iOS 5.1, OSX Lion

[matchy]

Coincidentally, I just received an email: "Beginning May 9, 2012, the Windows Mobile 6.x Marketplace service will no longer be available. "

Matchy: Did you ever release anything for the Windows Mobile 6.x Marketplace? Was it much of a market? Are you a registered MS dev for the mobile platforms?

¿The last XCode not runs in Snow Leopard? Don't tell me this, I don't like Lion. They have too many developers and they don't deserve it.

[matchy]

No Ian, just Pocket PC Freeware WM5. It's sort of like an advert to the same app as the iPhone version, although there's no cross platform connect.

A hackintosh is a pain. I, like a few others here, pretty sharpish got a Mini after using a hackintosh for a short time.

Mine was a netbook with like 99% compatibility. Worked fine. Then it demanded an update to the OS to use Xcode. That required repatching it all again. Then once all done and ready needed new OS for some other thing. Ok upgraded and repatched again and was ready to go. Then a week later Xcode required another osx upgrade.

Sod all the mucking around (mainly because needed a fair bit of mucking around to get it to settle down each time). So I just bought a mini. After all the profits would cover it

Im on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - Updated iPhone4 & iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and can still compile GBasic apps in XCode 4.2 (iOS 5.0 sdk) and run them on my devices with iOS 5.1 with no issue

Where is de problemo? 

[ampos]

Im still in xcode 3, and will not update since GLBasic does not use any iOS features, it works fine on any iOS version.

Shit, I just realised that I have the same Mac as Gernot. 

Edit: wait a minute, no its Core 2 Duo... oh that's just as bad... I only bought the damn thing for iPhone compilation! 

Edit: OK, according the the first post Core 2 Duo should run Lion, it doesn't on mine, its says that its not compatible with Core 2 Duo... (kicks Mac over )

I have the mid-late 2010 New Mac Mini (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo). I too bought it only for iPhone compilation. I've probably only turned the thing on a dozen times. Is it now obsolete? 

According to Apple, Core 2 should run it - http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/ (STEP 1).

Core2 duo should work. Core (not 2) duo not. It seems to require x64.

Core2 duo should work. Core (not 2) duo not. It seems to require x64.

Meh, after a little investigation, I see that the box my Mac came in has the wrong specs on it, it says Core 2 Duo on the outside but that's not what's inside the actual computer, it seems it has an Intel Core Duo. What a PITA.

I am not buying any more Apple stuff either, it seems to me that Apple has too much control on when things becomes obsolete. Intel Core Duo is more than capable of producing code for iOS but Apple at this point has said "no more for you, time to give Apple more money"!

Ian you could dual boot that thing and use it as a server/media center. Its a nice bit of kit. Shame if you didn't use it for something.

I wonder if there is any way to virtualise Lion, so it can be used on older Macs in a way that Apple would consider legitimate.

[Ian Price]

There's loads i could do with my Mac - it's plugged into the tv, and it has an external 1TB drive, so it could just be used as a PVR if I wanted. I even bought Parallels for it and have Windows XP installed (for my wife really, as she has never used OSX). I even installed MS Office and loads of other things (including GLBasic). It's a nice but of kit, but as I've not bothered compiling iOS apps since B'lox! it's been a bit of a waste of money really. I will get around to using it more soon though, I hope.

[bigsofty]

Well the only silver lining is that the resale value ofApple hardware is good, even older stuff. So I'll probably eBay it. Strange how the box said the wrong CPU though?

Now didn't someone mention a Windows iOS GLB compiler?
