I think your last statement here: "We've spent today testing Fork and GitKraken and landed on GitKraken Pro due to the issue tracker integrations and built in GitFlow support - which really simplify doing proper branching for features, fixes and releases. "

I managed to do it. Some information here:

We changed the border to be more grey (right image) and it was accepted as transparent (unplated) for MSIX installations. For non MSIX install the left icon is transparent.

@Keesver I used appinstaller and updates are working well (installing and updates without admin elevation) but I didn't managed to show transparent icon on taskbar. I posted in other thread what I was doing if you have some suggestions:

Strange... if I change the 44x44 logo to have more black, it will show transparent in taskbar. I discovered this accidentally trying do alter the image to be sure it's the right one. A little black will not suffice. Something more than 1/3.

@Rafael Dipold have you done something different than in that article? It isn't working for me. I didn't used Delphi IDE because it's calling makeappx.exe with /f (mapping file) and I used /d (content directory) I have the same file with two names in Assets: Logo44x44.png and Logo44x44.targetsize-44_altform-unplated.png The Root folder is every time new created and filled with all necessary files then: C:\Delphi\WA15\WinArhi\!Executabil Showroom\UWP\Root>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\makepri.exe" createconfig /cf priconfig.xml /dq en-US 'Platform (pv)' not specified.

because this i said "Just compiling is not an issue". If you have all the pieces.... He asked about compiling. Producing an app for Mac is an other thing.

Just tried on Delphi 10.1 and building for iOS Device works without a Mac. I suppose building for Mac or in newer Delphi versions also works. Deploy does not work because there you need XCode.

Just compiling is not an issue because it doesn't need a Mac. Getting SDKs, debugging, signing, running can be but I don't know what from this is not working,

From docwiki: "macOS Ventura support require RAD Studio 11.3" https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/PlatformStatus/en/Main_Page#cite_note-11.3-1

Custom Styles? They are so slow now.

But all the time you need to have in mind that Queue will execute code later and avoid using in that code some objects or whatever if there is a chance they will not be there when the code executes.

I use this construct and this will go well with any exceptions but there is a weakness if the library will not set InTransaction how it should. try StartTransaction; .... Commit; finally if InTransaction then Rollback; end;

Windows 11 in VM, scaling 125%, DPI Unaware, but positions are a little other. I have this space marked with yellow.

Tried with 125% scaling but can not reproduce either.

I can't reproduce but I didn't touched the default positions. Scaling 150%, DPI Unaware, Light theme. PS. Now I see that issues are only with monitor scaling between 124% and 130%.....

More than 10% from 12500 installations in last year are Windows 7 and 8

But this doesn't work for Windows 7 from what I understand. We used Chrome approach for this and avoided elevation to write in 'Program files'. Elevation is necessary only first time at installation when we create a task in scheduler on the SYSTEM account. Actually two tasks: one with a day trigger and one with a trigger that can be started from our app at demand.

TBitmap.LoadFromStream() will call TStream.ReadBuffer(). Maybe TnxBlobStream.ReadBuffer() is leaking. Have you checked it?

You can return a record: TTotalCostResult = record TotalCost: Double; TotalCostWıthExp: Double; end; function GetBomCosts(ItemCode:String): TTotalCostResult;

What about VCL form designer? There are not things too small?

Then you need to statically link SQLite code in your executable. UniDAC can do this if you set Direct=True. @SwiftExpat does FireDAC is doing the same?

Just tried in latest VMware 16 Workstation and my Win 11 VM with Delphi works on other machine. No workarounds. TPM installed and VM password encrypted.

That means that without Windows SDK, Delphi is working but you can't build MSIX packages. Or there are also other downsides?

This doesn't affect my workflow so I will not report this issue in quality portal. You can either report it or you will have to live with it.
