Hello Macholden, please, tell me,

1. I have MacOS 10.6.8 - can I still access XCode SDK 5.1 (?) or I'll need to updated OS to use 5.1.

2. Does AIR 3.4 always uses built-in SDK 5.1, or it'll only work if there is any SDK 5.1 available in the machine, or we need to explicitly tell AIR to work as SDK 5.1.

3. If 1 is yes, then how can I obtain SDK 5.1 to use in MacOS 10.6.8 (?) I couldn't found any downloadable link for 5.1 in Apple Developers site anymore.

Sorry, I'm a little confuse with these Retina and versioning things..

AIR 3.4 effectively includes the 5.1 SDK. To get the 6.0 SDK, if you want to submit an app that supports the iPhone 5 screen for example, then use AIR 3.5 or 3.6.

You actually don't need it.

I believe the 5.1 SDK is included in the AIR 3.4 download both on Windows and Mac machines - we've tried on both.

We alway used to use the external link to 5.0/5.1 SDK but now by just using the standard adt command script, we find the compiled ipa is almost 2 MB smaller without using it.

So I just leave out "

-platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk"
