_____________________________
The world has gone multi-platform. Android owns half of the global market. iOS holds 18% of users who spend twice as much money. macOS keeps growing. A Windows-only application is leaving money on the table - and Delphi FMX lets you claim it all from a single codebase.
"Delphi in All Its Glory - Part 4" is the practical, hands-on guide to building, styling, and deploying applications across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS using the FireMonkey framework. From configuring your first SDK to publishing a signed app in the Google Play and Apple App stores, this book doesn't miss a step.
What You'll Master
The cross-platform blueprint: why FMX is fundamentally different from VCL, how its rendering engine works, the architectural differences that matter, and what these mean for your code.
Android from zero: SDK, NDK, ADB, device setup, wireless debugging, simulators, 32-bit vs 64-bit targeting, and building your first cross-platform app. PAServer, provisioning, and signing will no longer be esoteric terms.
Apple without the headaches: navigating Apple's hardware requirements, PAServer on Mac, SDK configuration, and the practical options when you don't own a Mac (VMs, cloud services, Hackintosh - with honest assessments of each).
App store ready: complete, step-by-step guides for publishing on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Provisioning profiles, code signing, versioning, submission processes, and even Microsoft Store publishing. No guesswork.
The FMX framework mastered: the component hierarchy, key differences in controls, forms, modal dialogs, styled containers, text controls, checkboxes, scrollboxes, and the traps that catch every VCL developer on their first FMX project.
VCL to FMX conversion: component equivalents (direct, close-enough, and missing), plus hands-on guides for MidaConverter, ADUG Converter, VCL2FMX, and AI-assisted conversion tools. Migrate your legacy code without starting over.
File deployment and the sandbox: understand the App Package anatomy, the sandbox concept, and the two methods for reliable file extraction on mobile devices. Get your assets where they need to be.
Styles and theming: load application-wide styles, customize individual component styles, and make your app look native on every platform.
Cross-platform library creation: the three-package structure for building libraries that work on both VCL and FMX, with component registration and framework-specific property handling.
Conditional compilation mastered: framework detection, platform detection, build configuration detection, and keeping a single codebase clean and functional everywhere.
Why This Book?
Cross-platform Delphi development has a reputation for being painful. It doesn't have to be. The pain comes from incomplete documentation, scattered forum posts, and trial-and-error with platform-specific requirements.
This book consolidates everything into one place. Every step is documented. Every platform quirk is explained. Every "why doesn't this work?" has an answer.
The Series
Part of "Delphi in All Its Glory" - five books, 2,000+ pages, seven years in the making.
Part 1 lays the foundation.
Part 2 covers the compiler, debugging, memory management, and exceptions.
Part 3 tackles libraries and packages - the architectural backbone that makes large-scale Delphi development possible.
Part 4 goes cross-platform with FMX.
Part 5 brings in AI-assisted development with Claude Code.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
