Yes with fingers, that might be another challenge. I hope to have some testing time over the week-end and let you know

Someone posted this example in the German Praxis forum, and it seems to work. I didn't try it yet on mobile devices though. ListViewItemDrag.zip

Thanks both. I'll try the demo and your code Serge. Hopefully works as expected... I'll post the results back

After I upgrade iOS I have many 3rd party apps that won't launch with the same error message. Each time I say "Oh no! I need them!". I uninstall them and re-install them and they just plain work without anything done differently.

Hi, I'd like to test drive Interbase ToGo for perf compared to my current SQLite DB on mobile apps. In real world. Does anybody know of any free tool that can convert to and from Interbase <--> SQLite? I have TMS Data Modeler, but it doesn't transfer data. Any clue would be welcome. Thanks to all Steve

Yes I found that XCode being upgraded from the AppStore is sometimes, not always, a pain, taking hours to finalize the latest 2%. But it always eventually fully upgraded. Now it's unknown why it takes so much time, not being related to a relatively quick download, it's really the upgrade process that seems screwed.

It looks like it's working now to install... they probably solved the license problem on their side. Just launched it and it went through without problems. I'm not presented with the platform selection install dialog box. Good!!!

ha ha, no! Let's blame this on me alone 🙂

Borland is not dead!!! In a lot of people's own History anyway. I owe Borland (and Ph Kahn) my entire career https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stephane-jordi_tiltsoft-blog-about-life-technology-development-activity-6738446778732949504-OT18

Worse for me. The 11 version IS listed but to no help. Remove it, blank, add it. Says ok. But then complains about needing a valid license (copy/pasted from the My Embercadero portal, so no typo)

Same for me. I have a clean Windows install, no previous version installed. No license file (.slip files) anywhere on the disk. The license portal shows Rad Studio 11 Enterprise as Active and Registered. No way to install it. Always telling me I need a valid license. The Advanced > Update, Remove, Add again options have no effect besides making me lose my time (in any order or sequence). I mean... c'mon, just handed 2'200USD to upgrade and can't install.

Hi all, I need my app to be able to receive docs sent from other apps on mobile devices. I guess that you have to use the Share option on any 3rd party app and then send it to my Delphi app... In a way, it's a manner of replacing drag&drop from the desktop. Anybody knows whether there are documented guidelines on how to send documents to a Delphi app on mobile devices? The share mechanism (I guess) has to be able to list my app as a recipient. How do we make 1- the Delphi app available as a recipient (seen as such by other apps) 2-how do we trigger (react) when the Delphi app receives the document? Thanks for any guidance if you already tinkered with such approach! 🙂 Steve

Thanks it looks like this is the mechanism. Got some info for iOS too https://blog.grijjy.com/2018/11/15/ios-and-macos-app-extensions-with-delphi/

I did not have that for each character but each time I was entering an editable field.

@Dave Nottage I think that I mentioned this to you when you were testing Memorizer... I doubt that we can do anything about it as it seems to be iOS core behavior.

I have that a lot too, but I face it in several 3rd party apps, not only delphi-written ones I think it's actually more on the iOS side that the problem stands. It's very intrusive and bothering. It's probably linked to handoff between Apple devices and one can't expect the iOS users to turn it off It's very unfortunate.

Mida does most of the work but a lot of controls won't migrate. But at least you will have a pretty good skeleton which keeps most controls with their associated names and Events, but it's far from being perfect. If you VCL forms are very complex, I think you'd better off starting from fresh with an FMX clean form: that also could be a good opportunity to re-think your forms and GUI. That's where two screens come handy: VCL on the left, FMX on the right 🙂 Now, for DBGrids, they don't exist in FMX so you should put a grid or stringgrid depending on what you display and then link it to data using LiveBindings.

Thanks, They just answered my question and plan cross-platform support very soon. This could be great news. I'll definitely give it a try.

No, as weabow said and as stated in the requirements, you need XCode and a MAC to deploy to Mac or iOS/iPadOS You can't sideload apps to Apple devices for security reasons. They need to be signed by certificates issued by Apple.

Simulator is part of XCode and works only on a Mac. You may find solution to actually have Macs as a Service, but it's pretty expensive most of the time. You can't develop and target iOS and macOS without a Mac. Everything you target to those OS are packaged and signed for you through XCode. That's why you would need Paralle or VMWare Fusion on a Mac in order to run Rad Studio in a Windows environment and be able to talk to the Mac.

Hi, Does anybody know whether a Index component exists for lists? In iOS it's sectionIndexTitlesForTableView and it adds the alphabetic index on the right of the list for quick jumping (see picture). I have been suggested to add a floating frame and build it myself, but I can foresee the problems and incompatibilities on all platforms If something already exists, I would be happy to learn about it. Thanks for any help Steve

Yes thanks, I know. That's why I ask whether there is another FMX component that does the same thing. I need this on all platforms. Steve

Ok thanks for that info. I did not formulate correctly my question. I tried it but it doesn't appear no matter where I set it to true or not. In the LiveBindings designer I used my ListView Item main field to link it to ItemHeader.Text and IntemHeader.Break. I correctly see the groups in my listview, it's fine, but no index on the right. The NativeOptions is set to Indexed = true (Grouped = true or false doesn't affect the result) [Added: It works, the ListView should be set to ControlType = Platform] But it works only on iOS. I need something that would on Windows, macOS and Android? Is there anything similar that works on all platforms? Something like what was available on the first versions of Outlook in the contact section. Thanks for your help.

Just to make sure everything is set correctly on your side. Assuming you're using 10.4.2 * PAServer on the Mac should be version 12.2.10.3 * In Delphi, if you go to Tools > Options... > Deployment > Provisioning Select Build Type iOS Device 64-bit - Development You should have something like on the picture attached If you don't, does it change anything if you switch from Auto in the Provision Profile combo box to anything else that might be there? All Entitlement files should be removed from your projet before rebuilding it. Also, if you start a totally blank app and compile it to iOS, does it work?

Looks like a certificate problem? Try to launch XCode, create an empty Swift project, save it in a temp place and compile it. Usually that brings everything you need from your developper account. Then delete all entitlement files from your Delphi project and try again? Let us know
