Tips to deploy applications to multiple Mac OS X versions

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Cocoa application so that it can run on Mac OS X from version 10.3.9 to 10.5.
I have 10.5 installed so the application runs fine on my system and on other Leopard systems.
I haven't build a project for multiple platforms yet, so I tried to duplicate the main Xcode target and set different deployment target settings like


myApp for Leopard		MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.5
myApp for Tiger			MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.4
myApp for Panther		MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set to 10.3

The SDK I use is the Leopard one.

Till now all Ok, but when I try to compile for example the Tiger target I get some errors (mainly about fast enumeration). Thus I have some questions:

- It is correct to proceed like I described above?
- Does the Objective-C 2.0 fast enumeration make sense to be used? I mean, if I don't use it, will my application perform worse on Leopard?
- Is there a way to differentiate part of code by platform? I remember I saw in some files lines like this


#if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET == MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4
#endif

is this correct?


Thanks,

Lorenzo Bevilacqua
