Embarcadero released RAD Studio 13.1 Florence Update 1 today, bundling major updates across RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder. Delphi now natively compiles to Windows on Arm (Arm64EC), enabling developers to build applications for Arm-based Windows devices directly from existing Win32/Win64 codebases without Intel emulation. This release also adds Android API Level 36 support (critical for Google Play compliance from August 2026) and iOS 26 support, alongside a refreshed Bookmarks addon integrated into the IDE for enhanced navigation. The new FireMonkey Style Designer offers a modern, design-centric approach to FMX styling, distinct from the existing Bitmap Style Designer.
