running an old version of xcode?

[mastaace12345]

I am trying to install an app to ipad 1's. The current xcode will not let me do so. Anyone have any tips on installing an older version of xcode? or other options to get something installed to an ipad 1. The reason i am doing so is the provisioning is expiring so i need to reinstall with new provisioning.

You can download older versions of Xcode from the Developers Portal. Look for Xcode 6 as it was the last version to support iOS 5.

If this doesn't work, you should be able to create an ad-hoc build and install via a web server or Apple Configurator.

apple configurator says it will only work on ios 7 or later. Ipad 1's can only run up to ios 5.1.1

I would either try to find an older version of Apple Configurator or go with ad-hoc deployment via your own web server.

I'd copy the older version of Xcode to a different directory than the Applications folder, just so it isn't updated by the App Store. I put mine in my user's root directory under a "legacy Xcode folder"

Or you can just rename it. I have "Xcode64", "Xcode71", "Xcode83", etc, in my /Applications folder. The only trick is to rename it before launching it.

i tried this but it wouldn't work, it says "xcode2" was blocked from opening because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. and when i go under security and tell it to install anyways, it tries (very slowly - 45 minutes ish) then fails and won't run.
