can't open .XIB to another lower system version

Question

In my mac project I have created .XIB file in xcode 5.1.1(OSX 10.10.2). This .XIB file i can't open in xcode 5.1.1(OSX 10.8.5) another system.

Try below methods:

• open this file via pull from source control.
• copy and paste this file to another system(OSX 10.8.5).
• Change the 'open in' as xcode 5.1 and 'build for' as 'osx 10.8' in xcode.

But those method not working for me.

Please help me to this. Thanks.

Answer 1

I would suggest to upgrade to Xcode 6 and open the file there. Both Xcode 5 and 6 can be installed on the same system, so if you must use Xcode 5 on your current system, at least you can copy and paste the contents of the file.

Note that you will not be able to submit apps using Xcode 5 anymore as of February 2015.
