iPhone SDK: Confirmed, no PPC

March 7, 2008

I was given hope by the docs that said that "not all functionality will work on PPC' macs.

Installing on a Mac gets you XCode 3.1 beta, but no iPhone SDK at all (docs, sample code, projects, etc.). You do get a bit of the cool iPhone Dashcode features for building iPhone web apps, but that's it.

Guess I'll be writing iPhone software on Cyndie's MacBook.

Update: It can be made to work. When/if I get my cert will I have the stones to try and upload to my phone from a non-supported environment? That seems...unlikely, but at the basics can be done via simulator.
