I have a mac os x application, which was developed in Xcode 3.1.1, now I need to re-develop it.
Of course, I cannot build it in the newest Xcode 4.5, and it's hard for me to change the settings to make it work in Xcode 4.5.
So I downloaded the Xcode 3.1.1, it builds ok. But I just cannot use the debugging. The nslog can display normally in the console. I need to debug.
Anyone know how to fix it?
Use Xcode 3.2.6 - it still runs fine on Lion and Mountain Lion (I use it daily on Mountain Lion) and it should be able to build and debug your legacy project without any changes.

Is it possible to run project from the newest version of XCode on an older version of XCode (older Mac with older XCode and iOS Simulator)?
It really depends. Storyboards will have trouble on older versions of Xcode as they are updated regularly. Some other new features may be a problem too, it really depends on your project.
You can download old simulators in the current Xcode from: Preferences > Downloads and then in components, but it doesn't go back very far, at the time of writing as far as iOS 7.1.
If your Mac is too old to run current Xcode/Yosemite you probably do need to upgrade your Mac sooner or later I'm afraid.
I'm trying to dig up and work on an old carbon application. Using Xcode 4.3.3, I find that Carbon.r is missing in the project. Even when I target Mac OS 10.6 rather than 10.7, as suggested by Xcode 4.3 can't find Carbon libs on 10.7
I suspect support is there, I just can't see how to "engage" it. or is 4.3.3 too late a version?
What is the latest version of Xcode that has support for Carbon? I'll boot back to an old MacOS if necessary to make this work.

There are degrees of support for Carbon. I'm using Xcode 4.6.3 under Lion for a partly-Carbon app, but I had to make a couple of adjustments:
I can't edit Carbon nibs with the version of Interface Builder built into Xcode, and the old separate version won't run under Lion. I have Snow Leopard Server running under VMWare Fusion to edit my nibs.
I'm using the OS 10.6 SDK, which does not come with this version of Xcode. So, I opened up the Xcode app package, and in the Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs subfolder, I added a symbolic link to the 10.6 SDK living in a copy of Xcode 3.2.6.
My current version of xcode is 4.0, which doesn't support iOS 5. However, when I tried to download the latest version, 4.4, it said I needed to upgrade to lion.
I'm wondering if I can download a less recent version of xcode. My current os version is 10.6.8; would I be able to use xcode version 4.3.3?
No.
If I remember correctly, Xcode 4.2 was the last version you could run without Lion.
At https://connect.apple.com/ you are able to download the entire dmg for Xcode, even for older versions, but you must be registered as an Apple developer.
What version of Xcode should I use?
I tried installing 4.2 but got this cryptic error message
If i wasn't so annoyed I'd find this funny
Is there any reason you're still on OS X 10.7.2? If you can, update your Mac to 10.7.4. As for Xcode, the current version is 4.3.2. You can download it from the Mac App Store.
The latest stable Xcode release is 4.3.2 as of May 31st, 2012. I believe there was a version for Snow Leopard (10.6) that would not work with Lion (10.7). You'll need to be a member of the developer program (free, I believe) to get the free download here.
I have osx 10.7.X and need to install Xcode. The late xcode 5.X versions which is available in app store is not compatible with the 10.7. Xcode4.5.1 cltools is compatible.
Older versions are difficult to locate and after quite a lot of search inside developer.apple.com located the Older versions of Xcode here
Where can I get Xcode for my older computer? I need to have gdb installed because I'm supposed to use it in a class I'm taking. Thanks.
Xcode 3.2.6. You may have to log in before pasting the link into your browser.
Xcode 4.2 will run on 10.6 Snow Leopard. You have to download it from Apple's Developer website, as the version on the Mac App Store (4.3.2) now is Lion only. You may need to update to 10.6.8 as well, which you can do by running Software Update.
