 You need to take certain steps to ensure that you use only APIs that are available in all the OS versions BOINC supports for each architecture. The best way to accomplish this is to use a single development system running versions of MacOS and Xcode which are / were current at the time your target version of BOINC was released, and cross-compile for the various architectures. The remainder of this document describes that process.\
