GameSalad Drops Support for Mac OS X 10.5

November 8 2010, 5:47pm

To all GameSalad developers, We’re in super crunch mode here at GameSalad HQ, and the new update is just about ready. It is still scheduled to launch concurrently with out our new membership program and it’s pretty impressive in terms of improvements. I did want to take a moment, however, to share a little information with you on the new update. Starting with this next release, GameSalad will no longer be compatible with Mac OS X 10.5. We’ve supported Leopard for a long time, but Apple no longer supports 10.5 to an extent that makes it feasible for us to continue as well. Apple’s development tools no longer function on 10.5, including the code-signing tools required to build a proper binary for the iOS App Store. By dropping OS X 10.5, we’ll have more development time to focus on improvements for the Creator within 10.6 and even start looking ahead to and taking advantage of the features of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. We understand that some of you may still be using 10.5 in order to make games for the website or Mac OS. If you are still running 10.5 Leopard, we urge you to take the time and upgrade to 10.6 now. Trust us, it’s quite an improvement. To upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6, check the link below. Mac OS X version 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Mahalo.
