Issues with Tiger Intel

As I blogged yesterday, the Apple developer tools on Snow Leopard have some major bugs which make compiling for backwards compatibility very difficult or impossible. We knew that there were issues with iDupe 2.6 on intel macs running Leopard specifically. We managed to work around these bugs to create iDupe 2.7 which does work on intel macs on Leopard (as well as tested successfully on 10.6.1, 10.5.8 PPC & Intel, and 10.4.11 PPC). However, we now have one report that iDupe 2.7 won't launch on 10.4.11 intel. Unfortunately, as we don't have this configuration to test, there's not much we can do to work around the problem without Apple addressing it. So, if you find any of the WBC don't work on your platform, we urge you to report it. In the meantime, it is very likely that an older build will work just fine. Although we continue to add features to our products, the last round of updates did focus on compatibility upgrades for Snow Leopard, so if you're not on Snow Leopard yet, the older versions should still suit your needs. Thanks.
