Wondering if others have trouble with the iOS simulator. A blank application crashes on startup, works fine on device

What kind of Mac do you have? i.e. is it an M1 or M2, or an Intel-based Mac?

It is a M2, changed to this last year so that I could use the simulator, worked well with 11.3 not sure if I had tried with 12.0

Dave,

Could you please let me know if it works on your end.

Thanks

Hi everybody,

I encountered the same problem, opened case with embarcadero support that tell me the solution.

In iOS 17.4 Simultator, Apple remote OpenGL support, so we must use Metal.

 

In View Source of the project add as first line

 

begin

GlobalUseMetal := True;

...

 

Also they told

Quote

Right now, this line is not necessary on physical devices, but I expect it will become necessary in the future, so we will look at using Metal as the default in future releases.
