Need an exception logging solution for macOS? In this post we add Intel macOS support to our error reporting building blocks. https://blog.grijjy.com/2021/10/18/build-your-own-error-reporter-part-3-macos-intel/

Wow. We started using CDATA connectors already two years before Embarcadero started bundling it with some of the Delphi SKUs. I wasn't aware that license conditions have changed. I just checked and compared with older EULAs shown during the CDATA component installation and there wasn't a limitation to inhouse distribution only. The 2018 version of the EULA was more similar to typical other component packages - only the typical restrictions did apply. With this license change we'll have to stop using CDATA components. I guess we could afford to pay the costs for upgrading our existing licenses and bring them back to a royalty-free distribution model. Finally it would be a stupid investment as we don't know what other changes might be introduced in the licenses through the backdoor and might render our investment useless (again). I'll be happier with spending that money at other component developers who have a more developer-friendly business model.

It's a common misconception that all software development should and can be done in virtual machines.

Overpriced and underfeatured. Stay away.

This works for me, even switches desktops if you have more that one: BringWindowToTop(FindWindow( nil,'Calculator')); EDIT: the desktop switching is a bit flaky though..

Just an update on this. I am now using CodexSetup/Mosco and have been able to submit to the App Store. Thank you very much Dave.

Twitter will fit better IMHO

Not at present, deploying iOS apps for App Store configuration with Xcode 13 is currently broken: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-35701 One solution is to revert to Xcode 12.5.1. Another is to use a workaround I have created, however it requires installing at least Mosco 1.2.1 (a macOS app): Workaround steps: Install at least Mosco, and Codex if using the workaround from Delphi Build/Deploy your app using App Store config (which will "fail" with Xcode 13) If using the workaround in Delphi itself, in Project Manager, right click the root node of the project and click "Build IPA". If using the workaround in Mosco, click the Mosco icon in the system bar to bring up the menu, click Fixes > Build App Store IPA. Select the app from the ~/PAServer/scratch-dir/[username]-[profile]/ folder and click Build Links to installers: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Codex/blob/master/Bin/CodexSetup_1.5.1.exe https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Mosco/blob/master/Bin/Mosco.1.2.1.pkg

With all your experience you shouldn't be surprised when people wonder if there are better ways to solve problems people face. I'm sure you do the same in your work.
