I have an app developed on TIger which crashes "unexpectedly" on
Panther.
I tried setting the "Mac OS X Deployment Target" to 10.3 or 10.4
but this did not change anything.
It could well be that I am using Tiger-only stuff - but the app
dies while loading its first nib file.
Anyway - I don't care if it does not run on Panther, but I would
like to see a nice panel telling the user that this app does
require Tiger or later.
Is there something I could put into the Info.plist file to inform
Panther not to try to launch this app?
I don't believe that there is a key to restrict an application to
run on only certain versions of the OS.
How about LSMinimumSystemVersion? Value is a string of form "10.2.8".
Unfortunately, Panther totally ignores LSMinimumSystemVersion. You
might try something like this - http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=13,
which is a custom launcher which checks the system version, then
either presents a friendly error message or launches the real
executable.
