Tip for a successful notarization of your 4D app

2019-12-30 Thread Armin Deeg via 4D_Tech

I would like to share my experience in notarizing Mac Apps.

Instead of using the internal 4D signature function in the build process, I use the tool from Magic 
Miyako.


https://github.com/miyako/4d-utility-build-application

_1. Sign my App after build_
With this tool I sign my 4D applications. Note, It cannot be used out of the box. There are some 
modificationes needed (App path, ...)
I have excluded the code lines after the successful signing. I do not use the notarization with the 
tool.

I have copied the essential methods into my application.

_2. Build an Apple Installer_
Then I create an Apple installer with the "pkgbuild" method, which is also in the Build-Application 
tool from Magic Miyako. The installer is also signed automatically.


_3. Build distribution DMG and notarize_
The last important step to notarize the app and installer for the dsitribution I have outsourced and 
do this with the "DMG Canvas" tool.


https://www.araelium.com/dmgcanvas
It is a $20 DMG creation tool.

The advantage of this is that the distribution DMG is created and at the same time the entire 
content of the DMG is notarized.

This process takes about 10 minutes. There is a command line and notarizing 
option included.

I have integrated all these 3 steps into my automated "Build-Application" process. After completion 
and verification of the notarization, I automatically upload the Distribution DMG to my website.


Hope this helps to save your time.

I do this with 4D v17r6

Regards Armin

Help LEP macOS to open the Emoji viewer

2019-03-09 Thread Armin Deeg via 4D_Tech
Hi,

I like to display the charmap from macOS to allow the insert of special chars 
in Write Pro.

When I paste this in terminal it works 
   
   osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to keystroke space using 
{control down, command down}‘

When I try this with LEP, nothing happens, what I’m doing wrong ?

   $cgiScript:="osascript -e 'tell app \"System Events\" to 
keystroke space using {control down, command down}'"
   LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($cgiScript;$vt_in;$vt_Out;$vt_err)


Thanks Armin

Hi,

time is running and does not stand still. In autumn macOS 10.15 will be 
released and the 32 bit support for 4D apps is gone on Mac.

I have a feature request posted for 9 missing WP 4D Write functions. 

Link: https://forums.4d.com/Post/DE/28264550/0/0/

I ask for your support to give this contribution 4 stars and also very much to 
write something about it which you need additionally. Or just add a comment on 
what your most important points are.

1. Print with transparent page background.
2. Toolbar malfunction to format frames.
3. Default dialogs to format references
4. Write Pro more properties to WP SET ATTRIBUTES / page mode, ruler on/off, 
zoom %
5. 4D Write Pro, smaller horizontal ruler and copy/paste/format tabs
6. toolbar enhancements Pictures, Tables
7. Search/Replace feature in user interface
8. Please make columns and text blocks on the same page possible
9. WP Tables colspan and rowspan
10. to be continued

Thanks for your attention and support
Armin

4D email client from Dave Batton, where to get the old sample 4DB ?

2017-03-25 Thread Armin Deeg via 4D_Tech
Hi, 

I've found this pdf: 
ftp://ftp.4d.com/aci_product_reference_library/4D_PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/PDF_Docs_by_4D_Product_A-Z/4D_Web_2.0_Pack/v11_R2/4D_Email_Client_Beta.pdf

this describes a sample database for a 4D email client.

Someone knows how I can get this database or a newer improved version?
I think this could be a timesaver when I start this project for my databases.

Thanks Armin
