Question

I found following sentence in the Xcode 3.2.3 Readme (Posted: August 11, 2010 in iPhone Developer Center) –

“Xcode 3.2 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.4 or later.”

But my develop environment is 10.5.8 and don’t plan to upgrade my system currently. How to install the latest Xcode 3.2.3 and iOS SDK 4.0.2 provided by Apple?

Did someone ever succeed to install the latest dmg on leopard instead of snow leopard? and how?

Thanks in advance.

You’re going to have to bite the bullet. The fact of the matter is that the later SDKs depend on features that are only available in 10.6 and not 10.5.

Even if you get it to install on 10.5 that’s only the first hurdle. After that you might not even be able to get it to run, or it won’t work properly or it will crash,. etc. etc. etc.

Apple move very quickly, and they don’t look backwards, it’s something you’ll have to get used to.
