xcode can iphone sdk be installed to the xcode dev tools

i am very new to iphone dev, rather i just set up a mac. it had OS X 10.6 so i downloaded the latest xcode but it said that i needed a newer OS i.e 10.6.4 . So for the ime being i thought i would use the older version and downloaded the xcode 3.1.4 but being new , i did not know that i was downloading developer tools that was something else. Now in the iphone dev tab in the xcode, there is a link "Download free iphone SDK" but as i click on it , i am taken to the apple website where they want me to join on开发者_运维百科e of their developer programs. Is there some other way i can get my xcode to get an older sdk because i want the older sdk which was probably free and the newer one wont even work for me?

If you sign into developer.apple.com member center with your Apple ID you should have the option to download xcode3 for snow leopard without paying the developer fee(click programs and add-ons at the top). I am unable to confirm this because I have paid the fee.

I would highly recommend upgrading to lion and getting xcode 4 though, the transition between the two seemed like a lot and was very annoying (I switched when I was a beginner). It would save you a lot of time and frustration to start out with xcode 4 in my opinion.
