Earlier quoted context omitted.

Xcode 4 also requires Lion or Mountain Lion. I wonder what percentage of apple computers are still running Snow Leopard (or earlier).

I can't update to 4.6.3 because I'm running Mavericks, I get the 'your OS is too new' dialogue. Xcode 5 DP is nice, if a bit crashy.

I can't wait to switch to XCode 5, so many goodies.

When you have a million users, 70,000 of them is a pretty big number to neglect. edit: numbers

Or other way around, cost to support 7% of your users may be to high to neglect. Sometimes it makes sense to spend that time and effort on the rest 93%.

Except that when Apple themselves were the 7% their view on whether you should support that % of the total audience was that, unequivocally, you should.

Apples and oranges.

Did anyone else notice? Header: iOS 6.1 and Xcode 4.6.2 Text : Make sure your devices are running iOS 6.1 and your Mac has Xcode 4.6.1 And I'm currently on Xcode 4.6.3 nitpicking, just kinda amusing.

Xcode 4.6.3 is just a bug fix release and it came out just a week ago.

At the time this page was updated, 4.6.2 must have been the latest version.

There isn't any equivalent usage share data for OS X provided by Apple (AFAIK).

The presented statistics for market share is based on App Store downloads from iOS devices and similar criterion used to judge OS X install base might not be highly reliable as there are other ways to get apps(applications) installed on OS X.
