RAD Studio 11 November patch

This is the second patch for RAD Studio 11 and it is a cumulative patch including all of the changes and fixes in RAD Studio 11.0 Patch 1. For this reason, this new patch can be equally installed on a system which already has Patch 1, overriding it, or on a new RAD Studio 11 installation.

The patch addresses a regression introduced in RAD Studio 11 Patch 1 and includes an additional update to PAServer for macOS and iOS development on macOS 12.0.1 Monterey. More details are listed below. Installing this patch is recommended for all RAD Studio 11 customers.

Installation via GetIt

If you download the patch via GetIt, it is installed automatically, creating a backup of the files replaced. The download, about 900MB, happens in one of the steps of the console window (so may take some time, depending on your connection speed).

Note that the updated RAD Studio 11.0 PAServer version 13.0.12.1 for iOS and macOS is only copied into the PAServer folder (by default, a folder like C:Program Files (x86)EmbarcaderoStudio22.0PAServer), and you need to copy it over to a Mac and install it manually there. After this step, in the SDK Manager of the RAD Studio IDE you need to delete and redefine the macOS 12.0 SDK and/or the iOS 15.0 SDK (we recommend deleting and importing again any Apple SDK you have already, if you are running PAServer on macOS Monterey).

Manual Download and Installation

This patch is also available in the download portal at my.embarcadero.com. In this case, you’ll find the main RAD Studio 11 November Patch download file, with a batch file you can run or you can manually expand the ZIP file in the respective subfolders of the RAD Studio installation folder. You’ll also have to copy PAServer and install on your Mac and reimport the SDKs as explained above.

Uninstallation steps (for GetIt installation)

  • Open the Catalog Repository installation folder
  • Run patch.R110.hotfix.november_uninstall.bat
  • Only after you have cleared the patch, uninstall the package from GetIt
