Why do you want to revert to an older Xcode when Delphi works with the current version? Also, if your intention is to deploy apps to the App Store, you're going to need Xcode 13 anyway.

What do you consider "alive"? The last commit was April 27th, which isn't a real long time ago. The last issue closed was March 12th, and before that October 2021.

Take a look at the issues towards the bottom of this list: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri/issues Most are prefixed with [Camera] Yes Not as yet It's not trivial, but also not rocket science 🙂 Camera X appears to be just a "convenience" layer over Camera 2, so there's really still only 2 "takes". For "lower level" stuff like controlling exposure they recommend Camera 2, so I may be sticking with that for now anyway.

Camera 1 API, which has been deprecated for years. I have support for Camera 2 here: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri/tree/master/Demos/Camera, but it sorely needs work. I was hoping to use Camera X (part of Android X), but have hit issues with that: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Playground/tree/main/Demos/CameraX Continuous capture like you speak of is part of my goal, however it's low priority for me at the moment.

The AdMob demo (as well as others in the Playground repo) is dependent on the Kastri library: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri Please see the Project Configuration section, here: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Playground/blob/main/Readme.md

I have 25+ years Delphi experience programming professionally. What does that work out to? 😉 Total years does not necessarily mean "I'm better than someone with less". Results speak louder than years.

The AdMob demo has been updated in the Playground repo. There's a fix to the events issues on iOS, support for adaptive size on iOS for the banner ad, and the code has been updated to support AdMob iOS SDK v9.6.0 https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Playground/tree/main/Demos/AdMob

Whatever the case, the BASS libraries are not ending up in the app. I "pulled" the APK after installing the app, and there's no lib folder:

For me, it asked for permissions (which I granted), then restarts over and over, presenting a toast related to permissions being granted. Without knowing exactly the code is doing during startup, it's going to be difficult to diagnose. I suggest moving as much code as you can out of FormCreate (if you use that event) or the main forms constructor (if you have overridden it), and call it later.

If you're using macOS 12.3 or later, you'll need Delphi 11.1 with Patch 1 installed

Can you indicate what versions you have of Xcode, and macOS?

As well as any 3rd party component packages?

Something has changed the active developer directory. If your Xcode is in the default install location, use this command: sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer To correct it

Did you read the details of the readme, here? https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Playground/tree/main/Demos/AdMob#readme

Without using OLE? Yes. An .xlsx file is in .zip format. You can extract the contents using TZipFile and read the (mostly) xml files inside. You could learn the spec and parse the xml. Here's some links that might help: https://docs.fileformat.com/spreadsheet/xlsx/ http://officeopenxml.com/anatomyofOOXML-xlsx.php https://www.brendanlong.com/the-minimum-viable-xlsx-reader.html https://c-rex.net/projects/samples/ooxml/e1/Whitepaper/spreadsheetml.html

It's in the bin folder of your Delphi installation, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin

From what I could see from the initial post, they have all that. This is usually due to the version of Xcode being incompatible with the version of PAServer. If the aim is to create an IPA to put on the App Store, it's not going to work since the App Store now requires Xcode 13, and 10.4.2 has a PAServer that is incompatible with Xcode 13. To produce .IPA files, I strongly recommend using Delphi 11.1. There is otherwise this workaround:

That's way too vague. Did you try the demo? Bear in mind (and if you read the readme) that it depends on the Kastri library.

Your first post didn't seem to imply that there were any issues (other than it being confusing, which it is), in fact it stated: There isn't any way of "working around" the confusion - Embarcadero would need to change the way the IDE works, and/or make it clearer to the developer why it works this way
