Ok, I'll try this out.

Thanks Sriram.

Hi, I'm looking to get a macbook pro (M1) and run Windows under Parallels to develop using the Delphi IDE. Not sure Windows/Parallels is fully ready for the M1 macbook. But I was wondering if any developer has tried this OR if there's anyone from Embarcadero looking into this ... to make sure it'll work. Any info would be appreciated. Joe

Hi, I'm looking to use InApp purchase in an iOS and Android app created with Delphi. According to ChatGPT, the code below will work and also work with for a subscription based purchase. IS THIS CORRECT? uses FMX.InAppPurchase; var InAppPurchase: TInAppPurchase; ProductIdentifier: string; begin InAppPurchase := TInAppPurchase.Create; try // Set up the product identifier for the consumable IAP ProductIdentifier := 'com.yourcompany.yourproduct.consumable'; // <-- if subscription, 'com.yourcompany.yourproduct.subscription'; // Request product information from the App Store InAppPurchase.RequestProductInfo(ProductIdentifier); // Wait for the product information to be returned while not InAppPurchase.ProductInfoReceived do begin Application.ProcessMessages; Sleep(100); end; // Check if the product is valid and available for purchase if InAppPurchase.ProductValid then begin // Show the purchase dialog to the user InAppPurchase.PurchaseProduct(ProductIdentifier); // Wait for the purchase to complete while not InAppPurchase.PurchaseComplete do begin Application.ProcessMessages; Sleep(100); end; // Check if the purchase was successful if InAppPurchase.PurchaseSuccess then begin // Grant the user access to the purchased content // or Add the item to the user inventory or do whatever you want after the purchase end else ShowMessage('Purchase failed'); end else ShowMessage('Product not available'); finally InAppPurchase.Free; end; end; Joe

Was In-App Subscriptions (weekly, monthly, yearly) something that was added recently? I don't know why, but I remember Subscriptions not being supported. Just consumables purchases and non-consumable purchases.

Thanks for the links. Does the current version Delphi 11.2 support In-App Subscriptions on iOS?

Hi, What resolution do we need to have in the Launch Image 2x and 3x? Joe

very useful .. thanks!

Hi, I remember something in the most recent versions of Delphi, that we can enable iOS mobile app to also include the top statusbar on iPhone ... make it same color like form. Do we need to set a global var in project source file? If so, what is it? I totally forgot. Thanks, Joe

Thank you ... I was looking in the wrong place!

I'm also looking to use Firebase push notification for iOS (and Android). Is there a good starting point documentation somewhere?

Hi, Using Delphi 11.2. Installed Radiant Shapes from GetIt. Clicking on a class type (ex: TRadiantShape) in code does NOT bring me to the source. So I put the source location in the Browsing Path. Still doesn't work. I could put the location in the Library Path but then it will compile the units every time. Isn't the Browsing Path used for jumping into source via editor when the library path has the *.dcu file location? This way compiles faster because using DCUs and still can look at source because in Browsing Path. Is this a 11.2 bug? Joe

Hi, When compiling/deploying to iPhone, Delphi freezes at the step when deploying *.dSYM file. How do I fix this? Delphi 11.1 (Version 28.0.44500.8973) Xcode: 13.4.1 macOS: 12.2.1 PAServer: 13.1.11.0 sdk: iOS 15.5 device: iOS 15.5

I removed all iOS SDKs, then added iOS 15.5. (still couldn't deploy). Then updated windows 11 ARM ... finally worked!

Hi, I'm writing a stored procedure to get a list of records AND replace some of those records with other records IF they have an "override" - which is indicated by other columns. When I use the stored procedure it correctly REMOVES the record that has an override BUT does not replace it with its override record. This indicates that I'm not writing the correct code to get new record and then Suspend to return that record. Below is my stored procedure .... Does anybody see the problem? Joe ALTER PROCEDURE OVERRIDE_LIST RETURNS ( ID NUMERIC(18, 0), DBID INTEGER, TABLENAME VARCHAR(15), DIMNAME VARCHAR(20), DIMVALUE VARCHAR(30), RECNO INTEGER, DATA BLOB SUB_TYPE 0 SEGMENT SIZE 1024, TEXT BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT SEGMENT SIZE 80, REFID NUMERIC(18, 0), ISROOT BOOLEAN ) AS declare variable I NUMERIC(18, 0); declare variable R NUMERIC(18, 0); begin For select ID, DBID, TABLENAME, DIMNAME, DIMVALUE, RECNO, DATA, TEXT, REFID, ISROOT From DN into :ID, :DBID, :TABLENAME, :DIMNAME, :DIMVALUE, :RECNO, :DATA, :TEXT, :REFID, :ISROOT Do begin i = :ID; R = 0; execute procedure Override :i Returning_Values :R; if (:R is not null) then begin for select ID, DBID, TABLENAME, DIMNAME, DIMVALUE, RECNO, DATA, TEXT, REFID, ISROOT From DN where ID = :R into :ID, :DBID, :TABLENAME, :DIMNAME, :DIMVALUE, :RECNO, :DATA, :TEXT, :REFID, :ISROOT do Suspend; end else Suspend; end end^

My mistake. I was using the Stored Proc with a where clause which was NOT including the replaced records. Ignore.

Things were working before. I think there was an update for Xcode to install command line tools and also I updated to the latest 11.1 patch which required a re-install of PAServer. The connection to PAServer is fine. Don't know what this error is: [PAClient Error] Error: E6664 xcode-select: error: tool 'actool' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

macOS 12.2.1 Xcode 13.2.1

Ok It runs and does deploy AFTER using your "sudo code-select --switch ..." But this error shows up: (Ignore the red line)

Hi, Installed AWS SDK (Appercept) via GetIt. I see the help topics on the left but no help content on the right. Anyone know why? Joe

Could not open the HELP file in Windows 11 ARM, running in Parallels. Copied the file to a Windows 7 computer and the help file opens.

Hi, In terms of performance: Has anyone tested Interbase with encryption (at rest and in motion) vs no encryption? Even rough comparisons would be useful. Just looking for any data describing relative performance. Thanks, Joe

Hi, I need to add a license to Delphi. But the computer does not have access to the licensing server via the internet because it has restricted internet access (corporate environment). Can I register the license on some website, then get some file and copy it to that machine? Thanks, Joe

Since a *.dcp has the compiled units of a package, is it possible to have only the *.dcp and be able to compile a project that uses the units of that package? (without DCUs or PAS files) curious When is the DCP file used?

Ok. Thanks. I noticed that some packages are installed without any components. And they are not used by other packages. Example: AWS SDK (from GetIt). In a case like AWS SDK, the package doesn't need to be installed, right? If compiling without runtime packages, we are accessing DCUs or PAS files. In the case of compiling with runtime packages, we simply need access to the bpl/dcp files. Why are those packages installed?
