Can I get the iOS 5 SDK on Xcode 3.2.6?

I can’t upgrade to Xcode 4 because I still use Snow Leopard and there is no Lion support equipment on my computer. Is there anyway I can get the iOS 5 SDK? I checked on the Apple website, but I only see iOS 4.2 for Xcode 3.2.6.

Yes, Xcode 4.2 with SDK 5 works fine on Snow Leopard. You can download it from the iOS Dev Center. To view these versions of Xcode, you need to have a paid developer account. This is directly below Xcode 4.2.1 for Lion (starting from 2011-12-13):

If you do not join the iOS Developer Program, the link to download Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard will not be available, so NKijak is right. If you create a developer account but don’t pay for the Dev program, you can only access Xcode version 3.2 in Snow Leopard. I got access to the “Downloads” page for both types of accounts to test this, so either pay, or join the Dev program or get stuck with iOS 4 (or borrow an account only for Xcode downloads).
