    Exception logging/reporting on MacOS?

    https://blog.grijjy.com/2021/10/18/build-your-own-error-reporter-part-3-macos-intel/ Note that when this was published, there was yet to be support for ARM, however the last line says: "I may add some missing pieces to get this to work for ARM Mac apps as well" Since the code has not been updated since then, you'd need to either contact Erik or add an issue to the repo, regarding support for ARM.
  2. You might like to read this: https://developer.android.com/develop/background-work/background-tasks/broadcasts#context-registered-receivers ..and remember that I asked about what your code is doing. Presumably, part of it is registering a receiver at runtime, and it is not including RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED in the flags when calling registerReceiver.

    I'm on the Dark Side... no, really!

    It is relatively trivial in the IDE. There are however some "gotchas" with some controls that are not automatically themed, or not themed well - TGroupBox being one of them. I've had a bit of a look into this myself. It would be relatively straightforward if it were not for the "gotchas" I mentioned above, and for the DpiScaler (part of GExperts) which seems to totally confuse theming of the title bars. Even with "disabling" the DpiScaler, the Grep Search (which is what I use most in GExperts) looks like this when themed (including title bar): Note how the control to search for text is covered by the title bar, how horrid the TGroupBox controls look, etc. When I started theme support in Codex, I gave up on TGroupBox. Same form when not theming the title bar:

    iOS Simulator Problem connecting to Rest Server

    I did this quite some time ago, however it's for x86 simulator (as opposed to arm64, which is the only simulator architecture now supported by Delphi). See also this link. This answer from SO might be useful. If it's just for http(s), I strongly recommend using the native HTTP client, because it makes development/deployment much, much easier.

    iOS Simulator Problem connecting to Rest Server

    It's possible that you will need to add this to info.plist.TemplateiOS.xml inside of the <dict> tag: <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> </dict>

    Convert Visual Studio 2012 code to Delphi

    Apparently you would need a BMW ZGW device, or a way of simulating one.
  7. It appears TF is accessing resources that have been restricted in Android 12 and above. Do you plan on deploying the app to Play Store?

    TDirectory.CreateDirectory not creating new folder

    The target API level for Delphi 11.3 defaults to 32, which is Android 12. Since Android 10, access to shared folders has been restricted. You'll need to either manually modify AndroidManifest.template.xml to change %targetSdkVersion% to 29 (Android 10) and ensure that the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage=true attribute is present on the application opening tag, or rethink how you're accessing files, e.g. whether they need to be in a shared area at all, and if so, whether to use MediaStore or DocumentsProvider. You may want to read this.
  9. Not sure why you would expect anyone to know without any detail whatsoever as to what your code is doing. You could use a logcat viewer to view what messages are coming from the device when the app attempts to start. See this link: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/HowTo/tree/main/Solutions/LogViewers#android
  10. I sincerely doubt that is the only way, however since you refuse to give a more complete example (not in a screenshot, and something that is sufficient to reproduce the issue), it's difficult to find an answer. Good luck
  11. There's still insufficient detail in your code example (and screenshots are the worst form of example code). As per my initial reply, I said to use "a logcat viewer to look for related messages" (from the Android device), not messages in the IDE.
  12. Your example is a bit light on details - how are all these defined? InterpreterOptionsAddDelegate InterpreterOptions GpuDelegate InterpreterCreate Model Regardless, have you used a logcat viewer to look for related messages (error, or otherwise)?

    Code for getting permissions not working in Delphi 11

    This: procedure(const APermissions: TArray<string>; const AGrantResults: TArray<TPermissionStatus>) Needs to be: procedure(const APermissions: TClassicStringDynArray; const AGrantResults: TClassicPermissionStatusDynArray) I believe the change to the types was related to C++Builder compatibility

    Android TV and remote control

    That's likely because there's only a few supported, including the arrow keys. This is some code I used a while ago in a TV app, which I have not touched in some time: type TKeyNavigation = (None, Home, Back, Left, Right, Up, Down, OK); // KeyUp method is overridden from TForm procedure TExampleForm.KeyUp(var Key: Word; var KeyChar: System.WideChar; Shift: TShiftState); var LKeyNavigation: TKeyNavigation; LIsTV: Boolean; begin // For the following code, please refer to: // https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri/blob/c01b93369c2c33f8ab22acad611939be4789aae6/Core/DW.OSDevice.Android.pas#L216 // and: // https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri/blob/c01b93369c2c33f8ab22acad611939be4789aae6/Core/DW.OSDevice.pas#L34 LIsTV := TOSDevice.GetUIMode = TUIMode.Television; LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.None; case Key of vkHardwareBack, vkEscape: LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.Back; vkleft: LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.Left; vkUp: LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.Up; vkRight: LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.Right; vkDown: LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.Down; 0, vkReturn: begin if KeyChar = #0 then LKeyNavigation := TKeyNavigation.OK; end; end; if FPreventExit and ((Key = vkHardwareBack) or (LIsTV and (Key = vkEscape))) then begin Key := 0; KeyChar := #0; end; if (LKeyNavigation <> TKeyNavigation.None) and LIsTV then KeyNavigation(LKeyNavigation); end; procedure TExampleForm.KeyNavigation(const ANavigation: TKeyNavigation); begin // Use this method to determine what to do with the navigation key end; Looking at it again now, it probably needs more work.
  15. Thanks to a message from @Stewag, I've been prompted to revisit this issue. The following code works on iOS 17. I expect it'll work on iOS 16 - not sure about earlier: unit Unit1; interface uses System.SysUtils, System.Types, System.UITypes, System.Classes, System.Variants, FMX.Types, FMX.Controls, FMX.Forms, FMX.Graphics, FMX.Dialogs, FMX.Controls.Presentation, FMX.StdCtrls; type TForm1 = class(TForm) Button1: TButton; procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject); private { Private declarations } public { Public declarations } end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation {$R *.fmx} uses Macapi.ObjectiveC, Macapi.Helpers, iOSapi.Foundation, iOSapi.UIKit, iOSapi.Helpers; type UIViewControllerEx = interface(UIViewController) ['{3E6C5FB2-20F2-4B42-BFD8-33968A80E809}'] procedure setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations; cdecl; end; TUIViewControllerEx = class(TOCGenericImport<UIViewControllerClass, UIViewControllerEx>) end; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var LID: Pointer; begin Application.FormFactor.Orientations := [TScreenOrientation.Portrait, TScreenOrientation.InvertedPortrait]; if TOSVersion.Check(16) then begin LID := NSObjectToID(TiOSHelper.SharedApplication.keyWindow.rootViewController); TUIViewControllerEx.Wrap(LID).setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations; end else TUIViewController.OCClass.attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation; end; If you run the app, then turn the device so that it is in landscape orientation, then click the button, it'll reorient the app into portrait.

    iOS: Black Screen after start with "More Space" setting

    Not sure how you will do that - there's no "Display Zoom" option, at least not on my iPad

    NetCom7 and Android

    Moving the procedure TConnectThread.ProcessEvent code out of the MSWINDOWS conditional define (e.g. move it to above the line {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}) makes that unit compile. I had to also add System.Types to the implementation clause, for the DWord type.

    iOS: Black Screen after start with "More Space" setting

    I meant that for me, the two options for "Display Zoom" are: "Larger Text" and "Default": (i.e. I do not have a "More Area" option as per your original post)

    Memo and html

    I had a brief look and it appears it may be much more complex with a TMemo

    iOS: Black Screen after start with "More Space" setting

    What version of iOS are they running? iOS 16 and iOS 17 both have "Larger Text" and "Default" on my devices. Apps appear to be OK with "Larger Text" on my devices.

    Working Stand Alone but not ISAPI

    I meant the complete URL, which (assuming you are not using URL rewriting) would need to be something like: https://10.10.1.73/MyApp/MyServer.dll/GetDecryptedPWD Where MyApp is the app you added to the website and MyServer.dll is your ISAPI dll.

    Error when debugging delphi fmx app in IOS 17.4

    Best thing you can do for now is to use log statements.

    Error when iOS application building in Delphi 11.2

    It seems for the Barcode Reader there are no compatible binaries that can be linked in by Delphi, for iOS simulator. If you're using this feature, you'll need to compile for a real device.

    Working Stand Alone but not ISAPI

    You don't mention what Path you have for Action 1, and what URL you are using to access it
  25. I've never seen a project requirement that says something like: "the interface section of SysUtils must be modified in this way" - usually it's more like: "functionality X is required", and it may turn out that the most expedient solution to the requirement is to modify the source. Your description sounds a lot like: "we have SysUtils added to the uses clause of (almost) every unit in the project, so let's change that to avoid having to create another one of our own". Amen.
