Is xcode 4.2 is compatible with mac os 10.6.3? - xcode

I have develop an application in xcode 3.2 in mac os 10.6.3, but its not working but in 4.2 its working fine, so I have to download xcode 4.2.
I want to know that Is xcode 4.2 is compatible with mac os 10.6.3 ?

Now that Xcode 4 has been officially/publicly released, I believe we can answer this question definitively.
Xcode 4 is available through the Mac App Store which requires OS X 10.6.6.
See: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/xcode/id422352214?mt=12
Of course, the program itself might run under older version of the OS but that usually requires editing .plist files so that the OS version being checked is lower (or the version being reported by the system is higher.)

Questions about pre-release software (Xcode 4) can't be answered in a public forum without violating Apple's license agreement. Instead, you can post your question to Apple Developer Forums.

How to install Xcode 4 on Mac OS X Mavericks

I can't install Xcode 4. I have some files that I need to open in Xcode 4. However, when I try to install it, it says "Xcode Install Assistant cannot be installed on this disk. The version of OS X is too new." How can I make it think I'm on Lion or Mountain Lion?
Here is a picture:
Download it in the App Store - it's the newest version and looks like the disc you have doesn't support Mavericks.
I feel tired of these preposterous answers. I think that if you want to stick to an older version of something, you should be able to. Also, I don't think software like XCode 4 are that old anyway.
But, to the point: I think XCode 4.6.3 is compatible with Mavericks. I am not sure about previous 4.6.X, but I think none of them work.
Any versions prior would require a previous operating system. I think you could try using pacifist to install the version you want, but I haven't found any guides.
If your problem is with project compatibility, in XCode 5 there is an option to save the project in a way it is compatible with XCode 4.6, and I suppose 4.6 offers a similar option to save in a version prior. Of course, you may need to adapt the code of the projects accordingly. Usually I try to stick with the Snow-Leopard-compatible code, because it compiles fine in all XCode 4.X and 5.X versions.
You can download any of these from the developer website.
I would try partitioning the disk and installing an older Mac OS X. I work with Snow Leopard and Mavericks in the same Mac. I usually do interface tasks in SL and the rest on Mavericks. The other advantage is that I have both XCode 4.2 and 3.2.6 in the same machine, so I can manage some backwards compatibility. =D

Xcode for mac OS X 10.6.3?

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.

Xcode download for Snow Leopard

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:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7662246/cant-download-xcode-4-for-snow-leopard-anymore
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.
Your Required software is available at this link, https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
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.

Working with XCode 4.3 installation

I installed XCode 4.3 from App Store. When i run the application the xcode version is showing 4.1.
Present my mac version is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. Can any tell me the process how to load xcode 4.3.
Thanks in advance.
Just install it from LaunchPad.
You may have to explicitly go to the Mac Store and get this update as though it were a new download; it used to come through Apple->Software Update in the past (and I think in the future it will be a Mac Store update that you get just like any other Mac Store update), but this particular transition (4.2->4.3) is a bit more work.

Xcode 4.3.1 on Mac 10.6.8

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).
