in this course Amit uses xcode 5. the newest version is xcode 6.1 which is probably what you are using.

I am using the last version of Xcode( 6 beta 3 ).

I am learning in Tree house swift so its the best version for it.

I those cases I usually recommend to upgrade to the latest version. But its your choice ! :)

Good luck,

Emmanuel.

you may want to upgrade to 6.1. Apple introduced some changes to Swift with the release of 6.1

Thanks I uninstalled the latest version and went back to 5.1.1, because I was having trouble finding some of the things he was talking about in the video. When I finish this course I will update to the latest version to learn swiift.

thats probably the best thing to do. There were several changes in Xcode 6 to the sprite kit game template, so you have had to figure out what you needed to do to make it work like Amit has it setup. Without any knowledge of sprite kit that can be tough to figure out.

This way you should be able to follow along with the videos exactly without having to worry about issues that arise because of version differences.

You can actually have multiple versions of Xcode on the same system, just rename Xcode 5.1.1 to Xcode 5.1.1 as when installed normally its just named Xcode thats why you can’t have two apps with the same name in the Applications folder.

Also, you don’t really need to use an older version of Xcode to do these tutorials. Just manually change some things and it will work perfectly. I say this because if you’re going to upgrade again, then you’re still going to be confused, might as well learn the differences now then struggle later. Just a suggestion.

This comment is not just for you as I see the question was asked 4 months ago an may no longer be relevant to you, but someone else may have the same problem.

Do you guys know what are all of those things that Xcode offers me to download?

Should I download them? Picture: http://srv2.jpg.co.il/6/5495efeeb10b9.png
