"Complexities in applying this recent technology, including security and usability issues, mean that we are unable to make e-tax compatible with Apple Mac systems for tax time 2012," the ATO said in a statement. ![]() ![]() ![]() The ATO today said that it has been working with its technology partners since late 2011 to see whether e-tax could be brought out on OS X, but, as of yet, there are still a few unresolved issues. This would allow software developers to create GUIs that work on Windows, OS X and iOS, but the ATO would first need to convert the e-tax GUI to FireMonkey to make it work. The ATO's e-tax application, developed using Delphi, currently only supports Microsoft Windows, but the release of the Delphi XE2 platform in September last year would have allowed the ATO to port the e-tax application to OS X, because Delphi has a cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI) framework called FireMonkey.
