Will Xcode 4.3.2 suffice to build apps for iOS 6?

After today's announcement that iOS 6 Beta is available to developers today, I am wondering if I jump on the iOS 6 ASAP will I still be able to build my apps in progress on my device(iPhone) from Xcode 4.3.2? or will there be a required update for Xcode as well?

Update: Currently I have iOS 6 on my iPhone and Xcode 4.5 installed. After that the organizer in Xcode (4.3.2 and 4.5) said 'could not support development' in the Provisioning. Then fixed that, and now I have 4.3.2 saying that it is running my app on my iPhone, but its not showing up on my phone. And 4.5 gets to the 'TakingInstallLock' point in the process, and just keeps trying, but getting nowhere. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know of a solution?

Can I run Xcode on iPhone?

Xcode includes everything developers need to create great applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Xcode provides developers a unified workflow for user interface design, coding, testing, and debugging.

You can push apps to your phone from Xcode 4.3.x if your phone is running the iOS 6 Beta.

You cannot, however, utilize any of the iOS 6+ frameworks such as the new Social framework from within Xcode 4.3.x

I can't comment yet so this is to confirm that installing Xcode 4.5 DP acutally installs the iOS 6 SDK for Xcode 4.3.2 as well. This is rather obvious as SDK files are installed in a general place (namely the Library folder) of OSX.

The steps to use your updated iOS 6 device for development with Xcode 4.3.2 thus are:

Download Xcode 4.5 DP from the dev area of apple.com.

Install Xcode 4.5

Start up Xcode 4.3.2

Open up the devices section, choose your device for development, wait for the process of fetching information to finish and you are good to go.

Regards!
