Xcode 5 shows the same device twice

Question

Ever since my team switched from Xcode 4 to 5, this weird bug shows up, that:

When we connect the iPhone/iPod touch to the macs, the device will be shown as two devices as deployment candidate. Both have the same device name correctly displayed but if we run our app on the 1st one, sometimes a segue will cause a crash whereas the same segue will work fine on the 2nd one.

This issue occurs on all of our devices on different macs: iPod Touch 5, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 with iOS 6 and 7

So my questions are, why are there 2 of the same device, and further, how do I fix it?

@rakmoh Yes, we moved iOS6.1 SDK from Xcode 4 to Xcode 5 by copy-paste. — Fermat's Little Student, Sep 27 '13 at 15:32
It's most likely a bug related to having the 6.1 and 7.0 SDKs side-by-side like that in Xcode 5. It happens on my system as well. — Petesh, Sep 27 '13 at 15:47

as @Petesh states, this is due to adding the 6.1 SDK to xCode 5. Additionally, one of the devices will run with iOS 6.1 visual styles while the other will run with 7.0 styles. Sadly you can't tell the difference which will run with the 6.1 styles and which will run with the 7.0 styles.

Don't use symbolic link to sdk 6.1. I have deleted symbolic link and made copy of sdk 6.1 into xcode. Crashes were eliminated after this actions.

How exactly do I proceed this? If I did this, would I still have the ability to create new project with iOS 6.1 sdk? – Fermat's Little Student Oct 24 '13 at 13:14
Yes. There are 2 ways to work with iOS 6.1. Making symbolic link to sdk 6.1 causes crashes for me. [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18423896/is-it-possible-to-install-ios-6-sdk-on-xcode-5) – Vlad Garifulin Oct 25 '13 at 03:31
I copied SDK 6.1 into Xcode and yet I have this problem also. – JohnK Jan 05 '14 at 20:42
Removing simlinks to sdk6.2 from xcode5 helped me resolve this issue with xcode5. – Valeriy Van Jan 30 '14 at 14:26
