So I heard that 3ds sdk has been leaked, and as I know a sdk is used to develop and debug the device is out for. I was wondering with the right knowledge can I develop official software for the 3ds as well as apps to run on official fw?
If by "official software" you mean actually publishing a piece of software to the eShop, no. Nintendo has strict policies about the use of the SDK and those licensed to use it and the knowledge that goes with it. The SDK also does not contain the means to enable code to run on retail devices. However, there's nothing stopping you from becoming an official developer through their application process at http://warioworld.com.So I heard that 3ds sdk has been leaked, and as I know a sdk is used to develop and debug the device is out for.

Thanks for that info, I read up on the requirements of becoming a dev, pretty complicated.If by "official software" you mean actually publishing a piece of software to the eShop, no.

Otherwise, if you're interested in developing homebrew, there's technically nothing that you can do with the official SDK that can't be done with devkitARM & ctrulib (which you are encouraged to use because they are both free, as in freedom, and open source).
There is actually a lot stopping someone. You need $2500, stable business, and have software you've already built and published.If by "official software" you mean actually publishing a piece of software to the eShop, no.
