    You can use universal solution for all platforms docwiki.embarcadero.com - FireMonkey Save State - RAD Studio
    or this service

    Interesting. Last time I looked at SaveState it was Android only. Looks like I could save a TFDMemTable to it now.

    Brian Hamilton GetHomePath is personal folder, question about global folder

    the article linked above uses gethomepath "To make this save data persistent, add the following line at the beginning of the FormCreate event:
    Delphi:

    SaveState.StoragePath := TPath.GetHomePath; "

    Note that if your app is sandboxed, then you cannot access global folder unless you specifically request a temporarily exception in the Entitlement list.
