Mac requirement for Delphi XE4 Professional + Mobile Add-On

Question

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.

Answer 1

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:

Answer 2

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.
