I am running Mac Tiger on my VMware, trying to install iphone SDK and Xcode, and then I found out I have to have leopard in order to be able to develop for Iphone. I was wondering is there any Iphone SDK and Xcode for MAc Tiger 10.4 ??? many thanks
Apple stopped supporting Mac OS 10.4 quite a long time ago. In fact, new iPhone 3.2 SDK is available only for Mac OS 10.6. So you'd either have to get a newer version of the system, or search for older SDK over the Internet (some third party sites can still host it).
The 10.5.x version is still available on Apple's developer connection, however it's SDK 3.1.3 only.
Hope this was helpful, Paul

I'm currently developing a mobile app using Cordova on Windows and Android, and I'd like to test it on Apple devices. I purchased a refurbished 2011 MacBook and an iPhone 6s cheaply in order to do this, but I'm running into frustrating compatibility issues regarding XCode. The MacBook can support OS X up to El Capitan, which can support XCode 9.1, but the iPhone, which has automatically upgraded to iOS 13.3, needs a newer version of XCode to compile to it, it seems. I can't find a way to downgrade the phone to an older version of iOS (apparently the current version cannot be jailbreak-ed) and as a result I can't write apps to the phone.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm aware of device-emulation services like Browser Stack, but I'd like to find a solution that uses the technology I've already bought before I pay for a new service.
I'd like to start programming apps for iphones and ipads so a friend borrowed me an old MacBook as a starting point.
The fact is that it is running OS X Leopard (10.5.8).
When downloading xcode, the only available version is 3.1.4 and there are no SDKs in it --> From this post develop app in 10.5.8 I realized there is no way for adding sdks.
So I was thinking to buy OS X Snow Leopard in order to have at least the possibility to have SDK 4.
But after reading some others discussion I discovered that Apple will not approve apps with lower SDKs than iOS 7. What does it mean? That if I use SDK 4 and some methods are deprecated in 7, they will not accept the app? Or there is a flag somewhere that shows compatibility?
In this last case, so I have to set the sdk7 somewhere, if I buy Snow Leopard it will be possible to add iOS 7 SDK to its xcode version (3.2.6)?
I am searching the last SDK for the iPhone OS 2.2.1 (last in the 2.x series) for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard:
"iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 2.2.1 (Build 9m26211) - Final"
Exact Data of the searched SDK:
type: DMG
file name: "iphone_sdk_for_iphone_os_2.2.19m2621afinal.dmg"
md5-checksum: "9d0a818f41be507537495920cd0ef9bc"
file size: 1.75 GB
original (non-working) link: original link to SDK (not working
anymore)
Unfortunately, Apple has deleted most of the old developer stuff lately, so I cannot download the SDK anymore !
But I need it urgently for a project.
If you have a backup of the DMG file, could you please provide me a copy of this ?
Send me an e-mail. (my address is: "Kitchen2010 (AT) web DOT de")
Thanks in advance !
If you go to Apple's Xcode page and click on the link that's next to "Looking for additional developer tools? View downloads", you'll be able to get to older copies of Xcode that are compatible with older versions of MacOS & iOS.
You do need to be a member of Apple's Developer Program to authenticate to get in there, though.
#Michael Dautermann:
Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately, the oldest Xcode release with iOS/iPhone OS SDK included and still available for download is "Xcode 3.2.3 with iOS SDK 4.0.1" for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on this site. All earlier Xcode releases are for Mac OS X development only.
Apple used to distribute the iOS/iPhone OS SDKs with a suitable Xcode as a seperated download. They started to combine the Xcode releases later with the 3.2.x releases.
I still hope that someone has made a backup of the early iPhone OS SDKs and can provide me a copy.
I'm developing a blackberry application to encode and decode some important information. For this I'm using the net.rim.device.api.crypto.* package in my application. I'm developing in blackberry OS 7.1 simulator but my blackberry device has OS 5.0 . When I try to download the app in my device, it gives me the following error:
"This application requires the following module, which is not installed: net_rim_crypto"
Also I'm not able to use the update site and install previous blackberry Os versions as the installation fails whenever I try to install it.
So, my question is mainly: How can I make my apps backward compatible in this case? Also, I'm not able to install and run my app (mentioned above) on the device. How can I accomplish this? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Please note that BlackBerry apps are not backward compatible, that is to say an app built on OS 7.0 will not work with OS 6.0 or OS 5.0. However, an same app built on OS 5.0 will work on handsets with OS 5.0+. Considering you are developing your app in OS 7.1 simulator indicates you are using BlackBerry JRE 7 and net_rim_crypto that you implemented seem to be missing in OS 5. In order to develop apps for OS 5, please work with JRE 5.
I'm trying to write an app for my own use on my iPhone (iOS 6.0). Unfortunately I'm also traveling with my OSX 10.5 laptop with Xcode 3.1.4 loaded. Is there any way to run an app built with this xcode on my iPhone? I don't need any feature from a recent iOS and there are plenty of old apps that run just fine and were probably developed with old Xcode versions, but I always get an amber button indicating the iPhone iOS isn't supported when I hit build and run.
The oldest version of xcode that can develop for iOS 6 is xcode 4.5, and for running xcode 4.5 you need to have MAC OS 10.7.4 or later version
Sorry man, You can't.
You need Xcode4 and Lion for iOS6 development.
EDIT:
Now(2014 AD) Apple doesn't allow any app developed using below Xcode 5, so you need to have Xcode 5.
No. To develop for a modern iPhone, you need an Intel mac, and I doubt that a laptop with 10.5 is an Intel Mac (or that 10.5 even supports x86). Also, Xcode versions are correlated to API versions, if you haven't noticed, so even if possible, you'd probably only be able to use the 3.0 APIs, which are now not even usable because of the multitasking introduced in 4.0.
Short answer: No.
