The RAD Studio 13 October Patch provides quality improvements to the 13 release, focused on C++ tooling, some debugger, iOS 26 and reFind improvements, enhancements to the Windows SDK integration for C++, and the delivery of some missing Indy packages.
The October Patch is a cumulative patch, which also includes all fixes delivered in the September Patch. This means that if you haven’t installed any of the 13.0 patches, all you have to install is the October Patch.
Installing this patch is highly recommended for all RAD Studio 13, Delphi 13, and C++Builder 13 customers.
If you download the patch through GetIt, it will install automatically and create a backup of any replaced files. The actual download - about 825MB - takes place while the patch runs in a console window, which may take some time depending on your internet speed.
Note: The October patch includes updated versions of PAServer for MacOS and Windows. The MacOS version is the same as the September patch, so you need to copy it over to your target Mac device and install it there manually unless you have already done it for the September Patch. The Windows version of PAServer is new in this patch.
This patch is also available in the download portal at my.embarcadero.com:
- Locate the RAD Studio 13 October Patch file and download it.
- After unzipping it, you can run the batch file included
- In alternative, you can manually expand the embedded ZIP file in the respective subfolders of the RAD Studio installation folder.
- Next install PAServer for MacOS and Windows, as indicated above.
To uninstall the patch and revert back to the 13 original version:
- Open the Catalog Repository installation folder (there is a specific, new command in GetIt dialog to open the folder a packages is expended into)
- Run the uninstall batch file
- Only after you have cleared the patch, uninstall the package from GetIt
In the folder where the patch was unzipped, run the uninstall batch file.
In some uncommon scenarios, after applying the patch when building for macOS, you might see a link-time error message like [dccosxarm64 Error] E2597 ld: file not found: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AVFCapture.framework/Versions/A/AVFCapture for architecture arm64
In this case, consider following the steps below:
a. On your Mac, at the PAServer prompt, type s to display your scratch-dir location and delete that scratch-dir folder and its contents b. In the RAD Studio IDE, in the Platforms SDK configuration, delete the MacOSX 26.0 SDK for the macOS ARM 64-bit platform c. In the folder C:\Users<username>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\SDKs, delete MacOSX26.0.sdk file. d. In the RAD Studio IDE, configure the MacOSX 26.0 SDK once again
