My guess is that xcode 4.6.2 may be too old to use the BT package i downloaded. Should i try to get a newer computer to do this to save some headaches? Thanks, jason Title Comments I was able to borrow a macbook pro with OS 10.7 on it, so i had to use xcode 4.6.2 I'm having problems with semantic issues, related to NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1 and setSeparatorInsert.

If you are going to hit a hurdle, I think it will come when trying to submit to the app store; that may be when the later xcode may be required. That laptop should be capable of taking the mac upgrades to get you up to the latest, but having said that, the owner may not be upgrading for a reason!

Can that be updated to a later iOS SDK? thanks, jason Comments I actually downloaded xcode 4.6.3, and it says it came with the iOS 6.1 sdk. Can that be updated to a later iOS SDK? thanks, jason

And that will severely limit the number of people who can install your app. Bummer, but that's the way Apple rolls! Mark Comments I don't think you'll be able to download any newer SDK's than that.
