One of the things announced at WWDC last week (that was not announced in the WWDC Keynote) is that Apple has now combined the separate iOS and Mac Developer Programs into the single Apple Developer Program. So what does this mean for Xojo developers?

Though increasingly rare, we do still hear from Xojo users who get false positives from their anti-virus software when downloading Xojo or running Xojo applications. We’ve even heard of this occurring when users are debugging apps from the IDE. To get around this, you can refer to the documentation for your anti-virus software on how to exclude Xojo from scans. To fix these issues for yourself and future Xojo users, we ask that you report these occurrences to your anti-virus software makers.

We’ve occasionally heard from Xojo users that their anti-virus software gives them a warning about Xojo. All of these have been false positives and we ask that you report these to your virus software makers if it happens to you.
Consider the following code:
dim i64 as Int64 = 1234567 dim i32 as int32 = 7654321 i32 = Int32(i64) // cast i64 = Int64(i32) // cast i32 = Ctype(i64, Int32) // convert i64 = Ctype(i32, Int64) // convert
It all seems reasonable enough. Not useful, but seems reasonable. Only one problem. It won’t compile. Why not? The two casts to int32 and int64 will fail. Now why is that?

Comments closedIf you do any work with private/public key cryptography, the addition of the Crypto library last year made it finally possible to create and verify digital signatures as well as encrypt and decrypt data. Using keys with other systems requires a little more work to convert them to and from the PEM format.
