If you want to uninstall an Apple docset you can instead manually delete the file from the Xcode DocSets directory. Unfortunately you cannot remove an Apple docset using the ‘-’ button in the preferences pane. You can end up with at least one result from each version of the documentation which means you need to be careful that you are reading the latest version. Searching for a class or framework in the Xcode organiser can be confusing when you have lots of old documentation installed. ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets For example to manually retrieve the iOS 4.3 docset, first retrieve the atom feed using curl and grep for the link elements in the feed (note that I am using https as the http link is actually just a redirect):

If for some reason you want to download the docset without using Xcode you can manually fetch the feed and use it to get the direct URL to the docset archive.

You should then see the new feed in the list of docsets and you can click the Install button to download it. Copy and paste the required URL into the dialog and click the Add button. To subscribe to a docset you need to use the small “+” button in the middle of the window (see previous screenshot). The following URL’s cover the most common iOS docsets (I have shown them as but you can also specify or even feed://):
In the example below I have highlighted the feed URL for the iOS 6.1 docset: Luckily even if you cannot find the feed you need on another installation it is not too difficult to guess the URL.įrom the Documentation tab of the Xcode Downloads preferences pane you can check the URL of a selected docset in the lower information window. If you have access to an older install of Xcode on a different machine which has the missing docsets you can use it to find the feed URL’s. Adding Old Docsets to XcodeĪs long as you know the URL of the docset feed you need it is easy to add it back to Xcode. Unfortunately since in my case I have recently done a clean install on a new machine I am missing some of the earlier iOS 4.x and 5.x documentation sets. The documentation for the most commonly used iOS and Mac OS X developer libraries can be downloaded and installed from the Downloads pane of the Xcode preferences (⌘,). For example, Xcode 4.6.1 which is the current version available in the Mac App Store at time of writing includes feed subscriptions to the docsets for iOS 6.1, OS X 10.8 and Xcode 4.6:

It is beyond the scope of this post but you can find more details on how to integrate your own documentaion with Xcode in the Apple Documentation Set Guide.Ī clean install of Xcode will download and install the docsets for the current versions of iOS, OS X and Xcode. Xcode Documentation Sets (“docsets”) are packaged as standard OS X bundles and updated via an RSS or Atom feed. This post shows how to get that older documentation back should you need it. I recently did a clean install of Xcode 4.6.1 on a new Mac and found I was missing some of the earlier iOS 4.x and 5.x documentation sets.
