I'd test on the OS versions we supported, usually the latest dot-releases of the current and previous major OS versions. I have used both "real" installs on one or more computers as well as VMs. > What is the easiest way to check the compatibility of your app?

A bug could be fixed in the current version of an API method that has to be worked around in an earlier version. Or you might be using, say, a 10.6-only feature where you'd written some code that does more or less the same sort of thing and runs on 10.5. How else could you tell that both code paths work unless you actually try them out? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
