EDIT: This post is now outdated. HotFix 1 addresses this issue, and these steps are no longer needed! I was trying to record the process of submitting an app last Friday. My EDN app was ready for the AppStore. I ran into this: iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable is missing a required architecture. At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv7 This happens on the validation step of submitting an app to the AppStore. The reason is that the validation step for...

I've been hacking away at my EDN iOS app. Here are a few screen shots of what it looks like in development. I have a few things I need to polish and then I will submit it to the AppStore. Technical details: * Communicates with the EDN MemberShip Services DataSnap REST Server * You can log in, view your details, edit your details and post changed details back * You can get all your registered products and serial numbers * You can choose to persist username/password or not * Work...

My EDN article "Writing a DataSnap server and an iOS client in 10 minutes flat!" Enjoy!...

The history is happening right now, right here! I'm just back from Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Yesterday it was a pure pleasure to present "RAD Studio XE2 in Action LIVE!" to the crowd of enthusiastic developers. It looks it was the first Delphi/C++Builder event ever in Romania! The audience was very technical and positive. There was no end to questions about Delphi, C++Builder, FireMonkey, future plans for RAD Studio and many other, sometimes very low-level. The event was divid...

I finally upgraded to Lion and Xcode 4.3. Also iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4. I can happily confirm that FireMonkey apps work great on iOS 5.1 devices. I already had Snow Leopard and Xcode 4.2 before. All it took was upgrading to Lion and then getting Xcode 4.3. That's it. I did not have to reinstall FPC or FMI at all....

In the coming weeks, I will be blogging about how to create your own iOS client to access any DataSnap server. Did someone say we don't have TDataSet on iOS? Yeah, that might have been me. So wrong!

In fact, here's a (condensed) code snippet from this app: Proxy := CreateProxy; DS := Proxy.GetRegistrations(Session); FreeProxy(Proxy); while not DS.EOF do begin Memo1.Lines.Add(DS.FieldByName('TITLE').AsString+' '+DS.FieldByName('REGISTRATIONS').AsString); DS.Next; end; O...
