RAS Studio Hotfixes for BMP Buffer Overflow and PAServer 

Hi Marco, I know this is a little bit off-topic, but it's something urgent to 
fix. As you probably know, since Sep. 20 the IOS App store introduced 
some new automatic checks on submitted apps, which practically prevent 
the submission of apps written with Delphi or C++Builder. In particular, 
it reports the following error : "ERROR ITMS-9000: "Invalid Segment 
Alignment."
I sincerely hope that someone at Emb is actively working on the issue, 
because otherwise we can simply delete IOS from the list of the platforms 
we can write apps for.

John, we are indeed working on offering full support for the iOS 8 
simulator, but Apple changed the game with little notice, and so 
that is taking a little time. The fix serves as a temporary solution.

Fulvio, yes, we have developers working on this since Sept 20 (no, 
Apple didn't tell in advance this was a new requirement). They 
require a newer LLVM linker than the version we use. As a 
workaround it might be possible to use the Xcode linker, we are 
making some experiments with that while we work for the real 
solution.

Hope to have updates real soon for both issues.

Hi marco,

I'm just want to suggest you that Embt should be 
more communicative regarding this major issue. In 
this forum 
https://forums.embarcadero.com/message.jspa?
messageID=670797 some developer willing to wait, 
but some of them have a deliverable contract to the 
client that is highly important for them, so i 
think this is a big issue and i still can't find 
any official announcement on Embt site, while other 
tool already fixed them within a week.

Of course i need information regarding when the 
fixed will be out, but most important is that you 
should announce to your user about the issue and do 
tell us that you are working hard for it. Maybe the 
linker breaking change on apple need a lot of 
effort to fixed it in delphi, but if you tell us, 
we can be more sure about your support for your 
customer

This is one of the bad marketing approach you still 
can't changes. Please be more communicative to your 
user. Hope you can understand what i'm saying.

Thanks,

Iwan

 I have no problem whatsoever deploying iOS applications built with 
Delphi XE6 to the iOS 7.1 simulator running in Xcode 5.1.1

I'm guessing this PAServer hotfix is for the iOS 7.1 simulator running in 
Xcode 6. You might want to be more specific about this.
