My XCode-built application won't run on a seemingly random minority of
systems (various Macs, various Mac OS X's from 10.2 through 10.3.2).
What am I missing?
By "not running" I mean that when the user double-clicks the
application icon in the Finder, the dock makes room for it, and the
application appears to be starting up for half a second. Then the
action stops, and it's as if the user did nothing; the app didn't open.
I haven't experienced this myself; I've only heard it from a few users
around the world. Several or dozens of other people ran the app
successfully.
I believe that it ran fine when built with Project Builder when I was
on Jaguar.
A week ago I did a totally clean installation of Panther 10.3.2 and
XCode 1.0 (from CDs), followed by an update to XCode 1.1 (using the
updater on Apple's web site), followed by installing the 10.2.8 SDK
from the XCode 1.1 CD which I downloaded. I do all my development on a
PowerBook G3 (Firewire), 400 MHz, 320 MB RAM.
I then upgraded the one target in my project to use the native build
system, instead of being Jam-based.
I was still doing fine, I think, until I set my target SDK to 10.2.7
and my deployment version of Mac OS to 10.2. (I want my program to run
on Mac OS X 10.2.0 and greater (I can live with requiring 10.2.7, if
necessary).) Since installing the 10.2.8 SDK this morning, I target
that SDK instead. Still no help.
The hardware/OS combos on which this did NOT run include the following
(no further details available):
* PowerBook G4 Titanium 667MHz 512MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Rick)
* Tower, Mac OS X 10.2 (Scott)
* Tower, Mac OS X 10.2.6 (Scott)
* G4, 10.3.2 (Fran)
* G4 933MHz, 1.25 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Roy)
The hardware/OS combos on which this DID run include the following:
* eMac, Mac OS X 10.2.4 (Rick)
* iMac, Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Scott)
* iMac G4 800 MHz, 512MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Erez)
* Power Mac G3 blue & white, 450 MHz, Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Erez)
* PowerBook G3, 400 MHz, 320 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Erez)
* Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Erwin)
* PowerBook G4 Titanium, 1 GHz, PowerPC 7455, Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Jo)
* iMac, PowerMac4,5 (version=2.1) (?), 800 MHz, Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Pon)
* PowerBook G4, 800 MHz, Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Bob)
Am I forgetting something? Am I doing something wrong?
I'm all ears.
Bye...Erez
