It is a question of using a new API to communicate with the browser. If we had been using the previous, Cocoa web plugin API (WebKit), we would have been just equally screwed, because that is no longer capable of rendering OpenGL content in 64-bit Safari either. This is due to the way plugins are executed out-of-process now. @Conrad: This is not so much a question about Carbon vs Cocoa. It is a question of using a new API to communicate with the browser.

It has not been 'rushed' out. Even before Leopard (not Snow Leopard) Apple have been telling developers that they are discontinuing support for carbon (at least 3 years ago). They have continually told developers not to use it, and to use cocoa instead. You should not be in the least bit surprised by this. It has not been ‘rushed’ out.

It's caused by 64 bit Safari deciding "from now on, we'll force all plugins to use a different set of APIs". I guess Apple just chose transition to 64 bit as the moment in time to make this change. @Chris: it’s not caused by 64 “bitness” per se.

Also, maybe Flash in Windowed mode does not use OpenGL. Just guessing here, but Flash is very widespead and surely gets a lot more attention than all the smaller web plugins. If Flash had the same problems as Unity does, sure, we can do the same fixes. But we need to 1) figure out what and how needs to be fixed, and 2) fix it. @Pirks: maybe Apple did let Adobe know about the changes earlier? Also, maybe Flash in Windowed mode does not use OpenGL.

I'm asking because 32-bit Flash plugin works just fine on 64-bit Safari _without_ switching Safari into 32-bit mode. Why Unity guys couldn't do the same trick that Adobe did with Flash for OS X? Any comments on that? I'm just a curious engineer, would be nice to know how Adobe did that and why Unity team could not do the same. Thanks. Maybe this is still a lousy job on Unity team’s side?
