Is that possible?

I think the current minimum OS is 10.7 (Lion), which is needed to get the Mac App Store, which you need to get Xcode. It sounds like that's as far back as you can go, though if anyone is still using 10.6 then maybe they can post in here.

It's possible, but it's dumb.

@Frederico You can get away with developing on Snow Leopard or Lion. Personally, I still use Lion.
