Downloading Older Versions of Xcode

·1 min

Apple makes it easy to download the latest version of Xcode. But older versions of Xcode are harder to find. I’ve read many questions on Mac programming forums from people who have trouble finding older versions of Xcode on Apple’s site. Take the following steps to find older versions of Xcode:

  1. Go to the Apple Developer Connection site.
  2. If you do not have an ADC membership, click the Join Now button.
  3. Login to ADC with your Apple ID and password.
  4. Click the Downloads link.
  5. Click the Developer Tools link on the right side of the page.

Now you will find every version of Xcode Apple has released. Those of you running Leopard will want to download Xcode 3.1.4. Those of you running Tiger will want Xcode 2.5. Those of you running Panther will want Xcode 1.5.
