  1. There is no official API AFAIK. But you may just as easily call the command line for git itself. Refer to the porcelain and plumbing of git for more information. And of course you would have to distribute a copy of git.

    Webhook example

    Judging from the provided link alone a webhook is a server running on the client side. The client, when initiating a connection to a "real" server will provide this address to said server. This means, the server will need a client socket itself, and has to be able to connect to that mini server on the client side. It is a nifty concept to reduce open connections on the server side. Also the clients need not ask if a time consuming task is done, they will be notified via web hook. This concept will be rendered useless by firewalls, proxies and other sane security measures. Possibly only something for a LAN application. But in that case, the server might just dump the result of aforementioned lengthy operation into a samba share and the client could poll that every so often. No webhook needed. Unless the result is not dumpable...which I highly doubt.

    How best to update from 10.3.1 to 10.3.2?

    Well that's one of the drawbacks, when you switch from boring old monolithic to DLL/BPL/.net hell (preferebly a mix of all three, just to make sure). And no, @PeterPanettone I do not think a 12 year old developer should be confronted with this madness, it would scar the poor child for life.

    Is it possible to lock the design UI?

    Geee, Windows 7? You should have a look at this on a current OS. Perhaps it's worse, perhaps it's solved. But mentioning Win7 in the QC might not help your case, I'm afraid.

    Is it possible to lock the design UI?

    As a matter of fact, I had not noticed this behavior. I don't change my setup too often though (read: never). This Quirk should deserve a QC-report.

    Have you tried reloading your desktop layout after such an event?

    @Dalija Prasnikar Huh, will give that a go, next time. Thanks

    Delphi 10.3.2 with Xcode 11 and iOS 13?

    Have you really been able to debug on an iDevice running anything above iOS10?
  10. 1) Don't use it. Secondly: Don't use it like that. 😉

    Which rise no problems ?

    Don't worry, a lot of those AIs seem to pass the Turing test, because they are not....AIs, that is. Read here for more: https://ghostwork.info/

  13. Delphi 10.3.2, XCode 10.3 (coincidence?) and MacOS 10.14.6 So, I was trying to update an old demo project to run with iOS 12. Last time it was successfully compiled and installed was with Tokyo and iOS 11. But today it is just giving me a really hard time with the strangest errors I never saw before (details below). So I started a minimal App to get get things rolling again, and this at least runs on the simulator, but not on my iPad. Another App, in constant development, does both perfectly fine, btw. And I already "turned it off and on again". With the new App I started from scratch, compilation is fine, but deployment results in: I found a TesterApp.app in my Macs scratch-dir so I decided to add it to my device manually, which gives me And there really is no info.plist, and no executable. It baffles me. I have no idea how to get those things into the App. Delphi should take care of that. As for the older App I'm trying to revive, compilation seems fine as well, but this is what I get when running it (F9) with Dev-Settings: Leaving me with a seemingly half finished .App file without an executable in my scratch-dir.Setting to Ad-hoc build gets even stranger messages in the IDE and still no executable: Any ideas?

    Issue with a new and a (rather old) App for iOS with Rio

    Thanks, will give that a try and come back to you later today. As I said, it's an old Demo project, and time is pressing on the important ones....

    VCL-styled Popupmenu issue if imagelist is assigned

    With's the deal with "With"?

    I beg to differ. Naming a property/function more explicitly for the sake of with is...how do I put this politely?...not helpful. Say I have a class TCar with properties Wheel and Engine and functions Drive and Park. If I understand you correctly you would expect me to call those properties and functions CarWheel, CarEngine, CarDrive and CarPark, to be explicit enough for the rare case when someone uses with on my TCar...

    Check out the "Language" part of that list...you should find "Formatting" very quick.

    With's the deal with "With"?

    I'm guessing they are discussing to drop the with statement altogether once a new release is on the horizon, but chicken out in the last minute. So nothing is done to fix anything broken by with.

    IDE changes monitor when debug run

    Aha, I understand. It would be more flexible if the IDE would stay on the monitor it was last seen on. OK. I have a rather static setup with my two monitors, so I don't have that issue.

    IDE changes monitor when debug run

    Are those settings really not stored when you save the Debug Desktop?

    Do we have a spam problem?

    Those pesky bots overrun our defenses constantly, but combined with the keen eyes of our members we valiantly keep fighting them off. TL;DR: Yepp, we're working on it though.

    Application Loader no longer included in Xcode11

    Considering Delphi is not the only product that can create iOS Apps, Apple will surely have not removed this functionality altogether. Just from looking at the Help you provided I think it is possible to upload our Apps (archives in Help lingo) from there. Maybe uploading wont take forever then? Seeing as that big ole Apploader was a laggy piece of software, it was just about time they overhauled it.
