Allen@Grijjy

Thanks to Chris then! I wonder if we could unbundle the package during the pre-link stage and copy over the original .appex over the top of the Delphi ones after Delphi completes it's codesign step and then rebundle it before it's deployed? I imagine you already tried that though... have to give this some thought.

Thanks, I have been racking by brain about this. I wrote an article on how to do it back in 2018 for Grijjy but couldn't get any of it to work with Delphi 12 again. I tried just about everything so I appreciate the insight!

Did you ever figure anything out with this issue? I am exploring something similar and wondering if I should test an old Delphi version to see if it works.

If I use that command line, I always get '0' source lines. Here is the output for the following: -v -pause -bind:C:\Users\Allen\Desktop\Test1.exe C:\Users\Allen\Desktop\Test1.map -include:0001 ----> map2pdb - Copyright (c) 2021 Anders Melander Version 3.0.1 Constructed a new PDB GUID: {33C40D0A-BC13-43D4-A6E3-D7D23966F480} Output filename not specified.

First I get all the sources lines, but before I did not. Also I get a Range Check Error (at the bottom). I am really using the syntax correctly? I guess I don't understand the benefit of generating a PDB without line information? I am willing to send the .map file I am using for you to examine if there is a private means of doing so. I don't want to share it publicly. I grabbed to PE information for it. It does seem quite different from Delphi's output: Start Length Name Class 0001:0000000000401000 006CD7B8H .text CODE 0002:0000000000ACF000 000A9208H .data DATA 0003:0000000000B79000 00011F20H .bss BSS 0004:0000000000400000 00008260H .tls TLS 0005:0000000000BDE000 0004FF5CH .pdata PDATA I totally agree. If you have a QC report with Embarcadero I would be happy to vote for it and escalate it. I really would like to see if we could get to the bottom of these things because it's an important capability and I would live to share it with the wider audience. Happy to help in any way on this.

This is where I am confused (and I have read all the existing documentation). You recommend configuring a tool in Delphi with these parameters: -debug -v -pause -bind:$EXENAME $PATH($EXENAME)$NAMEONLY($EXENAME).map -include:0001 When I do this, it will parse my map file correctly, but it won't load any source lines regardless of the segments that I include. If I I change to something like this: -v -pause -bind:$EXENAME $PATH($EXENAME)$NAMEONLY($EXENAME).map -include:0001;0003;0004 It also doesn't load any source lines. I checked this within the debugger directly. It enumerates the files correctly, it just doesn't consume them into the FSourceLines collection. Is my syntax correct or am I supposed to be doing this: -debug -v -pause -bind:$EXENAME $PATH($EXENAME)$NAMEONLY($EXENAME).map -include:0001;0002;* so I am indicating both filenames and segments to include? I would be happy to assist in any way I can. I think it's a great tool and would love to do an Embarcadero Coderage MVP session on how to use some of the industry standard profilers with your utility in the future, if that's okay. I noticed other people have encountered the same issue with consuming overlapping segments. In my case I modified the code to skip the overlapping segments instead of raising an exception and stopping. For example, Delphi emitted the map file segments as: Start Length Name Class 0001:0000000000401000 006CD7B8H .text CODE 0002:0000000000ACF000 000A9208H .data DATA 0003:0000000000B79000 00011F20H .bss BSS 0004:0000000000400000 00008260H .tls TLS 0005:0000000000BDE000 0004FF5CH .pdata PDATA TDebugInfoSegment.CheckOverlap subsequently raised an exception: Project map2pdb.exe raised exception class Exception with message 'Overlapping segments: .tls [0004:0000000000400000] and .text [0001:0000000000401000]'.

Guess we are both working on this at the same time! I had the same issue yesterday, but I figured out that -include:0001 (or whatever code segments you are analyzing) doesn't actually load the source lines. I haven't debugged it fully yet, but if I switch to -include:* (using a filename wildcard instead) it works. The main thing is to make sure that the -debug output says it loaded more than 0 lines. Also, it has some issue with overlapping segments from the map files, so I had to make a source code change to work around it, but that issue may be project specific.

I am little late to this party, but stumbled across this wonderful utility, so thank you for it! At first map2pdb didn't consume my map files without throwing some exceptions, but I made a few code changes and it works wonderfully now. I was able to use it with Intel VTune which is really nice! The issues I encountered was that it complained about 'overlapping segments' between .tls and the .data segments. It also wouldn't load source lines if I use -include:0001 or -include:0001;0002;etc.. I was able to modify the sources to exclude the .tls segment and if I changed to -include:* using a wildcard then it properly loaded all the source lines from the various segments. Anyway, thanks for this!

I always love how Apple breaks our apps with each subsequent release! There are still various internal issues with Ventura causing random floating point exceptions that crash Delphi apps that have yet to be resolved by Apple.

I am also seeing the Stop (17) error messages with the latest Linux configuration for Delphi.

The Grijjy and Lumicademy team is looking for someone special to join our development team! We are based in San Diego, CA but this is a remote position. If you have experience in WebRtc or SIP coding would be a big plus. https://vl247.careerplug.com/j/0144yx3

Our latest Grijjy article on how you could build your own Geolocation and Geotargetting in Delphi for your cloud service or backend, https://blog.grijjy.com/2022/01/04/grijjys-5th-anniversary/

Seems to be caused by remnants in the project .dsk files. If you edit them or purge them, the problem appears to go away. Do a search for "Documentation.htm" in your *.dsk files.

Same issue for me with the latest release. Someone already opened a QC report for this RSP-33590.

Sorry, missed your original post on this. I don't mind your efforts here. OpenSsl is particularly tricky because quite often it is installed with the operating system and if you use dynamic library version the imports will get confused about which library you are using, since there are 2 of them that cross-reference each other. To avoid this, I try to build the static versions which are linked directly into the project using the "dependency" keyword. Also, the Mac was particularly a pain because symbolic linking will force the dynamic library to find OpenSsl elsewhere so I merged both libraries into one to avoid that. But yes, placing all the libraries into a single path with the header unit avoids a lot of frustration for static libraries.

Did some more reading here. Apple specifically says that extensions are not allowed to launch their host application unless it's a Today widget, "A Today widget (and no other app extension type) can ask the system to open its containing app by calling the openURL:completionHandler: method of the NSExtensionContext class. " https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/ExtensionOverview.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014214-CH2-SW2 You may get rejected by Apple from the App Store for violating guidelines. That being said, I suspect from reading on StackOverflow that is exactly what some Share extensions are doing and they are in the App store. I attached an example ShareViewController.m that *may* work. Of course you will need to modify the urlString and replace https:// with abcd:// to launch the Url Protocol handler. ShareViewController.m

Additionally, from what I have read, you cannot open/run the containing application (in your case a Delphi host application) from the share extension if the app is not already running. However, you can start your application by running a Url Protocol handler to launch your Delphi app. I was planning on writing a blog article about this topic. I put together a small example of how to implement a protocol handler that works on macOS and iOS and Delphi apps. It is attached here. There is a small EventManager unit included to simplify the process. The only thing you really need to do is modify the info.plist.TemplateOSX.xml (or info.plist.TemplateiOS.xml) and specify your Url Protocol handler method. For this example I use "abcd". So if you run this example application and then open Safari and type a Url like, abcd://www.google.com then you will receive that message in your Delphi app. It will automatically run your Delphi app if it is not already running. You should modify your didSelectPost so that it takes the urlString and changes the HTTP/S method to use your Url Protocol Handler method and then executes OpenUrl() to open the Url Protocol Handler thereby sending the Url to your Delphi app even if your app is not running. - (void)didSelectPost { NSExtensionItem *item = self.extensionContext.inputItems.firstObject; NSItemProvider *itemProvider = item.attachments.firstObject; if ([itemProvider hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier:@"public.url"]) { [itemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:@"public.url" options:nil completionHandler:^(NSURL *url, NSError *error) { NSString *urlString = url.absoluteString; // Call your Delphi app here!!! }]; } } ProtocolHandler.zip

I went back a re-read your original post. Thanks for the clarification.. I think you need to place everything inside of "didSelectPost". Warning! I have not tested this example: - (void)didSelectPost { NSExtensionItem *item = self.extensionContext.inputItems.firstObject; NSItemProvider *itemProvider = item.attachments.firstObject; if ([itemProvider hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier:@"public.url"]) { [itemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:@"public.url" options:nil completionHandler:^(NSURL *url, NSError *error) { NSString *urlString = url.absoluteString; // Call your Delphi app here!!! // Share access to an NSUserDefaults object NSUserDefaults *sharedSettings = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName: AppGroupName]; // Set shared object key/value [[NSUserDefaults sharedSettings] setObject:urlString forKey:@"TheUrlString"]; // Synchronize [sharedSettings synchronize]; }]; } } Replace TheUrlString with the key you are using for GetObject on the Delphi app side. Also you could skip the constant for AppGroupName and instead write the line like: NSUserDefaults *sharedSettings = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName: @"group.it.diesys.yadiesys"];

I sent you an email with some example attachments separately.... In regards to your questions: My app must listen to receive links (both closed and open) and it is not necessary to send anything to the extension. Does this mean your app must open/run if it’s not running when the extension needs it? To do this I have to enter this code but it is not clear where. In the OnCreate of the main form? You can do it anywhere in code. I think this part is used to send data to the Share Extension and therefore in my case it should not be necessary, right? Yes, if you only want to receive from the share extension it is not required. From your description of your requirements you need to translate the example from Delphi into Objective C and put that into your plugin in XCode. Should the synchronize be called every time something is sent? Yes How does the app know when a link is sent to it? and how can I extract it? The app should poll using something like a TTimer. It needs to call synchronize to make sure it has an updated copy of the data during the polling. Where should I insert this code? NSString *const AppGroupName = @" group.it.diesys.yadiesys'"; The constant is at the top of your plugin code directly after @implementation. This shouldn't be necessary because my Extension just has to send, right? Correct. You need to do something like we show in Delphi, but in Objective-C inside of XCode in your plugin. That should look something like this: // Create and share access to an NSUserDefaults object NSUserDefaults *sharedSettings = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName: AppGroupName]; // Set shared object key/value [[NSUserDefaults sharedSettings] setObject:somevalue forKey:@"somekey"]; // Synchronize [sharedSettings synchronize]; Where should I insert this code? Now what I have to do is send the Link, how do I capture and send it? I have never made this type of app extension, so I am not sure where you place the code on XCode side until I know what extension you are making. Each app extension works differently. Are you making a “share” extension for Safari? Are you trying to capture all urls from Safari into your app? Could you explain what you are doing a little bit better? If you could clarify I might be able to advise you where to capture what you want to capture. I have never made this type of extension so I don’t know if what you want to do is possible. Apple has all sorts of weird rules and restrictions on grabbing data from other apps.

Hello Massimillano, I sent you an email this morning but it said you were "out of the office". The article shows how to use XPC to exchange the information with your extension. All the code required to do that is included in the blog article, it's not much. The strange part is you have to create an "Application group" in the Apple developer portal and then add it to your info.plist in order to use XPC (inter-process communication between the app and the extension) Let me know if you have any questions

Latest article on how to use the latest version of OpenSsl 1.1.1 with Delphi directly to create X.509 certificates, decode, verify, encode and sign JSON Web Tokens and generate random data. Additionally we will do this in a way that works on Delphi supported platforms including Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux as well as all current compiler targets for 32 and 64-bit devices. https://blog.grijjy.com/2020/08/04/using-openssl-1-1-1-with-all-delphi-target-platforms/

I am very happy that FastMM5 is now available and also with the new licensing scheme. We plan to use it in our heavily threaded 64-bit http/socket servers. While I wouldn't have used it at all if it was GPL only, having a commercial offering at a reasonable price is actually more preferable because I like the idea of a properly maintained memory manager for our commercial products. There are plenty of free memory managers around for Delphi, that are barely maintained.

I tried it both inside the debugger and outside the debugger with 10.3 with Win32 on Windows 7. At first it didn't work at all, as you described. Then it suddenly started working after I tried solution #1 in this article, https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Install-Failure-Error-997-Overlapped-I-O-operation-is-in-progress.html Now I am not so sure why it started working and I cannot stop it from working, go figure. Since I know you are skeptic of actually running and testing on Win7, I attached a screenshot.

Worked for me with 10.3 on Win32.

I think an incorrectly spelled name like autorization would qualify as an invalid header name. Also, just because you have an access token or refresh token, doesn't mean you made a request using an authorization header yet, as those required for bearer tokens. It is very common to use query parameters as part of a URI path to obtain the access and refresh token on OAuth implementations.

You spelled authorization wrong and it won't work otherwise.
