Uninstall Xcode

I opened up my Xcode, and I have to admit: it's been awhile. To define "awhile": my version was version 4.1, and was a pre-App Store installation. Now, version 4.3.2 is the current version, so I wanted to update - but was unable to, since no update procedure is available anymore. Darnit!

OK, so let's go for a fresh start: uninstall the puppy, and start clean, from the official installer.

For those who want to know how to uninstall Xcode, for any reason, you can just open up a terminal, and enter this command:

sudo <developer folder>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

<developer folder> is the directory where the developer tools are installed. By default, the path is /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools

If you are warned about using sudo, that's normal: you are executing a command as root on the system, which means that you have full power.
You are asked for your password: enter your password. No characters will appear, due to security: by the number of *, people looking over your shoulder could easier hack your password.

Uninstallation will run for a while, cleaning the entire developers tools. You can reinstall via the Mac App Store.

Fresh and clean!

Head First iOS Development

Hi all,

I started this blog as a sibling to my other blog over @ http://www.headfirstandroid.com/ . This blog will be filled with posts as soon as I start reading the book.

Let me point out at this point that I simply created this blog to write about my experiences in starting to learn how to develop in iOS, and reading through the book Head First iPhone and iPad Development.

I am in no way affiliated with Dan and Tracey Pilone, the Head First Labs, O'Reilly or any other party involved in the production of the book. I am merely a developer, reading a book, trying to build a blog about iOS development. This site will not replace the official material in any way.
Consider this site an hommage, not only to the brilliant work of the writers, Dan and Tracey, but also to the Head First Labs, for doing an excellent job in educating people, as well as putting the fun back in developing!


See you soon!
