Hi friends,
I'm a newbie. I want to develop an app which should run in OS X from 10.1 to 10.4. I have 10.4 as development OS with Xcode 2.4.1 from ADC. In Apple site they mention as Xcode is having build environment for 10.3 and 10.2 included.
So
1. What are the general guidelines on building for Multiple OS X version?
2. Any beginner tutorials on this ?
3.What about the build environment for 10.1?

I'm going to use CoreAudio/quicktime, Cocoa , Obj-c in the App.


Thanks for your time.

I think Core Audio was introduced after 10.1, so that wouldn't work.

And the likelihood of having users that are still on 10.1 is small. And even if you have the development environment you are still going to have to check in all of those environments to have a proper test cycle.

According to the Knower of All, Core Audio was released in 10.3

Hi friends,
In Apple site I saw that Core Audio extends for OS X as a whole , though some parts may have been revised in 10.3.

But should the application should have single pack that could work on all of OS X ? or it should have a pack for each version?
Please clarify and guide.

Thanks for your time guys.
