I am distributing outside of the Apple Store for this Macos product. I need to install the app and its supporting files in a specific way. Pkg files don't do that, and I could add it to the app though, on startup... Just would prefer a real look and feel installer

Does anyone have recommendations for a MacOS installer? Something along the lines of Installshield for Mac??

Me Either.

Me too. Some of the other platforms make no sense to me. Especially the API's

Thanks, I found that too. I was hoping it was not accurate.... Now to look for another way to do what I need....

So I use the following code on windows: ... FileMk:THandle ... If ((FileMk=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ) and System.SysUtils.FileExists(tempName)) then FileMk:=FileOpen(tempName,fmExclusive or fmShareExclusive); ... Works Fine on windows. For the average person they can't copy the file, open the file, rename the file, etc.... It doesn't work on MACOS. I have been looking all over the interwebs and really haven't found much. Does anyone know how to accomplish the same feat on MacOS?

So you didn't, and therefore you don't know what they stated about the 64bit IDE, yet you complain..... They specifically stated that you should use the 32bit IDE and play with the 64 bit. Just like everyone who complains they don't test the IDE enough, they are giving us the chance to catch more issues now so when they actually release it, those issues aren't there.

The webinar was completely forthcoming about the release of 64bit IDE. Did you not watch it?

I have had some issues,.... Installed- Errors opening 64 bit IDE, and no ability to add 64bit Platforms to projects. Uninstall, install- Same issues.... Took 5 Install /Uninstall cycles to get it to work. Sent the screen shots to Embarcadero in a case.... I was however happy to not have to reinstall all my previous components and getit packages.

Did you select it in the Manage Features? (right hand side during install). It's not installed by default

And it's the same codebase as the 32bit IDE, just compiled as 64 bit.

Per: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14115180 Seems Google released a Picker that MUST be used if your app doesn't use Images/Media as core functionality. Anyone Ported it yet?

Ah.... I also noted that Delphi's "Clean" doesn't remove a lot of stuff from build directories. It Seems a goo Select all/Delete helps too. Thank you sir!

@Dave Nottage I got away from this for a bit, but I am now looking back at it. It Seems the 64 bit version doesn't compile. I have tried to add the dw-kastri-base-3.0.0.jar to the 64 bit version but it doesn't "Add". I can compile the libforegroundservice.o just fine.
