Is there any way to install the iPad SDK on a Leopard machine?
It's only for Snow Leopard. You had to upgrade your system first.
The 3.2 SDK is currently under a non-disclosure agreement. The best place to ask questions about it is Apple's Developer Forum (there's a section specifically for the beta).
But in general, if there's no download listed on the developer site, then you're out of luck.
Apparently, there's SDK 3.2 beta with XCode 3.1.3, which works on Leopard and SDK 3.2 beta with XCode 3.2.2, which only works on Leopard. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I'm pretty new to coding for iOS and i have a question about setting up my development components.
I have MacBook Air with 10.5.8 Leopard on it. So we question is: will I have no problems writing apps having iPhone SDK 3.1.3 with XCode 3.1.4 for Leopard (10.5.7)? Will the created app work on all iphone versions? There is a possibility to upgrade to mountain lion and use newest xcode, but is it worth it ? Considering that I firstly have to upgrade to snow leopard and then to mountain lion.
Thank you for your answers in advance.
If you want to send them to the app Store, the apps have to be compiled with the latest iOS (right now iOS6), so you can't compile them with xcode 3.1.4.
You need lion to download xcode 4.5 that includes the iOS 6 sdk
It looks like the configuration of your MAC Machine is not compatible for latest Mountain Lion OS. Even if it supports Lion OS, that itself will be a great deal.
Anyways, Using leopard, you can develop applications only upto iOS ver 3.2. So you would not be able to submit your applications to App Store untill you compile it with latest SDK.
For this you need atleast Lion OS (Better if you upgrade your hardware compatible with Mountain Lion). So that you can install latest XCode (Currently Ver 4.5). It will allow you to develop fully featured iOS application with latest features as well as upload them to Apple App Store.
Hope it helps. Let me know if anything else required.
Currently I am using Xcode 3 and iOS SDK 4.2 on Snow Leopard. I am planning to download and install Xcode 4 and iOS SDK 4.3.
I would like to know if Xcode 4 and iOS SDK 4.3 are compatible with Snow Leopard.
Yes..You will have separate .dmg available for download when you visit iOS developer center X-Code download link.
Please do note that the X-Code 4.2 will have iOS 5 simulator and library only. If you want lower version simulator and library with X-Code just goto X.Code->Prefrences-> Downloads Tab. In downloads tab you'll have two tabs:
1) Components - Here you will have option to download iOS 4.3 simulator(~600 Mb), iOS 4.0-4.1(~670 MB) Device debugging support, iOS 3.0-3.2.2(686.3 MB) Device debugging support.
2) Documentation- Yoy will have option to download iOS 5.0,XCode 4.2 Developer libaray,Mac OSX 10.7 Core Library.
Install the components which ever you need and there you go..
Hope that helps.
There's a specific version of Xcode 4.2 (and likely earlier versions) that can be used on Snow Leopard. That's the version I use on my iMac. Note that you can use 4.2 w/iOS5 SDK and still deploy on older devices (and even download the 4.3 simulator) in case you cannot find Xcode 4.
However you cannot use (download) the one from the AppStore which is Lion-specific. To find the Snow Leopard specific version log into Apple's developers portal and you'll see separate links for SL and Lion.
Yes, it's compatible. Download the XCode 4.2 .dmg from the iOS dev program portal, which includes the iOS 5.0 SDK.

Yes, but only if you have the correct download from Apple.
There are currently 2 separate dmg downloads for the SDK and Xcode installer from the enrolled Developer web site, one for Lion and one for Snow Leopard. The download for Lion is only compatible with Lion. The download for Snow Leopard is only compatible with Snow Leopard. The installer from the App store might be for Lion only, so you may have to sign up for the developer program to get the other installer.
Apple usually removes (or hides) downloads for previous versions of the SDK, so if you didn't download the correct installer dmg (with the SDK for iOS 4.x) for the Mac OS of interest in time, you won't have a compatible installer.
I have a Mac with Leopard installed (not Snow Leopard). I'm trying to start playing around with iPhone development, so I want to download XCode and the iPhone SDK. I found a version of XCode on Apple's site which runs on Leopard, but it doesn't have the iPhone SDK bundled with it, and I can't find the iPhone SDK anywhere except bundled with the latest version of XCode (and it won't run on Leopard, just Snow Leopard).
Where can I get a copy of the iPhone SDK for Leopard?

Choose [iPhone SDK 3.1.3 with Xcode 3.1.4 – Leopard].
(I had the same problem.. an old PPC with Mac OS X 10.5 that can't be upgraded to 10.6.2)
This will definitely let you write simple and useful iPhone apps, although I'm not sure about App Store acceptance. Good for 'hello world' and personal stuff, though.
You're out of luck. Current SDK is Snow Leopard only.
Edit: Listen to Eiko. 10.5 is no longer supported.
Just a quick question of concern- the latest xcode and iphone sdk states 'Snow Leopard' beside it. Being new to Mac, does installing this on Leopard work? Please don't tell me to upgrade, I just want an answer.
No; Xcode 3.2 and iPhone SDK 3.2 both require Snow Leopard.
I would like to download ipad sdk (i.e.iphone sdk 3.2),but i think it requires a mac osX Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 or later.But i have only Mac Osx Version 10.5.8 (build:9L31A).So,i made a software update but i couldnot find mac osx update in the software update list.I would like to know how to update my mac to 10.6.2 and install iphone sdk 3.2 for developing ipad Applications.
Thank You In Advance..
To move from 10.5.x to 10.6.x you have to buy Snow Leopard.

You are right about having to upgrade to Snow. I'm now on Snow and I have iPad SDK installed (iPhone SDK 3.2 beta 3). Please note that you also need to be registered to the iPhone Developer Program to be able to download the 3.2 beta.
Amazon used to sell it for a lower price, 24 USD I think, but it's now also at 29 USD.
