I'm going to need to support XCode 6.4 for a while. How can I install XCode 7 and not overwrite my 6.4 install. It was pretty straight forward with XCode 5 & 6 but doesn't look to be so easy with 6 & 7.
Will it be possible to install 7 to a different folder? I didn't see the option when I tried the install. I canceled it to be safe.
Thanks in advance!

What have you tried that didn't work? Renaming 6.4 from Xcode to Xcode6.4 worked for me.
One other option would be to create another bootable OS X partition on your Mac (or an external drive), and install different versions of Xcode (and even OS X) in each.
That didn't do the trick. I tried renaming XCode.app to XCode6.app and my simulator won't start. Renaming it back to XCode git the simulator back.
The error is: "Failed to lookup the process ID if com.wasatch.xxxxxx after successful launch. Perhaps it crashed after launch".
Works fine after I name it back to XCode.app. Is this some command line tools location issue?

I drag the GM to the desktop instead of into Applications, rename it after it is done uncompressing, then drag it into Applications. I read somewhere else though that if you just drag it into Applications, it will see you already have an Xcode there and offer to rename it to Xcode 2.
EDIT: I rename it to Xcode-GM.
That worked! Now I will have to download the release version of 7 instead of letting it update. Thanks.
