I just tried to upgrade my xcode tools on my mac running 10.5.8, but I didn't realize that the latest version of xcode will only run on snow leopard. I can't find the older version of xcode that would work on my work machine. Where can I get a leopard compatible version of xcode?

Xcode downloads for Leopard (10.5) are no longer shown on the main Xcode page.

However, prior versions are available from the Downloads for Apple Developers page.
Once you have logged in, you can enter "Xcode 3.1.4" in the search field at the top left and hit Enter.

  • That was too easy - can you find the download for tiger? Cause I've never been able too. – pivotal Oct 20 '09 at 17:41
  • You're looking for Xcode 2.5. I found it on the Mac development site https://connect.apple.com - log in, click on downloads, then click on "Developer Tools" and scroll way, way, way, down until you find Xcode 2.5 – Epsilon Prime Oct 20 '09 at 17:54
  • I wasted an hour looking for 3.1.4. Thanks for rescuing the rest of my evening!!! – Paul Chernoch Oct 21 '09 at 23:25

    This no longer works because Apple moved things around. Aaron Stephanic's answer does. I was able to start a download of the XCode 3.1.4 disk image. – Benjamin Atkin Sep 08 '11 at 18:42
  • Yep, that link of Aaron's has all the latest information on getting the older versions (and tells you which versions you need). – Epsilon Prime Sep 13 '11 at 22:42

    Aaron Stephanic's answer has now been deleted. For those without the rep to still see it, it was basically a link to this page : http://meandmark.com/blog/2009/10/downloading-older-versions-of-xcode/ –  Oct 27 '15 at 22:24

Another alternative is to download it using the interwebs (probably easier and faster than from Apple). The file is called xcode314_2809_developerdvd.dmg and here are some numbers:

Google is your friend.
