After finishing a training and while building a new AI Consultancy , I'm looking for part-time freelance Delphi job. 

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mijn-design/

A year ago I started developing on a Macbook Pro M1 with Parallels and Windows ARM for working onsite.

It went quite well but then the IDE started to crash on opening files or projects. With a workaround I kept going,

but yesterday opening a new project (of any kind) and trying to save it the IDE crashed.

Tried opening the IDE as administrator, the DPI unaware version, etc but always the same.

The only thing that has changed are a few additional packages installed.

Any help appreciated!

Regards

Michael 

Sure, I'm interested, eMail: sw.architect@icloud.com

Sorry for late reply, I'm recovering from a fairly heavy illness.

I have a LinkedIn Profile, but is not uptodate as all contacts up to now just wanted to sell services or were looking for a job,

never got anything interesting.

But I will work and update it this week and then post the info here.

Thanks.

Since a multi-year project  was canceled at short notice without any reason given, I have free capacities.

- Modernization of programs, architecture design, frameworks, components etc.
- Consulting, Training on the Job
- Analysis & Code Reviews

- >35 years of software development 
- Delphi 11.3 (since Delphi 1), C++ Builder
- RemObjects, TMS ALL Access, DevExpress, Devart UniDac, TsiLang, Fast Report, Report Builder, CodeSite etc.
- iOS App development (own architecture)

I can also work on a daily or weekly basis or provide assistance via Teamviewer in urgent cases.

I will send my profile on request: sw.architect@icloud.com 

Thank you, 
kind regards

Hello,

spent many hours trying to setup a working env for Delphi 11.2 and MongoDB.

Delphi 11.2 can only run (dockerized) MongoDB up to version 5.0 due to driver limitations in Delphi 11.2.

Trying to run the samples I get some error like "auth mechanism SCRAM-SHA-1 not supported".

Before ditching Delphi for Elixir or else, has anyone  some hints for a working setup with MongoDB, Delphi and FireDAC?

Thanks in advance for reading!

Another contract ceased, so I am again looking for new remote projects (full or part time).

Delphi is my main development tool for 25 years besides C++ and few other languages.

Did some cross-platform development for iOS.

Just tried it, but after removing the LSP patches the GetIt Deinstallation dialog stays open and nothing

happens - waited for 30 min and then killed the task.

Any idea ?

My current contract will cease around turn of the year, so I am looking for a new remote project (full or part time)

included development of an iPad App Order App for internal use only by nearly a hundred franchise companies.

Final results:

1. Navigator/Bookmarks each installs TParnassusCoreEditor which is not de-installed by any routine and has to be manually removed plus all associated registry entries

2. FMXLinux is not cleanly removed, thows an error

3. Individual Desktop settings are causing problems and throw exceptions. Only removing the "* Layout.dst" files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0 helped.

4.  Finally all settings for Win64 platform are gone 

IMHO such possible errors should have been detected by Q&A before a release and not by paying customers.

@Dany MarmurThanks for the feedback. Just started another try but removed some Paranassus stuff manually, still got an error but just "File not found ..." but no exception anymore.

Now I am waiting for the installation to finish.

Edit 1: Better, but still broken

Edit 2: Navigator is one source of problems, as along with its installation also TParnassusCoreEditor is installed but never removed, neither if deinstalled

          from GetIt nor from the 10.4.1 update GetIt deinstalltion routine. (FMXLinux is also not cleanly uninstalled)

          Next try: Removed manually all Parnassus* entries from regestry, installation went through but all Desktop settings cause exceptions.

Edit 3: Another try with everything removed, which could influence the update, still fails with exceptions and all desktop setups lost

Tried a few times and variations, but installations fails with the following error on 2 different systems

Trying to debug some apps  I get the following error when trying to start the app in debug mode

Searched the internet up and down, but only found old stuff related to Delphi 2006 and a problem with Windows .NET libraries.

I am lost, any idea ? Thanks for reading!

Since the first release of Firemonkey till now I never had to change anything in the Xcode preferences, just keep my certificates current and the provisioning

and XCode and everything and the SDK in RAD-Studio uptodate as well.

Searched already XCode preferences and project settings up and down, but have to admit I have no idea which may have to be changed.

Yes, I had to renew all certificates anyway

Tried to upload a new version of our  firemonkey business app which is already in TestFlight for 6 months (compiled with iOS SDK 12.4) now updated to latest Xcode 11.2.1 and SDK 13 but get these warning / error

WARNING ITMS-90703: "Deprecated Xcode Build. Due to resolved app archives issues, we have deprecated Xcode 11.2 on November 5, 2019. Download Xcode 11.2.1 or newer, rebuild your app and resubmit."

ERROR ITMS-90534: "Invalid Toolchain. Your app was built with an unsupported SDK or version of Xcode. If you plan to submit this build to the App Store, make sure you are using the versions listed in https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/devf16aefe3b or later."

Any idea  or help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Michael

Edit: Back to SDK 12.4 everything went as expected and the app is ready for review.

I installed a few RAD-Studio versions with this hardware configuration. The older installers complained if on D was not enough space

and some 30 GB on C were always enough for installation from ISO of 10.1.x, 10.2.x, 10.3.0 which are all installed on this system.

Still no luck installing 10.3.1

- saved settings with Migration Tool

- uninstalled

- enough space of > 40 GB on drive D

- started installer with installation on drive D

- Installer quits with failure "Not enough space for installation"

@Kryvich  As I mentioned I just get die option to update. Never get the dialog asking about uninstalling. Trying to uninstall with 10.3.1 installer it throws exception after exception, finally freezes and I have to kill it via task manager.

1 hour ago, Kryvich said:

@mijn Same here. But I saved IDE settings before updating using Migration tool. So I still hope to install Delphi 10.3.1 without reinstalling all components.

 

P.S. I uninstalled Delphi 10.3 and installed Delphi 10.3.1. All components are here. Only IDE Fix Pack had to be reinstalled.

How did you uninstall without loosing registry settings ?

Running update from ISO (never use Webinstall)

- no query for uninstalling current version

- update runs and finishes "successfull"

- unable to start Delphi anymore as bds.exe is missing

- free space on hard disk + 20 GB although there still seems to be an installation (but size of directory ~5 GB only)

- trying to deinstall before leads to errors from installer which then freezes on cancel

- trying second run of update does not change anything

Any idea ? Thanks !

Edit: Should add that RAD-Studio is installed on D: not on C:
