Apple Xcode 2.5

Posted on by


Xcode 2.5 is a minor update to the Tiger tools that is functionally similar to Xcode 2.4.1. It is not considered a critical update. Xcode 2.5 for the first time supports development hosted on Tiger as well as Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). This release is recommended for developers needing to continue to use the Tiger tools while running Leopard, and serves as a transition to Xcode 3.0. On Tiger systems Xcode 2.5 will upgrade previous versions of Xcode; on Leopard systems Xcode 2.5 will install along side Xcode 3.0. Xcode 2.5 does not support developing for the Leopard SDK or Leopard-specific features. Please read the release notes for installation details.

There are three improvements in this version of Xcode
  • Its Installer allows you to install on either a Tiger or Leopard system
  • When installing on Leopard, you may install in a location other than the /Xcode2.5 directory on the startup volume
  • When installed on Leopard, you may move the /Xcode2.5 folder in its entirety to any other location and use Xcode normally

Found it:<br />
<br />
However - you have to sign up for a ADC membership = free.<br />
<br />
Once you do - go to: downloads/Developer Tools<br />
<br />
if you do a page search for Xcode 2.5 it will still be there (11.02.09) about halfway down the list.<br />
<br />
cheers

Go to:<br />
http://developer.apple.com/mac/<br />
<br />
You will need to log in (or create a new account--it’s free). You will then end up at:<br />
https://developer.apple.com/mac/<br />
<br />
After your screen loads the new page, you must click on the small link at the top right that says:<br />
“ADC Member Site”<br />
The link will be (something that starts with):<br />
http://connect.apple.com/<br />
(You may be able to go there first, but I didn’t want to take the risk!)<br />
<br />
The next page be a grid of four links, only one of which will be active until you log in (again). One of the links that will NOT be active will be “Downloads.”<br />
<br />
Now when you log in (again) the same page will be visible, BUT THE DOWNLOADS LINK WILL BE ACTIVE.<br />
<br />
Click on the Downloads link and you will go to a new page, listing “What's New.”<br />
<br />
On the right side of the page, there will be a column entitled “Downloads.”<br />
<br />
Click on the link, “Developer Tools”<br />
<br />
Go there and you will find many downloads, in reverse chronological order, including “Xcode 2.5 Developer Tools” (immediately BEFORE “XCode 3.0”).<br />
<br />
Good luck!!<br />
<br />

AMEN & big thanks also for XCode 2.5 download link! http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_2.5_developer_tools/xcode25_8m2558_developerdvd.dmg

apple makes it impossible to find and download any of the tiger compatible versions of xcode. which is stupid if you still have a tiger based hardware and need to test compatibilities. really stupid move by apple. along w/ the $99/yr fee!

or for instance what if we need to upgrade/update from having access only to original 2.0 version on the tiger install disk due to a crashed / bricked disk?

wtf is up w/ that apple?

<b>thanks to dvhardware.net again. very much appreciated!</b>

Those dynamic links dont last long, but you can go here, then click on Developer Tools:<br />
<br />
http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/downloads<br />
<br />
You can access the downloads after joining the developers club, taking a short survey & confirming your e-mail address. Of course they try to squeeze money out of you but there is still a free membership option. (There is still a live torrent too, but it is VERY slow due to a lack of seeders.)<br />
