Apple has now made Xcode free via the app store – unfortunately since Lion has been released they no longer allow anyone with Snow Leopord to download and install it from the App Store.
You can download it from their website for free, but you must be a registered Apple developer – which will set you back $99/yr.
One Response to Xcode Install Assistant can’t be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7 or later is required.
