Updating the iPhone iOS 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 SDK, Do I have to download the whole 2.5 Gigs?

Question

As the the Question asks,

I currently sport xcode 3.2.3 with iOS 4.0.1 but I want to test on my iPhone which is stuck on 4.0.2

Thus I cannot do so until the SDK for 4.0.2 is accessible from xcode.

Where can I download a patch update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 because the iPhone members page seems to only link me to the package including xcode 3.2.3 with iOS4.0.2 SDK

I don't want to download the whole thing because it's > 2.5 gigs and my New Zealand internet Connection is shizenhouzen.

I can't restore to a previous version, because for some reason I only have a previous back up of the iPhone on my now defunct windows PC.

Answer 1

I'm afraid you have to download the entire SDK - Apple do not provide 'patches' (4.0.1 to 4.02, for example) AFAIK, and I'd be nervous about downloading anything that claims it is a patch.

It's a common grumble, twitter is a fun place when apple push these .1 SDK updates out :)

Answer 2

You do have to download the whole thing to upgrade. It really sucks. :-(

I wish I could remember to download the SDK before upgrading my devices.

You can still build adhoc releases of your app and install them using itunes if you're in a real bind - it's just the debugger, console viewing and automatic installation of builds that won't work at all.
