i have been using Cocoa for about a year, but i never have needed to learn about targets and builds. however, since upgrading to 10.3 (and Xcode) my apps don't work on older OS versions. as far as i know, i am not using any new 10.3 elements that weren't in 10.2.
am i the only one who finds Xcode less intuitive than PB?
TIA, adam

If you're using the Development build style, you may have ZeroLink enabled. If you do, the app will only run from within Xcode.

Nope. A bunch of common settings have been moved to hard-to-find inspectors, and it insists on opening lots of windows where PBX made it easy to keep everything in one. Also, builds seem slower, which is strange because gcc 3.3 is supposed to be faster.

really? i hadn't played with build styles, but i was able to run apps outside Xcode on my machine. but, when i did try to run it on a 10.2, i remember the log saying something about zerolink.

i liked the one window style best (there were at least multiple view options back then). my builds are super-fast now compared to PB. after small changes, building and running is near instantaneous. i am on a 400mhz G3, so that is saying something.

You should also set it to use the 10.2 SDK. You'll need to install the cross-development tools if you didn't already do so.

You shouldn't have to set it to use the 10.2 SDK, unless you're writing kernel extensions or some such. With that said, it is possible to accidentally link with functionality in 10.3 that's not included in 10.2 if you're not careful.

So, what you're saying is that if you don't use the 10.2 SDK you might end up with a binary which doesn't run on 10.2... I think my point still stands 
You should use the 10.2 SDK. You don't have to, but you should.
