TIPS for developing Delphi 10Seattle Apps on Apple environment
With Delphi 10Seattle can easily create beautiful applications for Mac OSX and iOS , it will be biased but The Delphi IDE is now truly exceptional ;
First you need to configure the development environment , installing everything you need as well documented by Embarcadero .
Once your environment is functioning well , this does not guarantee that an upgrade or the XCode SDK configured or even tweak a Mac OS X update can not compromise what for you was fine .
For these situations there are workarounds that can be made simply … I personally always keep in mind these three TIP before performing any kind of updates :
Tip 1 : Extend XCODE to use more than one version of the SDK for both OS / X and iOS :
————————————————– ———————————–
MAC / OSX under /Application/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platform/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs are directories of SDK versions supported by your default XCode on Mac .
While iOS SDKs are located in : /Application/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Platform/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
In order to add a previous version of the SDK you simply copy from the previous version of XCode the entire folder in the SDKs directory .
After you copy the folder with the desired version of the SDK you’ll have to do is restart XCode .
What did you just go on the IDE of Delphi and select Project- > Edit SDK and click on ADD , the new version of the SDK will be shown in the list ready to import the desired files .
Tip 2 : Saving the working version of the SDK Cache environment Delphi :
————————————————– ———————————
If your system works great , compiled for OSX and iOS without problems, then before updating the local cache in the Delphi IDE is a good idea to copy the folder C : \ Users \
Tip 3 : Updates XCode :
——————————
And ‘ advisable to make the rescue of the SDK directory tree before you upgrade , because often eliminates XCode SDK to replace the old with the new . Doing this if you find that your version of Delphi is no longer compatible with the version of the SDK you can add back the old ones.
