Hello guys
Hello guys,
https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-16492
The Platform Status page is not complete IMHO, the status of support for Android should be more complex than just saying the version that is supported at all. Is not uncommon that new NDK revisions introduce breaking changes disallowing the debugging support or even the SDK. To be able to compile the app successfully, you need to have a perfect and compatible combination of SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools and SDK Build-tools, upgrading any of these can be harmful and rise problems on building Android apps with Delphi. I think the Platform Status need to provide the Android NDK and Android SDK tools supported along the Android version supported at all, this avoid developers upgrading the development setup and breaking the build. The same applies to iOS, we are at iOS 10.1.1, but the Platform Status just say about the iOS 10, which XCode version is supported it is not informed, which underlying macOS version should be used neither. This kind of information is pretty relevant to prevent developers of upgrading their iPhones/macs and become unable to enjoy all the development support provided by the Delphi toolchain.
Many thanks.
