I am currently investigating whether I am going to be able to support older Macs through Mac Catalyst (Macs with an M1 or M2 processor can already run the iPadOS version). Unfortunately, there are a few limitations at the moment with supporting Mac Catalyst:
1) I cannot use the new picture taking capabilities (which isn't as important as on the iPad itself)
2) I cannot use Microsoft's OneDrive libraries, as they don't support Mac Catalyst and have stated that they will most likely not support it.
I don't want to remove support for either of those from the iPadOS version, so this means if I wanted to release MobileSheets for older Macs, it would have to be released as a completely separate product through the Mac App Store. This means it would require a separate purchase from the iPad version. Additionally, my PDF library license is only for the iPadOS version, and if I wanted to release MobileSheets under a different application name (i.e. MobileSheets for MacOS), I would have to purchase a separate PDF library license. So before adding extra development expenses, I wanted to get a sense from some of the users on the forum - how many of you would want to purchase and utilize MobileSheets for an older Mac that has an intel processor? If there isn't much interest, I most likely won't move forward with this, as it adds yet another version that I have to test and develop for, along with additional development expenses.
Thanks,
Mike
