What is a universal binary distributable?
A universal binary is Apple’s attempt to simplify for users the fact that Macs now run on two different processor families and thus needs a specific binary compiled for each cpu. So the universal binary contains executable code for both Intel X86 and PowerPC cpu’s and MacOS knows how to use it on a given hardware platform ie which code to run. Usually when you use a universal binary, since your executable is in there twice, you would normally NOT use incbin’s in your code, and instead have all your data stored in files that you load, otherwise you would continue to double the space consumed. It’s meant to make it easier to distribute and to install, ie forget about what CPU you have.
