Targets iOS
1

Getting error “This item does not exist” any suggestions?

2

Which version of Xojo are you using?

Works fine here

System.Speak("this is a test")

Note that if you want more control over System.Speak you can use GitHub - kingj5/iOSKit
Using:

  • AVFoundation.AVSpeechUtterance
  • AVFoundation.AVSpeechSynthesizer
  • AVFoundation.AVAudioSession.SetCategoryWithOptions

Version 2021 Release 2

you are correct

works in a new project file

but not in my older project file.

4

If you have Simple references turned on in the build settings of your older project, that might prevent system.speak from working.

5

Yes that is the case I am pretty sure. That little switch I guess has helped and caused some issues. The switch does not exist in newer versions? Will it ever go away?

6

Simple references is now deprecated.
New projects always have Simple references off with no way to turn them on.

Thank you sir.

Is there a simple way to make an old project with simple references turn on to a new file with simple references turn off? No pun intended…
