Its much easier to just build a Universal Binary (which will run on any architecture) and distribute that. A few megabytes here and there will not make a huge difference, as others have said.

Hi,
In my some 2 yrs of cocoa programming with cocoa, I have been able to make a main app (which is selling) and a few related small apps.
Now I have to make a small utility that would download the appropriate (best) version of main app that would run on the user system by polling for the MacOS type and its ability to run 64-bit apps.
I have no internet related programming experience till now.
Are there any resources available for a beginner for developing such a utility.
How should I proceed?


Also how to know if a particular mac would be able to run a 64-bit app? Some earlier Macs like PowerPC G4 could run Leopard but are not able to run 64-bit apps.

Wishes,
Nick
