If small developers want or need to create software for multiple platforms, it is crucial that they not be expected to maintain multiple code bases to do so. To the extent that the toolset they use supports OS-specific features and these features are incorporated, they end up with a situation where they have to maintain multiple code bases or, in the not-less-unattractive alternative, incorporate lots of platform-checking conditional code.
Oh exactly. *Some* platform testing stuff is to be expected, but generally, it has to be a single code base, stored in a single script set, otherwise, it simple doesn't work. Note my original comment on the topic...

So far as I can see, the only way to develop X-plat using a single code-base with XCode would be to do so in Java, and I'm not sure I'm interested in that route.
Personally, I'm doubting my ability to avoid using ALL of the "big three" x-plat tools. (Revolution, Director, and RealBasic.) My curse is that my projects vary THAT much, and no single one of those tools (other than *maybe* RB fully loaded with every available plug in) could possibly meet my needs. Unfortunate, because that is expensive in both $$ and time - to stay up on everything.
