Macapi.Notifications

Simplified macOS notification bridge for Delphi #DelphiCocoaFlavored Lily Stilson // 2020

Usage

This unit is meant to be working with RAD Studio 10.4. It won't work in older versions due to bug in Macapi.Foundation. If your app was not signed with Apple Developer Certificate, then starting from macOS 10.15 this unit will work, but won't call any notifications due to limitations in OS.

                               const UseTimeZone: boolean = True);
