IOS Xcode vs OS X Xcode

I'm a Mac newbie. I'd like to give Xcode a try. I've searched the 'net, but all that I've found is example code for iOS. Is Xcode for iOS identical to Xcode for OS X? Should I search the 'net for example code for Objective-C? Is Objective-C identical to Xcode? I'd like to get some books. Should I get beginner books for Objective-C or beginner books for Xcode or does it make any difference?
I have Mavericks on my Macbook Pro & Mountain Lion on my Mac mini. I've downloaded Xcode onto my laptop but not onto my mini.
Thanks.

All? iOS is certainly popular but if you haven't found any OS X examples then you haven't searched very much of the net.
Is Xcode for iOS identical to Xcode for OS X?
Identical? No. There is the whole simulator thing. Interface Builder is different obviously. Xcode itself does both so it is more or less identical.

It doesn't make any difference. Example code is really only useful for people who could write it themselves but find it more efficient to start with a template. If you don't know, then you need to learn first. Otherwise, when the example code fails as it does 75% of the time, you're stuck.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Project Upgraded from xcode 3.2 to xcode 4.5 give semantic errors

I upgraded my project from xcode 3.2 to xcode 4.5
My code is platform independent and it compiles sucessfully on Windows and Linux with out any errors
But on Mac 10.7.4 and xcode 4.5 it gives semantic errors - "Explicit specialization has extraneous, inconsistent storage class static"
I saw some post which sayes adding header search path as recurssive causes this problem. But all my header search paths are non recursive.
Please let me know what could be causing the issue. I am new to Mac and i would appriciate any help
Thanks in Advance

What is the code in question? While the compilers in Linux and Windows will support templates, they will accept older syntax. The newer Clang compiler in Xcode strives to give better error messages and part of that is strict compilance with the C++ standard.

Can't download xcode on mac says:Xcode can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required.

You need to upgrade your operating system; call 1-800-MY-APPLE, ask for an OS X Lion download code. It will be $29 or so.

Installing Xcode in /Developer? (Xcode already installed)

I've just installed QT creator and tried to run a simple bit of code, but it failed however because: "Xcode is not installed in /Developer. Please use xcode-select to choose Xcode installation path. My iMac is new (OS X 10.7.5) and Xcode is installed and works fine itself. How can I fix the problem QT is having with Xcode?
Thanks

Please use xcode-select to choose Xcode installation path.
If you can do this, use xcode-select (whatever that is) to tell it where Xcode is, then tell it. Xcode is installed in /Applications

Xcode 3.1 from Xcode 2.4 - Symbols not found even though library is linked?

Hello all,
I apologize in advance for what seem like a rather noobish question, but my Google-fu has failed me for a few hours now.
I have inherited an Xcode project that was developed 3 years ago for OS 10.3. It needs to be slightly updated and made to run on OS 10.4 and up (PPC and x86), but I can't get the project to compile; I am getting 18 errors about symbols not being found. The symbols in question are contained in a static library, and their function definitions are contained within header files that are included. I am using GCC-4.0 and am linking against the 10.4 SDK. I have included the proper search path for the library in my build settings, added it to my Libraries group and "Link Binary with Library" build phase multiple times, and confirmed that the proper header files are included.
I am unsure what my next step should be here; any advice or links would be most appreciated!

Okay, after running file on my library I get:
[code]
my_library.a: current ar archive random library
[code]
Does this imply that my library is not usable on both architectures? If so, how can I find out which architectures it will work on? I don't think I can get the original source for the static library to recompile.
Thanks so much!

Help with Xcode 3.2.6 with ios sdk 4.3: will not work...

So I recenty upgraded my Mac to OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and the xcode that came with it would not work effectively. I just downloaded xcode 3.2.6 with ios sdk 4.3 from Apple and installed them (after having to change the date to 2011). Xcode worked but opening the interface builder resulted in a blank window opening, not the actual interface builder. So then I tried to reinstall the .dmg file of xcode and ios sdk, which was again successful, but when I click on any of the applications it installs to open them I get an error. This is what happens when trying to open xcode:

Can anyone please help me? Ps, I've changed the directory location to "myname" for security reasons;p so that is not the problem

The error message is telling you that the linker is looking for the Xcode executable on your desktop and can't find it. Where did you install Xcode? The default location is in /Developer.
It sounds like you have an outdated alias to Xcode on your desktop. Can you launch Xcode if you navigate to Xcode in the Finder and launch it from there?

The Snow Leopard DVD does not contain the iPhone SDK. You must download the iPhone SDK from Apple's iPhone developer site and install the SDK.
http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
You must register as an Apple developer to download the iPhone SDK. There is a registration link at the iPhone developer site.
