Hi Ben,
It is safer to those steps every time you have to use a different Xcode
version (with older LC versions), since if you don't that, you *might* see
some unexpected (and completely non-descriptive) errors when building iOS
standalones.
May I ask why you have to switch back to an older LC version? Is there a
bug in the current newest LC version that prevents you from using it?
Best,
Panos
