GC works fine on real ppc machines, it's just Rosetta that doesn't support it (Rosetta doesn't support ppc64 either, BTW). > Given that I don't have access to a ppc machine, sounds like I can't test if > it works. > > Given that it's obviously a leopard only application, I'm not sure if I > should claim support for ppc and have a user complain if it doesn't work, or > drop the claim of ppc support and make it intel only. If you're releasing an application on ppc, it really is in your best interest to test on a ppc machine. You can find decent iMac G5s for around $500 on eBay. I'd highly recommend keeping at least one around for testing purposes (Getting a G5 will allow you to test both ppc and ppc64). If you don't need to test 64-bit apps, you can even go to a G4, which can be found for even cheaper (G4 Mac Minis and iMacs can be found around $200 - $400) > > In any case thanks for the information. > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 6, 2008, at 7:58 PM, Nick Zitzmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >> On Oct 6, 2008, at 3:38 PM, David wrote: >> >>> I'm trying to test my universal app to make sure its really universal. >>> In finder I did "get info" then selected "run with rosetta".
