If I deploy an application on OS X, do I need to provide binaries for both 32-bit and 64-bit, or is it sufficient to only do 64-bit builds?
Basicall… are there users that might need 32-bit builds in general?
No.
Yes. But…
Be well aware that 64Bit is still considered BETA with Xojo 2017r1.
There are some known issues, especially with Strings (Split, Join).
I’d deploy 32Bit for macOS for now. And once Xojo is ready, switch to 64Bit.
Thank you Jürg.
10.6 was the first fully 64-bit version of OS X and machines since 2007 have been 64-bit capable.
Since the minimum build target of Xojo is 10.7 as if 2016r1, as soon as 64-bit leaves Beta you’ll be good to go.
Great stuff, thanks Greg.
