i have done android dev. in the past.I want to start working on developing ipad apps. I installed xcode 3.0 on my mac. My mac is 10.5.8. It runs Intel Core Duo. I have googled on this and i found that in order to develop ipad apps one must have snowleopard and it runs on 10.6 or higher. So, should i buy new OS?But again the snow leopard OS requires Intel Core 2 Duo. Or any Mac with Intel is OK? I have more questions(reg. iOS SDK) but i got to find solution for this first. Please tell me what are my options.
Thanks in Advance
I believe the Core 2 Duo is needed for its 64 bit architecture. 64 bit is required to run Grand Central Dispatch which is included used in the iOS SDK for SL. Long answer short – yes you will need a Core 2 Duo running Snow Leopard at a minimum. My suggestion is to get something that will run Lion also. I am a dev and love the applications saved state feature with Xcode running on Lion.
