Are there any special considerations we will need to take into account for Mac scenarios? Furthermore, with features such as COM interop which aren't applicable on a Mac, how do you give visibility of these capabilities to your code?
if (Silverlight.Environment.SupportsCOMInterop) {
// do stuff
}
More generally, could your code determine whether it's running on a Mac or Windows?
This blog post gives an overview of what's new with trusted applications. Can you clarify your question about Macs?
According to the LIVE speak afterwards (approx. 2h ago): besides the lack of COM (obviously) Trusted Mode on Mac should be equivalent to the TM on Windows (access to hardware/cam/keyboard/file-system).
Shawn Wildermuth gave a talk last night in Atlanta and he discussed some of the potential compatability issues with the Elevated Trust (not Full Trust) on the Mac. He mentioned that Drag-and-Drop support is going to be difficult because of the way Safari/Firefox (can't remember which one) is used to run out-of-browser on the mac. HTML embedding on the Mac might also be an issue. Shawn is speaking at notatpdc.com tonight about SL4 features.
