Adding a new SDK for MacOS fails

[pyscripter 689]

I am new to MacOS developement.   I have added an new Connection Profile which test successfully, the PAServer is running, XCode has the command line tools,

 

 

When I try to add a new SDK nothing happens.

What am I missing?  Any help?

Your moniker says you're using Delphi 10.2 Tokyo. Is that still the case?

 

Adding macOS 10.15.4 SDK works OK for me using 10.3.3. If you are using 10.3.3, it might be useful to turn on verbose mode in PAServer (v command)

@Dave NottageThanks for responding I am in Delphi 10.3.3.

 

Here is what I see in verbose mode when I select Add New SDK as above and then press OK.

 

 

The -version -skd happens while the dialog is showing.  Nothing seems to happen when I press OK.

 

Do I need to download the SDK in the Mac?  The XCode version is 11.4.

Yes, that's what PAServer runs to discover what SDKs are on the Mac.

Actually, I'm not sure now whether PAServer will show anything when it copies the files to the local machine. I was hoping it would display an error (if any).

You should not need to, no. In case there is something really wrong though, on the Mac can you:

 

1. Go to the Applications folder in Finder
2. Right click on Xcode and click Show Package Contents
3. Navigate to: Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs and make sure there's a MacOSX.sdk folder there (with subfolders)

The only other thing I can think of is a rights issue (i.e. PAServer somehow does not have rights to the SDK subfolders), but that's a stretch

I have just been told that this is a reported bug with Catalina 10.15.4. and there is a workaround I am going to try.

@Dave NottageHow come this did not affect you?

Actually it did - sorry, I used the workaround. I think isolation has caused some memory loss 

[pyscripter 689]

I can confirm that the workaround worked.

I noticed that 10.4 had received a patch so I thought I'd create a fresh install (Windows and Delphi).

However, I can't add an SDK for OSX ... nothing is displayed in the SDK manager.

 

Like pyscripter "When I try to add a new SDK nothing happens."

 

I can't try the workaround above -

1 - I don't have folder to rename - is this my username Documents?

2- I don't have an entry in the SDK Manager

 

Xcode seems to be installed correctly 

 

Have I missed something?

Thanks

If you installed Delphi from scratch, you'll still need to apply the patches (there's 4)

In a Terminal window on the Mac, can you run this command?

/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version -sdk

In the output there should be at least one entry of MacOSX

I used RADStudio-10-4-1-esd-1461.exe to install, then I applied 3 patches as suggested by GetIt

 

/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version -sdk

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' 
is a command line tools instance

I think I have both the Tools IDE and the Commnad Line Tools installed ....

Like that ?

Which means you'll need to do:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Fantastic, that seems to have fixed it.

Thank you for your help 🙂
