iOS betas hardly change dramatically over the time. By the way, final release is in like 8 weeks. Having a development tool that is now unable to produce working executables, that is worrying, and not wasted time.

Just saying: Your source is just a copy from @Remy Lebeau's original post on https://stackoverflow.com/a/37949303

That's Microsoft, just casually leaving OutputDebugStr-calls in their release builds. Nothing new here 😑 If you don't use the debug output, you can disable these messages showing up in the IDE. If you do, you will have to get used to your messages being buried under a heap of garbabe.

of course, I still haven't created the promised follow-up ticket 😓

I made it so that it works both with and without the T as it's more readable without it. [Test] [TestCase('Date, space, time', '1988-10-21 17:44:23.456')] [TestCase('Date, T, time', '1988-10-21T17:44:23.456')] [TestCase('Date, T, time, Z', '1988-10-21T17:44:23.456Z')] [TestCase('Date, T, time, offset (1)', '1988-10-21T17:44:23.456+02:30')] [TestCase('Date, T, time, offset (2)', '1988-10-21T17:44:23.456+0230')] procedure TestDateTimeArgument(dateTime: TDateTime); https://github.com/VSoftTechnologies/DUnitX/blob/c348ea5010822368975c0f10aa1d16969c6ba6bd/Tests/DUnitX.Tests.Example.pas#L68-L74

At least more than three🙄. Judging by the readme file, it is newer than September 2016, but as you noticed, older than June 2020 when my change was added.

I contributed ISO8601-compliant DateTime parsing to DUnitX: VSoftTechnologies/DUnitX: Delphi Unit Test Framework (github.com) I'd recommend using ISO8601 so that it doesn't depend on the build machine's locale.

The maximum size TBits can be before bugging out is Integer.MaxValue - 31. That's roughly 256 Megabytes of consecutive boolean storage spage. You really need that much?

I tried. I really did. And then gave up and did it in C++ with the free and widely used open62541 library. I tried using the dlls in Delphi, but always had access violations. The delphi translated headers were correct. Fun fact: I am not the only one who tried and failed. Another Delphi-Praxis member, completely independent of me, also tried, failed and then just did it in .NET. Fehler mit externer DLL, Callback-Funktionen. - Delphi-PRAXiS (delphipraxis.net) [German language] Delphi Externen Prozess starten und beenden - Delphi-PRAXiS (delphipraxis.net) [German language] For me, that was now two years ago and our opc ua server has seen many extensions and is working well. I implemented it as a seperate standalone console application that talks with delphi application via http/rest. I find it very comfortable and easy to debug. A coworker just added a simple opc ua server to his project in Python within an extremely short time. tl;dr: Having a shared interface between Delphi and another binary really was the least challening part for us. I think actually understanding what OPC UA is and what it can do was much harder.

It was said it's either argc == 0 argc >= 1, with argc[0] being the first parameter, not the program name/path, as expected I agree that it's more than odd and against everything else I've seen. For sure, nobody enforces it, and you can even omit the program name yourself by using things like CreateProcess(..). However, ISO/IEC 9899 is pretty clear on that: PS: It's probably a regression by this bugfix which was closed in April: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-41397 https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-41179

For my personal machine, I went back to Monterey after trying out Ventura for a week or two. I had terrible problems with Exchange not syncing properly. Not sure if that got fixed properly. Ventura had some nice features I would have liked to use, but the Exchange problem (and I think some problem with scanning/printing) made me roll back. Still looking forward to the next version though 🙂

Reading barcodes is not the same as optical character recognition. I suppose what OP is searching for is to use something like tesseract from Delphi.

Please elaborate on how you open your updater application (source code), because that's important.

I'm sure getting an mp3 onto your iPhone is not going to be the challenge. I mostly see people using their email or their favourite instant messenger to send themselves a file they want to access from another device while Airdrop also seems to be common, at least for Apple people. Here are three other ways I would do it Copy the file(s) to my computers desktop, because my desktop is synced with iCloud and and always accessible from my phone. Doesn't have to be iCloud, works with OneDrive, Dropbox and whatever is out there. Granted, that hardly applies to everybody because not everybody uses cloud file storage. I can just copy the file on my computer, and then just select paste on my phone. That probably doesn't work with Windows computers, though. I just right-click the file, share, Airdrop and then select my phone. Only works for Apple. By the way, this is how my mom always does it 🙂 I dare to say that making a file accessible to a mobile device from a computer is more or less common, even for non tech-savvy people. Understanding how to "upload" or "post" the file to a web application is trickier, because this is not so common. I believe most people are probably familiar with the image picker that is native to the OS, but not so much with the file picker. Also, it's possible your users already forgot the location they just saved the file to, and are now lost. Basically, your phone app does exactly the same as you had planned for a computer. It's just that people that are only accustomed to a phone probably hardly use the file system.

I don't know how Android does it, but with iOS this is soon going to change. I think web apps, just like on a computer, will be able to register as "first class" cititzens and hopefully also be able to have files shared to it. That's just what I heard, haven't properly fact-checked it. Even if not, for uploading, you should always be able to offer a regular file-picker and then copy the file to your server (which then invokes questions about copyrighted material). I am not sure if PWAs can copy files from a picker to its internal cache and then permanently store it there - I have almost no experience with pure web apps, sorry. Again, not sure about Android, but I rummage through my files all the time. I fill out tables, I extend text documents, share them by email. iOS has a pretty elaborate file interface, I even can just upload a local file to a remote server via SFTP or a regular network share. I think not many people do (especially the "younger" ones) and they "live" entirely within an app, but it's absolutely possible and not even inconvenient. Yes, it's bizarre. It's especially bad for things like home automation (vacuum robots, coffee machines, ...). They often don't have an open API, and you will have to use the vendors app and use it. No web browser, no public API.

[RSP-15829] Allow to specify exception types to ignore per project - Embarcadero Technologies

The reason I subscribed to Apple Music is because it was the only one which lets me upload and stream my very own MP3 files, even to devices like an Alexa speaker or a random office computer through a web browser. I think Amazon used to offer this as well, but removed it a few years ago. But I'd agree that most people probably don't care and are happy with what a catalogue offers. There is one thing I don't quite understand: I am not sure that's true. For sure web apps can upload local files as well? Regarding your question how you can offer your users this experience, I have seen Apps offering integration of popular services like Spotify or Apple Music and just stream in the tracks or entire playlists from there Feeding local audio files (like mp3) into the application which stores it locally, for example by registering the app as a "Share with" target or displaying a file picker which will then copy the file to its local storage.

You wouldn't believe how much I crave for them to store the "ignore the following exception types" locally, and at project level.

In the Windows registry at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\xx.y\History Lists\hlRunParameters where xx.y is the RAD Studio version(s) you are using

Yes, we do. Nothing has changed. You still have two options: Set IE emulation to something newer than 2006 Use an alternative from this decade (like the chromium-based WebView2 engine)

Well, does it? To me, it sounds like the compiler is doing some optimization, and you're confused by what the debugger is temporarily showing, while stepping through the loop.

But that is not a full project. Maybe the full project had something like a fancy graphic/charting library? Some other kind of 3rd party dependency? That is what I'm trying to say. If you are working on a stand-alone project, you will need to find out what is changing this inside your application. If you are working on a library, you will either have to make sure that your code is always operating with the FPU mask it was designed for. Or, if that is not an option (FPU mask modification is a costly operation), then make it very clear in the documentation that the caller is responsible. I have never heard that Windows sets the FPU mask differently for processes. However, I haven't been able to find much about it. I'd expect the Delphi RTL to set it at startup, but I haven't checked if it does.

Sorry to be so persistent, but is it really that exact same project that you posted, which reports differently at some of your clients machines? Or just your "real" project? I've had the FPU mask getting changed behind my back by 3rd party dependencies like printer drivers or ActiveX plugins running in the TWebBrowser. But in your example, there should be no third party code at all.

Embarcaderos documentation calls it a „folder to be used for the cache“ and I think that is misleading. You might want to read Microsofts documentation, which is pretty well-written and starts here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/user-data-folder Also of interest: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/blob/main/specs/ClearBrowsingData.md

Maybe the heat is killing me, but I can't follow how some GUI elements (Labels, Checkboxes) go together with booleans, tags and "round type"s. Are you looking for recommendations of how to display this tournament process on screen? Do you want to know how to best store matches in a relational database? I have no idea. You probably have some written requirements, like a formal document or user stories. This should then enable you to figure out how your data works inside your application.
