So I see this right? MacApp was killed and the team has been fired? What kind of [...] decision was that?

Mike Rosetti on macapp-dev:

Dear MacApp Friends,

Improvements to MacApp over the last two years has ensured that MacApp developers are able to transition to Mac OS X in a smooth fashion. With this support in place, Apple is now focusing its engineering efforts on projects effecting a wider range of developers and is not planning any subsequent updates to MacApp.

Tom Becker, Mark Dawson and I will continue to be part of the MacApp community as we move on to new opportunities outside of Apple. You may reach Tom via e-mail at mailto:twb@mac.com and Mark at mailto:marc@mac.com. You can reach me at my usual mailto:rossetti@apple.com until 6 PM MDST on Friday, October 12th; after the 12th please use mailto:rossetti@mac.com.

You may, of course, continue to use MacApp under the standard license agreement that governs its use for the Mac OS. And those of you who have acquired a license to run a MacApp-based application on a non-Mac OS platform may continue to do so as long as you abide by your individual license agreement.

The MacApp sources will continue to be available at Apple's ftp site--you will be able to access this site by going to the MacApp web pages at:

http://developer.apple.com/tools/macapp/

or by going directly to Apple's ftp site at:

ftp://ftp.apple.com//developer/Tool_Chest/MacApp/

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns up to 6 PM MDST on October 12th. After October 12th you should contact Apple Developer Relations via your normal ADR contact or by going to the ADR website at:

http://developer.apple.com/

Thanks to you all, and do please keep in touch.

Mike

Probably a sensible decision -- given that PowerPlant, the new CarbonEvents architecture, and Cocoa relegate MacApp even further into the "legacy" category.

Then again, I can be detatched about it -- none of my projects use MacApp
