyone knows why it happens like that? There's no "get" button anymore in XCode > Preferences > Documentation.

open the link feed://developer.apple.com/rss/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone4_3.atom find the properly file for your iOS after finishing download copy the xar file to path /Developer/Documentation/DocSets/ and unzip it "sudo xar -xf *.xar" and unzip *.docset "sudo chown -R -P devdocs"

  • I think this is the right approach. Ultimately you get a document set that can be viewed inside or outside of Xcode. – Evadne Wu Mar 12 '13 at 17:44

For some reason the iOS 4.3 Library is downloaded later. When you are online go into Preferences for Xcode and select Documentation. You will see that library is likely disabled but ready to be downloaded. If that is the case there will be a "Get" button on the right side which you can use to start the download which may take a while.

Once it is downloaded you will be able to use that documentation library when you are offline.

  • Many thanks for your answer! However, I had a software update on my mac and that solved the iOS 4.3 Library issue, i don't know how... It downloaded it automatically. – andrei Apr 10 '11 at 10:44

Arguably simpler than any of these is to manually add the RSS feed for the documentation - at the bottom of the documentation download list is a + / - set of controls. Click + and paste in feed://developer.apple.com/rss/com.apple.adc.documentation.AppleiPhone4_3.atom and it'll automatically select the right one and start downloading (and notify you of updates, though I doubt there will be any more)

I was trying to get the documentation offline but could not find the "get" button.So I had to go to Preferences->Downloads->Documentation->Check and install now and then the new libraries showed up.Its better to check the "Check for and install updates automatically"
