For future versions of REALbasic, we have implemented loading plugins
directly in memory for Mach-O plugins using new APIs in 10.3 and
higher. We now suggest that all universal binaries be built as bundles
instead of dynamic libraries.
This does not mean that the plugins will become folder bundles, but
rather the Mach-O type will be Bundle (MH_BUNDLE from Mach-O/Loader.h).
In Xcode, this setting is called "Mach-O Type". Changing this setting
from "Dynamic Library" to "Bundle" will work properly in 2006r4 and
later, and in future versions of REALbasic, these plugins will be
loaded directly in memory and not written out to disk.
This is not a requirement, and old plugins will continue to function
normally. This should only be done to the Universal Binary, however,
as 2006r3 and prior did not know how to load up MH_BUNDLE plugins. If
you're shipping a separate PowerPC Mach-O library, continue using the
Dynamic Library type for backwards compatibility.
Thanks,
Jon
