Compiling for Mac OS X using Delphi XE2

Question

1) I can only add Windows 64 bit as a target platform.
How do I compile for Mac OS X?

2) I want the app to scan through the files on the hard drive and copy them.

Do I need permission from Apple to do this? Some sort of license or something? If so how do I acquire it?

Answer 1

You can only compile Firemonkey projects for OSX.
If you start out with a VCL project, it will be linked to Windows only, because VCL is tied to the Windows API, whereas Firemonkey is cross-platform.

Start a new project:

File -> New -> FireMonkey HD Application

Right click on target platform (choose Add Platform...)

And choose OS X.

Do I need permission from Apple to do this? Some sort of license or something? If so how do I acquire it?
