Eventually, I intend to write a generic, reusable Xcode project
template
that has a tiny, run-on-all-systems app to check the system version and
either fail gracefully or launch the "real" app.
Thank goodness somebody else agrees with my position. (It so rarely
happens)
IMHO, the other solutions offered have the short-coming of being
brain-dead about what to do in the event the OS falls *above* the known
range of compatibility for a given release as well as not providing for
things like putting up a dialog to check a website for an update and/or
many other elements associated with a graceful abort. The app I am
working on contains several OS-dependent versions any one of which can
be transparently launched based on the realtime knowledge of the OS
version. Besides, having complete control of my little universe feels
good!
