Hi there. XCode 12 has been looming in the AppStore for roughly a week now. Has anyone gotten over themselves and installed it? If so, what did Delphi have to say?

Same here. Plus the tons of bots that just randomly like our posts.

Just trying to figure out what level of expertise to expect, and how deep the explanations should go.

Do you know how to add any text to a TStringGrid? Do you know how to read the contents of a TEdit?

Binary DFM are devils work and must be burnt at the stake whilst vigorously waving pitchforks and shouting obscenities. Version control systems handle them poorly (not that text DFMs are far better in this regard, but, you can manage, once you move any pictures to a datamodule). Actually they are just binary blobs most of the time and will consume unnecessary storage Everything else, the other guys said

No unusual stuff happening on my end. But I don't have deepest insight into the machine running the server. However it it seems more likely your cookies need some cleaning up.

@Angus Robertson He has been there...

To distinguish between add-ons and components is like distinguishing between records and classes - a good thing to ease discussions with your peers.

Wow! Macapi got a lot of attention in this release. All the stupid integers instead of boolean usages (you know: 1 is true and 0 is false) have been corrected to boolean. Plenty of work to correct that now in my application

I'm pretty much with @Stefan Glienke this is a Delphi forum. C++ is sometimes mentioned here, but I believe we should not muddy the waters here, plus C++ users might not be satisfied with a mere sub forum. But in the end, this is up to @Daniel

Hmmm, have not installed that yet either, but I'll have to check if I actually have the command line tools for my current version. It has been some time since I needed XCode. Yupp, that was it. I failed to install the command line tools. Now everything is OK. XCode 11.6 btw.

Soooo, has anyone successfully installed the Apple SDKs? I am unable to, neither macOS nor iOS works. Correct PAServer is installed and running with tested connection. Do I have to grant the PAServer some permissions, maybe?

This is a tradition and traditions are not to be messed with. No matter how annoying the are.

Yes. It has been this way for some time now. I just trusted them to stick to that plan. Perhaps that was a lucky guess.

It's on the very first dialogue.

I guess anyone who hasn't jumped ship by now just doesn't care anymore. 😞

Well it did have the TXPManifest Komponent. But I don't believe they really used it themselves.

Best practice has always been to just build the command line and execute that. No hassle with DLL changes, no issues with 32Bit vs. 64Bit and last but by far not least: easy testing by just copying the generated command line into a terminal and checking the output.

Did you try to telnet to that port from another machine?

So...what was the problem then? How did you solve it in the end? I bet there is somebody out there still fighting with this issue.

As far as I can tell AP is writing about https://github.com/pyscripter/python4delphi which (in short) is a Python wrapper. It would be cool to script the Delphi IDE with Python, but I consider that to be a construction site worth leaving be at this time.

With so many computers lying around, why is there no room for one with a correctly setup iptables and transparent squid(guard) with updating black lists? Better yet, IPCop + Squid? Windows is simply not safe to be directly connected to the Internet, no matter how much you fiddle around with its security settings. Seriously!

OMG...I just saw, I copied the wrong declarations to the interface. My bad! Corrected here: type TForm1 = class(TForm) Edit1: TEdit; Label1: TLabel; Label2: TLabel; Button1: TButton; MemoLog: TMemo; procedure BtnClick(Sender: TObject); procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); procedure OnServiceConnectionChange(Sender: TObject; PushChanges: TPushService.TChanges); procedure OnReceiveNotificationEvent(Sender: TObject; const ServiceNotification: TPushServiceNotification); But good on you, that you spotted the problem and solved it!

Just let the server provide the client with a download link. Using soap to download data is quite cumbersome in my experience. Cumbersome meaning slow...and you might even need to convert binary data to a readable format like base64 server side and reconvert client side, costing more performance.

Ummm, no. those methods are intended to be part of the class TForm1. So add those declarations to the class declaration: type TForm1 = class(TForm) Edit1: TEdit; Label1: TLabel; Label2: TLabel; Button1: TButton; MemoLog: TMemo; procedure BtnClick(Sender: TObject); procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); procedure BtnClick(Sender: TObject); procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); Like this...
