That would be great, but I do see certain different behaviors when I run the iOS 16 App release via TestFlight on an iOS 17 device. Those issues will be hard to find without proper debugging. I think so too, any ideas when a fix will be available? The deadline is around April, I assume from then XCode 15 is hardly required, or allows Apple a grace time until our IDEs will be fixed? Would be great if there would be any official statement about this issue and the status of fixing it. I have iOS 16 and iOS 17 device available, but only a MacBook (Intel), so I cannot use the simulator ( which I also would not put in the ring, if not really needed ). Regarding the XCode internal changes, I'm not clear about how deep they were, but I expect the worst from what I have read so far. If you have more insights about the relevance of the changes, it would be great to get more info. I would assume that linker, debugger, PAServer and a lot more functions were affected.

Yes, but if you touch the Location already in FormCreate, then the permission request comes later, and this will be problematic. That was my point.

Yes, I need debugging on devices, because I need to debug external devices too. Without debugging, this turns out to be a real pain, although I have implemented massive logging meanwhile. In the past debugging worked reliable sometimes on Android, sometimes on iOS / Macos, but always some way to go. In D12 and XCode 15 it seems not to work any longer, no matter what. Another way out would be to imp,ement the according Win32 functions, to at least debug there, but also this is not running out-of-the-box. Before I put too much energy into XCode 15, I better try with the last version, ... time is NOT on my side

It seems that unfortunately nobody else has some more insights regarding Sonoma and XCode 14.3.1 vs. XCode 15.2, so I want at least post my current results here. With the method described, see above, it seems that I could successfully (trick)-install XCode 14.3.1 under Sonoma (Intel), including normal debugging function under iOS and Macos. At least this works for iOS 16.4 devices so far, which is the latest SDK offered, although the iPhone has installed iOS 16.75. I have not yet made experiments with iOS 17, but I will try soon and see how this might behave. At the moment I tested only the Rx12.0 version, without the latest IDE patch, so my next move will be to check the behavior of the Patch 1.

Yes, the location is called asynchronously. I also would not stress the system directly in FormCreate, with the activation of Location, where it is still loading and initializating. Better to do that at a later time, maybe FormShow, or even better, manually controlled on demand by your own code only. I'm not sure if you asked for PermissionRequest correctly, because I cannot see something similar like this in your code. The result should be in mainUI thread, but to ensure that this is true you can use ForceQueue, to protect this against mysterious situations. I know that Android systems might forgive many of such issues in debug mode, but clearly is at high risk to fail in release and PlayStore. procedure Tfrm.FormShow(Sender: TObject); begin DoLocationActivate; end; procedure Tfrm.DoLocationActivate; begin TPermissionsService.DefaultService.RequestPermissions( [LPermissionLocationF, LPermissionLocationC] // PermissionResult , procedure ( const APermissions: TClassicStringDynArray; const AGrantResults: TClassicPermissionStatusDynArray ) begin if ( ( Length( AGrantResults ) <> 2 ) or ( ( AGrantResults[0] <> TPermissionStatus.Granted ) ) or ( ( AGrantResults[1] <> TPermissionStatus.Granted ) ) ) then begin exit; //user doesnt grant access end; TThread.ForceQueue( // this should not be necessary, but just to ensure that Active := True is really called in the main thread only procedure begin LocationSensor.Active := True; end ); end ); end;

Have you performed a PermissionRequest before?

It stays strange, the tip in the link works partly: When unzipped and copied XCode to /Applications ( about 24 GB ), then I used this command "open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode" first time This looks promising, starting a UI asking which components to install, I kept the checked Macos and iOS frameworks Then it prepared something but seemed to crash. When I started a second time, it give output like this in the terminal, but doesn't start really in normal mode. The default interactive shell is now zsh.

At least XCode is back for the moment, but I'm looking towards the next showstoppers soon. If Apple really doesn't want us to use XCode, they will finally win.

OMG: It's worse. It seems XCode 14.3.1 is not running on Sonoma anymore, why . https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/731005 Is this the case, or is there any hack how this can be done? Updating Apple products is always a pain in the a**, but this time it really seems to break my workflow completely. So do I have to upgrade to XCode 15.2, or is there any way out?

Hi there, from a very early startup of an iOS project, I've got the following exception, when stepping over simple variables. ( RadStudio Rx11.3 ) These are same stuff for a bunch of similar sets, just several similar Excludes() like this, so nothing fancy: Exclude( LFeatCurr.States.State, Grant_FG ); Exclude( LFeatCurr.States.State, Granting_FG ); Exclude( LFeatCurr.States.State, Grant_BG ); Exclude( LFeatCurr.States.State, Granting_BG ); All variables and other stuff is tested and seems OK so far, where the exceptions seem to be thrown mostly at the last-before position, but maybe also at other positions randomly. The same project worked fine so far during debugging. Message: "Invalid Thread ID: -1" [6C6C1392]{dbkdebugide280.bpl} Debug.TProcess.GetThreadFromId (Line 8835, "Debug.pas" + 7) + $1C [6C6B31A1]{dbkdebugide280.bpl} Debug.TDbkBreakpoint.DoHandleWhenOccurs (Line 2384, "Debug.pas" + 10) + $9 [6A529962]{gdbdebugide280.bpl} GdbDbkWrapper.TDbkBkptWrapper.BreakpointHits (Line 1181, "GdbDbkWrapper.pas" + 2) + $B [6A6765CE]{gdbdebugcore280.bpl} GDBProcess.TGDBProcess.NotifyBreakpointOccurred$ActRec.$0$Body (Line 2338, "GDBProcess.pas" + 8) + $1A [71E015BF]{rtl280.bpl } System.Classes.CheckSynchronize (Line 15785, "System.Classes.pas" + 34) + $A [6BCF6E97]{fmx280.bpl } FMX.Platform.Win.TPlatformWin.ThreadSync (Line 3503, "FMX.Platform.Win.pas" + 3) + $2 [71E05C1C]{rtl280.bpl } System.Classes.StdWndProc (Line 18517, "System.Classes.pas" + 8) + $0 [717D5263]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.Forms.TApplication.ProcessMessage (Line 11488, "Vcl.Forms.pas" + 23) + $1 [717D52A6]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.Forms.TApplication.HandleMessage (Line 11518, "Vcl.Forms.pas" + 1) + $4 [717D55E5]{vcl280.bpl } Vcl.Forms.TApplication.Run (Line 11657, "Vcl.Forms.pas" + 27) + $3 [00DB80A2]{bds.exe } bds.bds (Line 227, "" + 16) + $2 At that time, only 5 threads were active in the debugger, and they look pretty much OK too. What puzzles me is the relation to VCL in the exception data above. Maybe that means the exception is caused by the IDE or debugger himself, or there is anything else running terribly wrong. I will try to restart & retry, but would like to ask with these data inspection first, to clarify if this is maybe a known behavior and to identify the culprit here. So far I see this kind of "external" debugger exception for the first time.

All objects under same layout and managing layers and groups with TLayout: Yes, definitively. Not sure what kind of "opacity" you need, but you could also put finally a TRectangle as cover over all, with Align := Contents, and set HitTest := False, Stroke.Kind := None, File.Color := White (or Black depending on your design), and set Opacity as you desire. This will "grey out" the underlying objects, while they are still active.

You o ly can use APK for Debugger, Switch from Project Relese to Debug, that should Do it.

Why, this is a typical problem for young start-ups that have developed brand new and fancy products that have suddenly and unexpectedly gone incredibly viral, but unfortunately, they have not 100% stable infrastructure and business processes yet. Their main goal would be to stabilize all processes and infrastructures as quickly as possible so that they do not disrupt and hinder the delivery processes created by the hype surrounding their fancy products.

At least, DocWiki looks OK to me. Praise the Lord, it's back again

You should cleanup the expired certificates in keychain. Apple dislikes ambiguent certificates there.

Have you checked the right 32/64 bitness of APK and Phone OS ? Oh, no, it could be this one https://en.delphipraxis.net/topic/10704-delphi-12-and-android-14/

Good to hear that D12 is so successful that datacenters starts boiling Move on like that

That might be the case, but I see another typical problem on the horizon. I call it the "case solved" problem, where one might think a case is solved once for all, never considering that there may lie any hidden problems inside. Especially with threads, this might lead to long and painful problem searches, if you are too sure about your initial solution. But you'right, depends on the case, which we don't really have seen right now.

Yes, but why hiding TEvent information, when this was made especially suited for Threads, not the Sleep method. This might avoid that someone, who is new to threads, that he is stepping into the wrong direction from the first step. I personally like to lay all info on the table, with all pro's and con's, where the user can decide well on his own. I think, to refine a wrong, too early decision later on can be a lot harder than necessary.

Are you able to run a simple Xcode app? If so, the system should be ok and you could try a simple, new and empty Delphi app.

Copy the original FMX.Platform.iOS to your project folder, under the project directory, that directory where the *.dproj file sits. Perhaps you need to unlock the write protection of that file. Make the changes. Additionally, add this copied, edited file to the project tree itself. That should replace the original file by your edited, copy of that file, and should use that from now on for linking.

Perhaps a case of flooding, I would protect this like that: procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject); begin Timer1.Enabled := False; sndPlaySound('C:\Windows\Media\Tada.wav', SND_NODEFAULT Or SND_ASYNC); Timer1.Enabled := True; end; But I think you can run several sounds anyway in parallel, which may of course run in a new thread each. The end of a sound can also be delayed, so that maybe the audio is not yet cleared, before the next requests starts. Edit: Sorry - Below was FMX related, not VCL Have you tried with MediaPlayer instead? https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Playing_Audio_Files For this I'm pretty sure that this will play several parallel sounds in the background, without problems. -------------------------------------------------------- But there were options for VCL as well https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/de/Einer_Anwendung_Audio-_oder_Videoclips_hinzufügen

I had high hope in some of the Grijjy tools as well, unfortunately I must say that they mostly turn out to be proof-of-concept only. I can see not much roadmap, improvements or long-term support ( CloudLogger 5yr old ) . Maybe someone can proof me wrong, I hope so For a logger I can recommend Dave's DeviceLens for Android, which works nicely and is well-supported.

Good question. I have the feeling that Androids policies changes more fast than you can write a line of code. Of course other IDE (Android Studio) might be better supported, but I think in general all developer face the same problems nowadays: A code running today, probably is outdated tomorrow. I think this is not dependent much on the IDE's or frameworks you use, but it's an Apple and Google policy, to keep developers under permanent stress level.
