Microsoft Store and the TWindowsStore component ?

I haven't found the M1/M2 offer on tis web site. I thought they have one, perhaps available only when we choose to pay.

You have a solution, even if you don't have or want to buy a M1/M2 Mac today: you can rent one for few a days at a low cost. Try https://www.scaleway.com/en/hello-m1/ They rent real Mac mini M1 hosted in a datacenter in Paris (France). You only have to install the softwares you need : Xcode and PAServer. You have a replay of my webinar (FR) at https://serialstreameur.fr/webinaire-20210304.php with links to written explanations (to translate in your language).

iOS Simulator is only supported on Apple Silicon processors

Hi Has your Mac a M1/M2 processor or an "old" Intel model ?

I see an open issue for this problem : https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-40102

Hi Did you fixed the problem you had ? Can you share the solution if you found one or perhaps did you tried 11.2 Alexandria since November ?

It depends if the same developers or in charge people create web site and desktop/mobile softwares.

Good luck to them. Managers don't realize what they do. The problem is not only a "Delphi is old idea" but also "Internet is beautiful, you can do anything with React" marketing.

Hi What do you want to download and were ?

using books pages with a quiz as a captcha on Windows login screen should be a good feature

IcoFX generate files needed for all platforms. For the sizes we can change if we want more (or less ???) in ICO or ICNS files.

Perhaps ICS ? http://www.overbyte.eu/frame_index.html?redirTo=/products/ics.html

Hi If you want to generate ICO exe files, you can search "Export en format ICO" text in https://github.com/DeveloppeurPascal/PicMobGenerator/blob/main/src/fMain.pas You'll see how I managed it for Pic Mob Generator program I've just open sourced to answer you (it was on my todo list for 2023, thanks for giving me a reason to do it).

Last year (or previous one, I don't remember), Marco Cantù published the updated release of the "official" Delphi's Object Pascal Style Guide. A good start for a lot of coding choices when you have no rules and are not alone on a project. It's online, you can read it and pick some pages for your colleagues and boss. On the Resources / White papers page of Embarcadero website you have a lot of ebooks and books. One of them is a bible for Delphi Object Pascal developers : Object Pascal Handbook Delphi 11 Alexandria Edition You can also read Code Faster in Delphi to have a lot of coding tips. Put them on the Windows desktop of your colleagues, they must read books about coding and good practices !

Hi For those how haven't seen it, the solution is to call PlatformInitialize on your TNotificationCenter component some times before sending any notification like in FormCreate event. Windows will have time to see the shortcut file linked to the registry key and the notification and so not display the registry key name but the EXE file name instead. This problem is just a simple delay in Windows between creating files and seeing them in other API... If you have previous Delphi releases, without PlatformInitialize method, you can create a shortcut to your program in the user startup menu program folder. It should work.
