That is simply not true. Full stop. There is nothing in Cocoa that
prevents cross-platform applications. I have personally worked on
large cross-platform applications that had a Cocoa interface on the
Mac (and Next before that), writing the interface in Carbon would have
been no easier. In both cases, I'd have been working with a
platform-specific API for the interface layer, and standard C++ for
the business layers.
I'd like to be the third person to agree that Cocoa is highly relevant
and useful for cross-platform apps, if you design your app so that the
OS-specific stuff is factored out appropriately—which, really, is what
it means to write "cross platform" code to begin with.
