Xcode 4 won't allow me to open the storyboard edited in Xcode 5

Question

I have a problem: I can't open the Storyboard file in Xcode 4.6 after having used the app in Xcode 5. What should I do to open it in Xcode 4?

Answer 1

Go back to your Storyboard in Xcode 5, then go to the right pane under the File Inspector tab (select it from the top, it's the icon with the little blank sheet). You will find a section called Interface Builder Document. There, set Opens in as Xcode 4.6 instead of Default (5.0). It will also change the way your user interface will look like, since Xcode 4.X doesn't support iOS 7 SDK, which contains the User Interface components (known as flat UI).

Though, you can use Xcode 5 to develop for iOS 6 (I do). EDIT As Idan said, you won't be able to submit apps for the App Store from a beta version of Xcode, so until its official 'stable' release comes out

Btw, You can develop for iOS5,6 etc. with Xcode 5 but you cannot submit the app with a beta Xcode. So you would have to wait or use old Xcode to submit.
