Is my assumption correct that (even if not explicitly described in the documentation) targeting a OS X version also allows running it on a more current one?
Yes. Exceptions apply, but only in very, very rare cases.
Good to know. Would you have any examples or would you know where to find more documentation on this?
Why is the the documentation so arbitrary on this issue. Is this not the "normal" way how applications are excepted to be compatible?


Is this the proper way to do so?
Are my settings correct?
Looks like it. You can also set the minimum required OS to 10.4
This would be the "Mac OS X Deployment target" setting?
To what would my use of "Compiler Default" as value target?
What happens if it's set to 10.4 and the app bundle is executed in 10.3?


If you were building for OS X < 10.3.9 there would be additional steps involved (i.e. using gcc 3.3 for PPC), but not for 10.4 and up

Thank you for your help! Dieter
