As i am learning OS X development and here i came across strange situation

  • 0

As i am learning OS X development and here i came across strange situation where i need to find out a way to build the app for target above 10.6 and if it is 10.7 then i need to call some newly added methods or enums. May be there is no such way but thought to ask it.

I guess there must be way to use it via Macros or something similar. I don’t want to create OS specific builds. Any help will be appreciated. May be there is no such way but thought to ask it.

Regards,

    You can read the version from the property file:

      /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

    In this way, you can build dynamic code without different versions by #ifdefine

    EDIT: @MP Well, I understood that you do not want to generate version specific code. If you ready to do so, then it is quite easy. Simply use:

      #include <Availability.h>
  #ifdef __MAC_10_7
      /* 10.7 only code */
  #else
      /* not 10.7 code */
  #endif
