IOS6 beta and continued development

I am wondering if I can try the iOS6 beta on my device, but still be able to develop my application (test it on my device with iOS6 beta) and send it to the AppStore.

I am not going to install Xcode 4.5 for iOS6 beta development. I just want to try the iOS6 beta on my device.

EDIT:

I noticed this thread on SuperUser. I will try this approach when I get home from work and let you know if this is possible.

You can easily install two versions of Xcode on your system (I installed both Xcode 4.4 and Xcode 4.5 beta 3), and my iPad is upgraded to iOS 6. I can test current applications on my iPad (we are working on these applications) and deploy them, of course, using Xcode 4.4. These applications must have an iOS 5.5.1 or lower goal and should not use any iOS 6 add-ons.

Installing both versions of Xcode is quite simple, as version 1 (4.4) is installed on the Mac App Store, and beta version (4.5) is installed as an .app file that you can drag and drop into the application folder. It has a different name, so it does not overwrite your version 4.4.

In order for Xcode to recognize your iOS 6 device, you need to open version 4.5 so that Organizer collects data from your device, and then you can open Xcode 4.4, it recognizes the device image and uses it (although you cannot iOS 6 with Xcode 4.4, you can test iOS 5 app on an iOS 6 device)

Hope this helps you

You will not be able to debug your code on your iOS 6 device using the current Xcode. For this you need Xcode 4.5.

if you are developing xcode 4.3.3 and iOS6 custom beta device. you can add the image of the iOS6 program to the Organizer menu to test the application on the beta version of the iOS6 device.

but you cannot develop iOS6 in xcode 4.3.3

This version of iOS is for installation on development devices registered in the Apple Developer Program only. Attempting to install this version of iOS in an unauthorized manner may result in your device becoming unusable, which may require warranty repairs. Devices upgraded to iOS 6 cannot be restored to earlier versions of iOS. Registered development devices will be able to upgrade to future beta versions and final iOS 6 software.

Xcode 4.5 Developer Preview cannot be used to submit applications to the iOS or Mac App Store. Continue to use the public version of Xcode to compile and submit applications to the App Store.

Xcode 4.5 Developer Preview and iOS 6 beta are pre-release software and are considered Apple’s sensitive information and are subject to the terms of your iOS software developer license agreement. Unauthorized distribution or disclosure of Apple Confidential Information is prohibited.
