UPDATE (April 13th, 2015): I've added a separate download for a 64 bit version of libReachability.a. This file is untested as I do not have regular access to a 64 bit iOS device. UPDATE: The project has been updated to include retrieving the current SSID (that the device is connected to). For Android, this means [...]
UPDATE: If you're using Delphi XE7, the TWebBrowser component now includes the method EvaluateJavascript (does the same thing as what my GetJavaScript result does), and applies to both iOS and Android. In a post on the Embarcadero forums some time ago, Charles Vinal asked about whether it would be possible to have TWebBrowser implement the stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString [...]
NOTE: If you have read this post before, it has been updated recently to include further changes that remove all leaks generated by the demo project. Recently there was a posting in the Embarcadero forums about problems with creating a secondary form, showing it modally, then destroying it; namely that the app exits without warning [...]
Apple have made changes to the way hiding the status bar works in iOS 7. If you want your app to be full screen (i.e. minus the status bar), you'll need to create a customised .plist file, like I've described in this article: http://delphi.radsoft.com.au/2013/10/providing-background-services-support-to-your-ios-apps-with-delphi/ This time, you'll need to add the following to the customised [...]
If you've just installed Xcode 5, there's at least one thing you'll need to attend to, to develop from Delphi XE5 (it is also possible to use XE4; check here) Xcode 5 is a completely new install; in other words, anything else you had before, such as the Command Line Tools and extra simulators, are [...]
If you've installed update 1 for XE5, you'll soon find that there's a couple of issues that have moved from the device to the simulator; namely the placement of the Virtual Keyboard "Done" bar, and clicking of controls is vertically askew. These two posts relate to the issues: http://delphi.radsoft.com.au/2013/10/coping-with-done-bar-on-ios7-devices/ http://delphi.radsoft.com.au/2013/10/coping-with-clicking-controls-on-ios7-devices/ First the patch for clicking [...]
UPDATE: If you've applied Update 1 for XE5, please revert any changes made based on this article, or ignore it if you have not made any changes. The issue has been resolved in Update 1 for the DEVICE; Update 1 causes an issue with clicking controls in the simulator. Please refer to this article if [...]
In an earlier post: Making Delphi XE 4 compile for iOS devices with Xcode 5 I outlined how to set up Delphi XE4 for compiling for iOS devices with Xcode 5. An important issue that was unresolved at the time was that debugging an app on the device wasn't possible. Now, thanks to Carlos Naranjo [...]
UPDATE: The demo project attached has been updated due to a couple of "glitches". One remaining known issue is that the "Config" page doesn't move to its original position if changing orientation when the keyboard is already showing. I'll revisit the article when I've come up with a solution. I'm sure almost everyone who develops [...]
I really don't know what possessed the people at Apple to make the UIPickerView transparent by default; it can make it very difficult to distinguish the items in the list from what is underneath. In the FireMonkey TComboBox in Delphi XE5, the picker is implemented using the native UIPickerView. The way the picker is implemented, [...]
