    MSBUILD : error E2597: ld: file not found: CoreFoundation  <== this is missing though

    In which case it seems the import has not completed. You may need to follow these steps:

    1. Delete the folder: C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\SDKs\MacOSX14.sdk
    2. Delete the SDK from the SDK Manager in Delphi
    3. On the Mac, in the ~\PAServer\scratch-dir folder, remove any folders starting with cache-dir
    4. In Delphi, re-add the SDK

    E2597 ld: warning: directory not found for option '-LC:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Imports\OSXARM64'

    That's a warning - you can ignore it.

    That seems to be more like what the real problem is. Perhaps the SDK that was imported has been removed? You should check whether this folder exists:

    C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\SDKs\MacOSX14.sdk

    Can you suggest me how much RAM for M4 Macbook should it have to Run RAD Studio 12 for developing all Platforms (iOS, Android, Mac, Linux and Windows)?

    If you just have one VM (presumably Windows, with Delphi) running at any one time, and don't run a bunch of memory hogging apps (e.g. VS Code, most of the popular browsers etc), you can get by with 16GB. I did for years, but when I started often having more than one VM running at a time (as well as VS Code etc), I shifted to a 32GB machine.

    this time with message from my new screens

    It appears the settings for the Java tab in the Android SDK settings are incorrect. Use Tools | Manage Features in the Delphi menu to ensure that the Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK 17 (it appears on the right of the Manage Features window, towards the bottom) is installed, and the Java settings look like this:

    When I debug the android app, after pressing F9, it cannot run in debug mode

    It does not enter debug mode at all, or it does not stop at breakpoints? Does the app crash perhaps, before the debugger has a chance to attach to the process?

    Don't know where the bug is in the app. 

    How does the bug manifest itself? i.e. are there any error messages? Does the app start?

    How to get the Delphi linked to it?

    If the emulator is running on the same machine as Delphi, it should appear in the list under the Target node, which is under the Android platform nodes in Project Manager in Delphi.

    the problem is I cannot run in debug mode

    What is the actual issue you are having?

    I wonder if it is possible to run RAD Studio 12 on Mac book under Virtual Machine like Parallels

    I use Parallels on a Mac M1 to run a Windows ARM VM, and Delphi works very well on it. I expect an M4 would be even better.

    <date 
    android:host="pay-response" 
    android:scheme="retornopagamento/return_scheme" /> 

    No such element as "date" here - it should be: data. Is this a typo or what you actually have in your manifest?

    I have an application A that calls an application B with intent implicitly:

    Are both of these your apps, or is application B a third-party app? I'm assuming the latter, since you do not appear to have included any code for it, and your example still is not complete enough to determine what the problem is. Regardless, I suggest you use a logcat viewer to determine exactly why app A is "restarting"

    I'm planning on updating it, as well as look at those methods you mentioned.

    OK, so after a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth, I've come up with something more simplified - hopefully as much as possible. The attached code is just for iOS, however hopefully it meets these basic requirements:

    • Requests permissions that allow creation of an album that can be accessed by the app
    • If permissions are too limited, or denied, prompts the user to change the app settings, which is the only way to make subsequent changes if the permissions are not granted.
    • If the prompt is declined, a value is set in the user defaults, so that the user is not prompted again. If they wanted to grant access again later, either this would need to be coded in the app, or they would need to do a manual change
    • Once permissions are granted, the Create/Find Album button becomes enabled, and clicking that either locates the existing album, or fires off a change request to add the album
    • Once the album has been created or found, the Save Image button becomes enabled. Tapping it fires off a request to save the image in the TImage component to the album

    Notes: 

     

    The attached demo does not have any dependencies other than what comes with Delphi, and the units provided with it.

    It contains a "re-import" of the Photos framework with the newer classes, methods etc.
    It assumes that the device has iOS 14+, so the code would need to be modified to support older versions

    Feel free to ask about whatever I may have missed 🙂

     

    The plan is to eventually update Kastri with the new import, and include some of the code in the demo as well.

    On iOS 14+ we finally have ways to request and check write-only access to the photo library via authorizationStatusForAccessLevel and requestAuthorizationForAccessLevel. These are missing from Kastri but are trivial to import, except for requestAuthorizationForAccessLevel

    Thanks for the heads up. As you might gather, that import has not been updated to include newer APIs in a while. I'm planning on updating it, as well as look at those methods you mentioned.

    Patch Macapi.ObjectiveC.pas to force a custom encoding for our signature:

    If you indeed needed to do this, an issue should be filed in the Quality Portal. Kudos for working that one out - it had me stumped.

    Given the above limitation a best approach would be using the PHPhotoLibrary framework, as this allows to ask permission and check its status if previously denied, but such framework it is not implemented in Delphi by default.

    In which case, you may be interested in this demo which uses an implementation of the PHPhotoLibrary framework. I had been considering creating a kind of "lite" version just for saving images to a nominated collection, because the entire implementation might be considered "overkill" when that's all that is being used.

    I need to implement an alarm (ios and android) that rings at different times of the day. Is it possible to do it with the Kastri library by Dave Nottage?

    Probably best to schedule local notifications and associate them with a sound (that lasts for 10 seconds). There's documentation about it here. Note: Notification sounds on Android (since version 6) are associated with a channel, rather than a notification. 

     

    The trick of course is that you would need to schedule the notifications a fair way in advance, in case the user does not open the app for some time.

     

    I doubt there's any other way of reliably firing off an alarm at exact times - Android and iOS have made that kind of thing increasingly difficult to implement. I'm happy to be proven wrong 🙂

    I’ve logged a QP issue for this but wonder if anyone could suggest any other workarounds or options?

    I've added a comment to the report, however I'm repeating it here:

    It appears the UIPanGestureRecognizer being used in the parent "native" implementation (TiOSScrollBox) is interfering with the scrolling - I'm yet to find exactly why. Making a copy of FMX.ScrollBox.iOS and commenting out this line: 

    View.addGestureRecognizer(FPanRecognizer);

    seems to fix it, but I expect any pan gestures supported by Delphi will be lost, and this would also apply to TStringGrid, for example.
