Mac App - Distributed Version of Help Not Working Fully.
Development machine : OS X 10.8.2, on late 2008 MBP , Xcode 4.5.2
The app has a nine html page help system. Each page shares a sidebar menu with
nine choices. Each menu choice involves a link of the following type:
<a href="help:anchor=anchor_name bookID=com.mycompany.myapp.help">
This menu system link work as intended on my development machine.
When I distribute the app to another machine (OS X 10.6.8) using either of the following methods the help system loads the title page but the anchor links fail to work:
1. Transfer a debug version of app to another machine.
2. Use Archive to produce an install PKG file. In this
method I deliver the PKG to a tester, using a Development Provisioning Profile
that includes the UUID of the target machine.
Can anyone please suggest a fix for this problem?
This problem went away with OS X 10.8.3

I actually built a Hackintosh to learn programming with Xcode. It runs on my Asus X555LA laptop. I downloaded the latest Xcode 9 GM build from the Apple Site (not from App store). After extracting, when I tried to install, it shows "You can't use this version of the application "Xcode" with this version of macOS; You have macOS 10.12. The application requires macOS 10.12.6 or later".
Is there any tweak to make it run on my Sierra 10.12 itself? I can't really think about upgrading the macOS version as it's a Hackintosh. I followed this guide to install macOS on my Asus laptop.
Xcode requires latest macOS, you have no choice, you need to upgrade the macOS version on your Hackintosh. Or better: Reinstall macOS in a recommended way on your PC, if you're doing Hackintosh... :)
The guide you linked is very poor... Never use premade install images, because these have been modified in an uncertain way, and you don't want to install a premade undocumented mess to your computer. It might be packed with threats, malwares, spy tools and so on.. It's the worst thing I can imagine in security aspect to install an OS image from uncertain source.
Also, there is no universal macOS installer for PCs - even though many are trying to find a way to create it: it's a bad idea and it will never succeed because there are so many PC parts, millions of differently built computers..
The only way to create a stable fully functional Hackintosh is to know your hardware and create an installer flash drive for that specific PC. First you have to download the latest macOS Sierra from AppStore, this is the only source that you can trust, because it's downloading from Apple's servers. Then install a small program, called Clover bootloader to the flash drive to make it bootable.
This is the only full and up to date guide for PC laptops. If you have questions, register to the linked site and start a new forum thread posting your questions. They will help you but please read this guide at least 3-4 times carefully because everything is described here.
I can't find information on what are the system requirements for Mac for the mobile add-on for Delphi XE4 (Professional).
My understanding is that XCode is still required to sign the app binary and to deploy it on a test device and/or App Store.
Our Mac is so old that the minimum requirement of OSX for the latest XCode won't even install.
I'd like to know if we need to have the Mac upgraded to accomodate this.
Ok - found the answer: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/rad-studio/rad-studio-data-sheet.pdf second page:
PC running Windows connected with an Intel-based Mac, with 2 GB RAM
or more, running OS X
10.8 (Mountain Lion) or 10.7 (Lion) over a local area network using a SSH, VNC or Windows file sharing solution
Apologies & much appreciated if you've attempted to help me:
XCode will still be required, so of course your Mac system will have to be updated to be able to support it.
The documentation for XE3 will give you the minimums requirements for that version, and you should require XE4 to at least require those minimum requirements. As it doesn't seem your existing system meets those, you can probably be sure it won't support the requirements for XE4.
You can also contact Embarcadero Sales with pre-sales question, with the email address you'd expect (Sales at the companyname.com).
Older threads mention that there is a download for Xcode for Snow Leopard listed in the Xcode downloads on https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode if you are logged-in as an enrolled iOS developer - but I can't see it.
A comment on this thread has a direct link to the download, but clicking on the link redirects to an "Access Denied" error page:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7662246/cant-download-xcode-4-for-snow-leopard-anymore
you can refer to here. or if you have a good internet connection, try to download via torrent. here is the link. link for xcode via torrent.
Your Required software is available at this link, https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Currently Xcode 4.2 is on 6th page.
Please note: OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard) is now TOO OLD to publish an app.
You need a mac with OS X 10.8 (mountain lion). Apple have not maintained backward compatibility: the minimum versions of Xcode or Application Launcher needed to meet the app store requirements won't run on 10.6.8.
You can develop, test and simulate with your old mac, but ultimately to build and publish your app you'll need a newer Mac.
I need to install Xcode 3 on my MacBook Pro (so I can install Haskell Platform). I can't upgrade the MBP to Snow Leopard (10.6), but the Xcode 3 available for download from http://developer.apple.com/mac/ requires 10.6. Is there a version of Xcode 3 that will work with Mac OS X 10.5.8? Where do I find it?
My MacBook Pro was provided by my employer (which is why I can't upgrade to Snow Leopard), so I don't have access to the discs that came with it.
(Note, I moved this from https://superuser.com/questions/112629/where-can-i-find-a-version-of-xcode-3-that-will-run-on-mac-os-x-10-5/112630#112630 after noticing I had accidentally posted it there.)
Now, the latest version which would work with 10.5.8 seems to be 3.1.4. It is really hard to find on the Apple site. After logging in, you may be able to access this page: http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wo/5.1.17.2.1.3.3.1.0.1.1.0.3.3.3.3.1
Search for "3.1.4", or try this direct link: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/xcode_3.1.4_developer_tools/xcode314_2809_developerdvd.dmg
You have to login to get to the link, so I don't think I can send you a direct link.
Does this work for you?
https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19897
It is tough to find on the site, but here's how:
go to http://developer.apple.com
Click "Resources" at the top of the page
Under OSX click "Downloads"
Uncheck all options but Developer Tools and type "XCode" into the search bar. You will find all versions under this search.
I am trying to run a Mono application on the Mac that has an embedded web browser control. The program runs, but now broswser is show and a message is output:
libgluezilla not found. To have webbrowser support, you need libgluezilla installed
I have searched, but have no idea how to install this. Your guidance would be appreciated.
You cannot use the embedded web browser control on Mac. Hence, there is no libgluezilla for Mac.
It worked in 2.4.2 of mono, but not with the latest patch. ( 2.4.2.1 )
I am loosing patience with mono on mac platforms. Things used to work and then stop working, creating a bugzilla entry gets no responses at times.
