## macOS SDK
If you're simply developing Electron and don't plan to redistribute your
custom Electron build, you may skip this section.
For certain features (e.g. pinch-zoom) to work properly, you must target the
macOS 10.10 SDK.
Official Electron builds are built with Xcode 7.3.1, which does not contain
the 10.10 SDK by default. To obtain it, first download and mount the
[Xcode 6.4](http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/download.action?path=/Developer_Tools/Xcode_6.4/Xcode_6.4.dmg)
DMG.
Then, assuming that the Xcode 6.4 DMG has been mounted at `/Volumes/Xcode` and
that your Xcode 7.3.1 install is at `/Applications/Xcode.app`, run:
```bash
cp -r /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
```
## Getting the Code
