Steps to run xcode 8 side by side with xcode 7

The below steps can be used to install xcode 8 side by side with xcode 7

1. open Finder and go to Application folder, right clicking on Xcode, and select "duplicate", once it is done, rename "Xcode Copy" to "Xcode7"
2. Somehow the xcode 8 does not appear in the App Store update list. So you need manually to get it. Just open App Store app, and searching for "xcode",  then getting the Xcode 8 from there.
3. once the the XCode 8 installed, restarting the MAC.
4. By default, when starting xcode, xcode 8 will be selected. If you want to use xcode 7, just open Finder, and go to Application folder to start xCode7 from there.
5. Note, if you also use command line tools to build xcode project, you will need to switch the xcode path to the right version to do that by running the below command from terminal

xcode-select --print-path
//show the current selected xcode command line tool path


sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode7.app 
//switch command line tool to xcode 7

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app 
//switch command line tool to xcode 8
