Should the 11.3 be compatible to macos sdk 13.1? I at least cant use that sdk, I get

 

[dccosx64 Error] E2597 ld: file not found: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVFCapture.framework/Versions/A/AVFCapture for architecture x86_64

1. Delete the SDK from SDK Manager in Delphi
2. Delete the MacOSX13 SDK folder from C:\Users\(username)\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\SDKs
3. Delete the cache-dir folders from the scratch-dir folder on the Mac
4. Re-import the SDK

There must be a lot of people are installing today.

GetIt UI is slow as heck and server is complaining.

 

[Stefan Glienke 2002]

I wonder what tech GetIt is implemented in that it cannot cope with a bit of workload 

[Lars Fosdal 1791]

There must be something fundamentally wrong with the code flow of that dialog.
After the initial component load - why does it need so long to change a filter, complete a search, or even just scrolling down the list a little?

[Lajos Juhász 293]

GetIt worked ok 4.5 hours ago.

America is awake now, I guess.

Opening an existing FMX package crashes Delphi and it completely closes with no error message!

[Angus Robertson 574]

I built all the ICS FMX packages yesterday with 11.3, no problems. 

 

Updating GetIt installed components really needs some work, far too many errors and restarts required.  

 

Being able to print a list of what GetIt has installed and where would be really useful since we expected to repeat it all after a minor upgrade like 11.3.

This aspect of installation isn't much fun

[Lajos Juhász 293]

It's also bad idea that they've changed the install folder for KonopkaControls when installed from GetIt. If you have multiple registry entries you have to update them manually (IMHO there should be options when downloading from GetIt to update it).

Well, at least it told you what happened so you can fix or work around it 🤦‍♂️

It seems, that when you run RAD Studio Command Prompt, you can use:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\bin\GetItCmd.exe" -l= -f=installed

Hey, you forgot the "Retry" button.

Also, getit has a nice log file hidden in ProgramData.

Thanks, useful, but it should also be a menu item somewhere so people can find it without resorting to documentation.

I can't currently work out why but some of my FMX forms won't open even if just using Windows. Delphi just crashes can anyone think what would cause thsi?

No prizes for guessing what happened there.

 

I did a complete uninstall, and then a re-install succeeded.

My bet is on stack overflow. You should try to debug the IDE to catch the reason.

as I said: I always uninstall, install my softwares! no fails!!!

of course, the "software" is not include in "no fails" 🤣

I'd been working with 11.2 to get my app looking good in high DPI settings. This was all fine. Now with 11.3, loads of things look terrible again. One step forward, two steps back. 'Twas ever thus.

Is it possible to make a demo of that problem and report it? 

[malobo 2]

Another success of these geniuses. The only way is to uninstall everything and do a clean installation again. The most expensive and seediest toy I have.

a demo about High DPI "Horror", of couse: just PrintScreen 😁 😂

I need to do work before I can do that. It's really frustrating that I cannot have 11.2 and 11.3 installed on the same machine.
