Highlights

  • Android 13, macOS Ventura, Ubuntu 22, Windows Server 2022, iOS 16 platform support
  • New notarization process for macOS
  • All non-Windows platform debuggers across Delphi and C++ are now LLDB-based
    • Delphi macOS ARM 64
    • Delphi macOS Intel 64
    • Delphi Android 64
    • Delphi iOS 64
    • C++ iOS 64
    • C++ Android 32
    • Delphi Linux 64
    • C++ Win64
  • ToolsAPI support for the Code Editor
  • PostgreSQL performance improvements for FireDAC
  • New Highlighting Matching Words feature within the IDE see wiki page
    • The RAD Studio Code Editor highlights instances of the same word onscreen when a word is selected by double-clicking or when the cursor is inside or adjacent to that word. This is useful to allow you to quickly see other instances of the same word or identifier, and it works well in combination with SyncEdit (which allows you to edit all instances of the same word within a selection) or searching the editor with the Find feature.
  • New Mobile Biometric Authentication component for FMX (TBiometricAuth)
  • Many updates to LSP / Code Insight
  • Updated version of the ZLib library (1.2.13)

Items to be aware of

  • [Install] There are still reports of the long-time issue of losing library paths (except Win32) on an install, so ensure to manually backup your registry if you have a lot of component paths to manage. (Another attempt to fix will occur for 12.0)
  • [Install] There were a few reports of the Migration Tool reinstalling obsolete packages, see RSP-40638
  • [IDE] Default search behavior changed when copying text, see RSP-40900
  • [IDE] If your toolbar position is messed up after 11.3 install, delete the "Toolbars" node at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0 and restart IDE to put the toolbar back to default position. Glenn Dufke
  • [macOS] If you get an error [dccosx64 Error] E2597 ld: file not found: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVFCapture.framework/Versions/A/AVFCapture for architecture x86_64 using the macOS SDK 13.1, delete the SDK manager in Delphi. Delete the MacOSX13 SDK folder from "C:\Users(username)\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\SDKs" Delete the cache-dir folders from the scratch-dir folder on the Mac. Re-import the SDK. Dave Nottage
  • [IDE] Cursor jumps around when using the new highlight word feature when used with collapsed code RSP-40658 (Until fixed, you can turn off "Highlighting Matching Words" via Tools > Options > User Interface > Editor)
  • [Android] If you get an error Failure [INSTALL PARSE FAILED MANIFEST MALFORMED: Failed parse during install package: /data/app/vmd12079946750.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #51): com.embarcadero.firemonkey.FMXNativeActivity Workaround from Daniele Teti: This can happen because the default AndroidManifest.template.xml file has not been removed by the uninstaller (that’s correct for the file located in AppData\Roaming folder). Rename (or delete) the file located in AppData\Roaming\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\AndroidManifest.xml and restart Delphi. You’ll also need to delete the AndroidManifest.template.xml file from your project (migrating all manual edit you did, if any), and rebuild your app.
