Already using item flagged as deprecated?

Targets iOS
#1

Copied some older code from another app into a new project. Analyzing I get a bunch of strange deprecation warnings. Anyone know what I am missing?

All of these depreciations come from using the namespaced versions of those classes. So for instance in your JSONSave method, I suspect that you are using a Xojo.IO.Folderitem.

Thanks, Greg. That seems to be the case. If I change:

Dim t As TextOutputStream =TextOutputStream.Create(f, TextEncoding.UTF8)

to:

Dim t As TextOutputStream =TextOutputStream.Create(f)

I get a Not Enough Arguments error.

The thing is that I don’t have a “Using” statement anywhere in my app so I don’t know how to fix this. Why would it think I’m using Xojo.IO?

#4

Try to set “Simple References” in the Inspector of “Shared Build Settings” .

#5

To supplement Martin’s suggestion, the setting only appears in 2020r2 for projects created before 2020r2. Change the switch to off.
