This thread was called: " RE: How to get warnings for missing methods in older SDKs"
But my question is not about that.
>> Regarding the issue of dropping 10.5 SDK support at some point in the Xcode version time, I know it's likely to be controversial, but I'd say that it's up to developers to move their users along. Good as Leopard was for developers, it's pretty old now, and Lion is just around the corner.
I'm having a little trouble understanding what "pretty old now" means in Mac world. I've recently sat through some similar discussion about dropping Windows XP support which seems in vain because my company-deployed Windows development computer is still Windows XP. To me, Windows XP seems "pretty old", but my company-deployed iMac 8 (my first Mac ever) shipped to me with 10.5 on it in 2008 does not seem "pretty old". This is only 64-bit Intel Mac that I have to develop and test our software on 10.5 unless I go to compatibility labs. It has a Snow Leopard partition on it because I bought Snow Leopard as soon as I could.
Given that I'm the only "Mac developer" at my company, I would like to support as few versions as possible without making unreasonable demands. My target customers are using Mac OS in IT environments or data centers.
Thanks for any advice.
