It should be noted that most of xCode and iOS SDK will work just fine without the extra features in 10.6.7 – the minimum version requirement is just Apple’s lazy way to reduce development and support efforts by forcing users to upgrade to their latest release. Well, if you don’t want to read the rest of this post, there is an easier way.
However, recently I needed to upgrade my xCode to version 4.2 in order to support the latest iOS SDK, and to my surprise, Xcode 4.2 requires at least 10.6.7 for installation. For some time, the setup has been working perfectly fine for me, mostly for iOS development, since I don’t own a Mac. In my previous articles ( this and this) I have shown you how to setup a working Mac OS X 10.6.4 system running on your PC using VmWare Workstation.
