I've read a few posts on how to install the missing documentation on Xcode 4.2 by going into the documents manager and downloading it directly. Other questions suggest me to look into the rss feed, but I get only the Mac OS Lion Core reference, I want the iOS reference as well.

That's very nice, but I can't connect to the internet from the Mac where I work, no need to enter in details, nor can install Mac OS on the PC where I connect, so my question is pretty simple:

Where can I obtain the required files to install them into Xcode and how do I install them?

Any links or instructions would be useful. Thanks in advance

EDIT To download the Xcode documentation I just need the actual URL where the files are located, can't download them using Xcode because the PC I have with internet has Windows.

EDIT Although the @Saurabh's answer didn't gave a 100% to what I wanted, if you check the image well, there is a field saying feed and there is where everybody having this issue should look.

EDIT: In order to complete the question and make life easier for those looking for the actual files, these are the links

Finally, as stated in this question yu can find the Mac OS Lion reference here:

Mac OS Lion Core Reference

Xcode 3.2.6 (at least) and before include the doc set with the download. All known Xcode download links are listed at this SO question: #10336247 – Yet

Here you are the steps:

Download the documentation from Xcode from any machine.

Go the download installation (See Figure Below)

Copy the "documentation set" files (it is actually packages with a lot of file so it is recommend to zip them).

Move them to the same location where you installed Xcode on the other machines

Restart Xcode.

Done.

How to download documentation file online - If you are connected to Internet you can download the documentation file. Go to Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads (this is the screen I attached). Here you will find iOS 4.3 Library in listing and and button on right "Install". Just Click the button "Install" for the items you want to download.

After documentation download you can see its path and copy the files to other systems. Hope it clears your question completely.. if not please post in comments.

Very nice, still the main point of the question is where do I download the documentation files from? – Marismarisa
Like I said from the begining, I can't connect to the internet from Mac, so I need where to get the files (like a RSS feed), so I can download them from windows. – Marismarisa
sorry you can't download documentation on windows system for iOS5. You can ask to a friend to download it on his mac and then you can copy the files to your offline mac – Badgett
yes and no... your answer did came up handy and I've found the files... will make a blog post about it soon... :) – Marismarisa
