Hello. OS X 10.6 is the first version of OS X that doesn't support the PowerPC architecture (http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html). We're working on a Cocoa server-side web framework and server ( http://www.bombaxtic.com/bombax) and so far we've been making universal builds. We support OS X 10.5 or 10.6 and our plan is to keep 10.5 as our minimum OS version.
But, the big question we're debating is whether to include PPC support in the production release. Since our product is still in beta, we have the pleasant opportunity to decide this without worrying about cutting off support to existing customers. Supporting Intel-only would make testing, development, and tech support easier. On the other hand, we don't want to alienate developers and administrators that are still loving their PowerMac G5 Quads :). So the big question I have for the group is whether it is important for new Cocoa software that has a 10.5+ requirement to support PowerPC. We really want to do the best by our users, both in the sense of supporting their hardware and developing new features more quickly. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
