Is there a version of xcode available for mac OS X 10.6.3? I did several searches on google but the only versions that i find is for 10.6.6 and up.
And xcode 3.2.5 is for leopard and not snow leopard.
I want to use it for developing for Iphone and Ipad.
Thanks.
Have you checked here: http://connect.apple.com/
You need to login using your Apple ID. Also, as Analog File mentioned, that version is probably deprecated and you won't be able to submit your app to the App Store if you build one with it.

I am using Xcode 5.1 and want to compile my app against Base SDK 10.7. However I just see SDK 10.8 and 10.9.
Where can I find the 10.7 base SDK ? I use
#if __MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 1080
command to check sdk version at compilation time. Thanks.

You'll need an Apple login to download the file, but you don't need a paid App Store developer account.
Mount the image, right-click Xcode.app, then Show Package Contents. You will find MacOSX10.7.sdk in Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs.
Read the "Compatibility" section in the following link:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/WhatsNewXcode/00-Introduction/Introduction.html
Xcode 5.1.1 requires a Mac running OS X v10.8.4 (or later), or OS X
v10.9. It includes SDKs for OS X v10.8, OS X v10.9, and iOS v7.1. To
develop apps targeting prior versions of OS X or iOS, see “About SDKs
and the iOS Simulator.”
Also with release of new OS's and SDK's, Apple deprecate the old deployment targets, and restrict us to submit using new Xcode version only. In such a case you cannot go back to 10.7.
Older threads mention that there is a download for Xcode for Snow Leopard listed in the Xcode downloads on https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode if you are logged-in as an enrolled iOS developer - but I can't see it.
A comment on this thread has a direct link to the download, but clicking on the link redirects to an "Access Denied" error page:

you can refer to here. or if you have a good internet connection, try to download via torrent. here is the link. link for xcode via torrent.

Currently Xcode 4.2 is on 6th page.
Please note: OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard) is now TOO OLD to publish an app.
You need a mac with OS X 10.8 (mountain lion). Apple have not maintained backward compatibility: the minimum versions of Xcode or Application Launcher needed to meet the app store requirements won't run on 10.6.8.
You can develop, test and simulate with your old mac, but ultimately to build and publish your app you'll need a newer Mac.
I am working in a mac application with snowleopard.This application is created with leopard os,but this not support in lion due to some external application.So we converted this to snow leopard and work fine .Now the client need to convert this application to leopard version ,for that i am using the xcode 4.2 and lion os and convert the bsec SDK to Mac osx 10.5 and Architecture to 32_bit intel ,but we getting an error "The run destination My Mac 64-bit is not valid for Running the scheme 'AppName'."
How can avoid this error ?
I want to test this application with 10.5 os, but we have only the 10.6 & 10.7 osx,
1)where we get the leopard osx ?
2)Has the Apple issue leopard osx now?
3)Is any problem for instal the leopard os to new MAC system(iMac,Macmini,Macbook)?
I had the same problem a while back, but I'm recalling the solution from memory, as my company dropped 10.5 support meanwhile. The details might be a little bit off, but it should get you going in the right direction:
Grab the latest version of Xcode 3 from the Apple Website
Install it on a Mac. (Make sure you removed the Developer directory if this Mac had another version of Xcode already installed).
Under /Developer, locate the 10.5.sdk directory. Move this directory to a save place (outside of /Developer).
Install Xcode 4.2.
Look where Xcode 4.2 installed its sdk's. Put your previously saved 10.5.sdk directory next to it.
Restart Xcode. There should be 10.5 SDK option in the SDK drop down menu now.
I work on Mac 10.6 because I don't want to lose spaces to Lion. It's an extremely efficient part of my workflow. And I program for the iPad and need to write for iOS 5.1 and the new retina display, but for some reason apple has made the new Xcode only available for Mac 10.7 or later.
How can I either install the new Xcode, find a workable Xcode, or somehow install iOS 5.1 support into my current Xcode? (4.0.1)
You can not do that without cheat with Apple, you need to stay up to date !
It is not possible, you have to upgrade. Xcode 4.3 is coded with innovations that will only work on OS X Lion.
The cap was Xcode 4.2 that ran on SL. You will have to upgrade or continue only developing for older, legacy iOS versions (not a good option).
I am new here and new in Xcode world.
I made a simple app with Xcode 3.2 on Snow Leopard.
The resulting built app works on snow leopard, however it will not even start on leopard (10.5.8) - I get message "You cannot use this version of application with this version of Mac OS X". Is it normal?
Or is there a way to make app that will work both on Snow Leopard and Leopard? Please advise, as I have no way to find out myself
Thanks for any input
You need to change the deployment target in your Build Settings. You should set it to the lowest version of OS X that you're willing to provide support for. You should set your base SDK to the latest available public SDK.
If you do this, you must ensure that you only use new 10.6-only APIs after doing runtime checks for their existence. To do this, you can use functions like NSClassFromString and respondsToSelector:.
Any Frameworks or libraries that are new to 10.6 should be weak-linked. This will prevent the app from trying to load those frameworks on 10.5 and thus cause the program to crash when it doesn't find the frameworks.
All explained in the SDK Compatibility Guide from Apple (Requires (free) login).
