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

I'm unable to upgrade my OS X to 10.11, due to reasons.
XCode 7.3 seems to be the first XCode not to be compatible with Yosemite 10.10.
Has anyone succeeded in getting XCode 7.3 to work on Yosemite?
(What's the important update to XCode that has to make it uncompatible with Yosemite?)
Unfortunately no, you can not.
You need OS X 10.11 or later (El Capitan), since March 21st.
So you either update from Yosemite to El Capitan or stick with your current Xcode.
Important? I will say not that much... iOS 9.3 and Swift 2.2, if you are fond of... With the rest of the OSs. The rest is pretty much the same, it's not a major update.
IF you are here because you updated your device (iPhone, Apple TV etc) and can no longer export your apps to this updated device, there is a workaround!
You can actually copy the newest version of iOS XCode SDK from a newer version of XCode into your older version of XCode.
1
Rename your old XCode.app to XCode7.app, and install the latest version of XCode (yes you can have multiple versions)
2
Grab the folder in your new XCode package content folder:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/10.3\
And add it in the same place of your XCode 7.3 or 8.2 version
/Applications/Xcode7.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/
Restart XCode and you will be able to keep working!
Is it possible to run MacRuby with XCode 3?
It is not possible for me to upgrade to XCode 4.2 because I am running Snow Leopard and have a machine that will not upgrade to Mountain Lion and Apple has pulled Lion from the App Store. I know you can download XCode 4.2 with a Apple Dev Account ($100 per year) but I am looking for a free solution.
Maybe there is an older version on MacRuby that can be installed with XCode 3? If you know which version, I would be interested if the installation instructions differ from that of XCode 4.2
Try looking here for previous versions of MacRuby.
I want to say that version 0.10 was compatible with Snow Leopard, but I'm not certain.
Newbie question I know... But can I build apps for Snow Leopard using the Mountain Lion Version of Xcode 4.4?
Yes, you can. You can always build programs with an intended target version of less than the current version (as long as that older version is still supported).
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.
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.
