Delphi XE8

Preview: Build and deploy iOS 64-bit apps

Apple has been shipping iOS devices with 64-bit CPUs for a while but Apple is now requiring App Store apps to include 64-bit binaries. We've been running a beta for several months for developers to create 64-bit iOS apps, so I want to share some screenshots of this feature with you. Don't forget, you can buy XE7 now and get the next release when it ships, see www.embarcadero.com/radoffer (it is highly recommended to add regular update subscription after this time limited one expires)

First, to build a 64-bit target, simply select it in the project manager and compile.

FixInsight by SourceOddity

There’s a long history of static code analysis tools for a variety of languages. I’m probably not the only one who remembers PC-Lint’s ancient print magazine advertisements, which had a C code snippet and asked you to spot the problem with it. A compiler, of course is an example of just this: its hints and warnings are unnecessary but useful output. It doesn’t have to emit them – it really only needs to emit errors – but we appreciate when it does.  Often, in fact, I personally wish that Delphi emitted more hints and warnings than it does.

There are a number of tools that analyze Delphi code and produce reports based on it (Icarus, Delphi Unit Dependency Scanner, ModelMaker’s Unit Dependencies, and Castalia might count as well) but only two products perform static analysis and report possible code errors.  They are Pascal Analyzer (which emits warnings of various strengths, which I’ve never used but which had a good short review here) and this new plugin, FixInsight. The person behind SourceOddity is Roman Yankovsky, a name you might recognise from the Delphi Developers G+ group or elsewhere.

Adding a contact to iOS AddressBook using your Delphi application

Now, I want to learn how to add a contact to your iOS Phone AddressBook!
First download my last source code from :
https://sourceforge.net/p/dpfdelphiios/code/
and see AddressBookAdd demo,

I added AddAddressBook procedure to TDPFAddressBook component :

  

function TDPFAddressBook.AddAddressBook( FirstName: string; LatName: string; PhoneNumbers: array of TPhoneNumbers ): Boolean;
var
  Person               : ABRecordRef;
  error                : CFErrorRef;
  addressBook          : ABAddressBookRef;
  phoneNumberMultiValue: ABMutableMultiValueRef;
  venuePhoneNumbers    : NSMutableArray;
  I                    : Integer;
  s                    : string;
begin
  result      := false;
  addressBook := ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions( nil, &error );
  Person      := ABPersonCreate;
  if not Assigned( Person ) then
    exit;

  // FirsName & LastName
  result := ABRecordSetValue( Person, 0, PNSSTR( FirstName ), &error );
  if not result then
    exit;
  result := ABRecordSetValue( Person, 1, PNSSTR( LatName ), &error );
  if not result then
    exit;
  result := ABAddressBookAddRecord( addressBook, Person, &error );
  if not result then
    exit;

  // Phone
  phoneNumberMultiValue := ABMultiValueCreateMutable( kABMultiStringPropertyType );
  for I                 := low( PhoneNumbers ) to high( PhoneNumbers ) do
  begin
    if PhoneNumbers[I].PhoneLabel = '' then
      PhoneNumbers[I].PhoneLabel := kABPersonPhoneMainLabel;
    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel( phoneNumberMultiValue, PNSSTR( PhoneNumbers[I].PhoneNumber ), CFSTR( PhoneNumbers[I].PhoneLabel ), 0 );
  end;
  result := ABRecordSetValue( person, 3, phoneNumberMultiValue, nil );
  CFRelease( phoneNumberMultiValue );

  if not result then
    exit;

  // Save to AddressBook
  if ABAddressBookHasUnsavedChanges( addressBook ) then
    result := ABAddressBookSave( addressBook, &error );

  exit;
end;

for using this function, you can call like this:

procedure TFPeoplePicker.DPFAddressBook1RequestAccess( Sender: TObject; const Granted: Boolean );
var
  p: array [0 .. 2] of TPhoneNumbers;
begin
  P[0].PhoneNumber := '+98912xxxxx';
  P[0].PhoneLabel  := 'mobile';

  P[1].PhoneNumber := '+982188xxxxx';
  P[1].PhoneLabel  := 'work';

  P[2].PhoneNumber := '+982188xxxxx';
  P[2].PhoneLabel  := ''; // <-- contact’s primary number

  if Granted then
    DPFAddressBook1.AddAddressBook( 'Babak', 'Yaghoobi', p )
  else
    ShowMessage( 'Go to Setting->Privacy->Contacts and switch on this application' );
end;

Finally, see your phone contact list:

Enjoy Delphi iOS Native Programming !

Making iOS Setting Bundle in Delphi !

Hi,

For making setting bundle in your Delphi iOS apps, you must be make a xml file named : Root.plist
and write some code like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"     "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

        <dict>
            <key>Title</key>
            <string>D.P.F iOS Native Components</string>
            <key>Type</key>

            <string>Babak Yaghoobi</string>
            <key>Key</key>

            <key>Title</key>
            <string>Developed by</string>
            <key>Type</key>
            <string>PSTitleValueSpecifier</string>
        </dict>

        <dict>
            <key>DefaultValue</key>
            <string>bayaghoobi@gmail.com</string>
            <key>Key</key>
            <string>developed_preference</string>
            <key>Title</key>
            <string>eMail : </string>
            <key>Type</key>

        </dict>
    </array>

    <key>StringsTable</key>
    <string>Root</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Now open Deployment windows and add this file in your deploy list, then change remote path :

\Settings.bundle\

Deploy project into Device or Simulator and press home button for closing app,

Go Phone Setting icon and scroll down to bottom, you must be see your app there !
