I successfully built! Thanks you!

I fixed this by download latest pojucer, but not sure that i will successfully build

I tried 2 xcode version: v14.2 and 12.5.1, and got same result. I tried build Hise on macOS several times but not success. My temporory solution, download pre-build version (with this version, still compile VST no error). But i really want to find the way to build own HISE

You can watch and follow David Healey brother's tutorial on YouTube channel. It work without any error.

@ulrik said in Build Hise 4.1 on a macOS system issue:

inside the Hise code

Yes i'm using that version, v.6.1.4

Could you help me build Hise 4.1 on a macOS system? I've tried building it several times, but JUCE cannot save or open the project in the IDE. Please help me fix this issue. Thanks!

@d-healey Thanks Bro for suggestion, This problem may need more research. Ah, Could you please, give a instant about this constant:

Server.setBaseURL("http://hise.audio");

const var p = 
{
    "first_argument": 9000
};

// This dummy file just returns the `first_argument` as `post_argument`...
Server.callWithPOST("post_test.php", p, function(status, response)
{
    Console.print(response.post_argument);
});

I read documents but not really understand! Thank you!

@LindonAt the moments, i just test om local server, then test request by Postman, it work!```

 {
    "email": "abcd@outlook.com",
    "productKey": "abcd-1234",
}

Here is the form that i tested, it responded success! However, on Hise not work, it may have some restriction with constant or I need learn more document for understanding its working method.

@d-healey That's right :)), I learn from anywhere, collect information and test, so i haven't got official document, just have the form of method, so contents need create and learn from professional users. For Hise coding, i learn a lot from you!

@d-healey said in Help me understand Server.callWithPOST:

Do you have some documentation for the end point you are calling that I can look at?

Yes, sure:

1. Verify License Endpoint

• URL: /verify-license
• Method: POST
• Description: This endpoint receives a POST request with user data (email, product key, and system ID) and verifies the license validity. It returns the result indicating whether the license is valid.

2. Request Payload

• The payload sent to the server must be in JSON format and include the following fields:
  Example Payload:

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "productKey": "XYZ123456",
}

Sure! Here's a concise English translation of the documentation:

};

Server.callWithPOST("verify-license", payload, function(status, response) {
if (status == 200) {
if (response.success) {
Console.print("License valid! Activation successful.");
} else {
Console.print("License invalid!");

@d-healey said in Help me understand Server.callWithPOST:

what data is the endpoint expecting you to send to it?
Here is the way i apply Server.callWithPOST

Server.callWithPOST("verify-license", payload, function(status, response) {
   
});

payload = email & product key

@d-healey said in Help me understand Server.callWithPOST:

But what data is it expecting?

My perpose is create a simple protection through API system, ask users Login with email and product key, then click verify, on server.js it insert available nfo (input by users). If match, set unlock GUI from Hise

@Lindon I test on local server: http://localhost:3000/

@d-healey endpoint is: "verify-license"

@Lindon Thanks Bro, I will try!

@d-healey From server, it responded:

Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}
Received Body:  {}

It mean server don't understand json which was request by Hise, i check console print on Hise, I saw form was sent something like this: "email": abcd@gmail.com, "productKey": "1234abc", but server don't understand, so, it responded "status: 400"

@d-healey I tried this, but it doesn't work:

inline function normalizeString(input) {
    normalizedResult = normalizedResult.replace(" "); 
    local i = 0;
    while (i < input.length) {
        local char = input.substring(i, i + 1);
        if (char != " " && char != "\t" && char != "\n") {
            normalizedResult = normalizedResult.replace + char;
        }
        i = i + 1;
    }
    return normalizedResult;
}

@d-healey Thanks Bro for suggestion. Hise seem send text or something different, because server i tested on postman it work. But when try with Hise, it's always report "Status : 400", on server only receive: Empty Body: {}

I'm try send a json from Hise to local server (test) but the respond infomation from server is alway status 400 (server is only received blank). I'm newbie, thanks for your help!
Here is example script:

// API Server Connection
// Set the base URL for the Server
Server.setBaseURL("http://localhost:3000/");

const errorLabel = Content.getComponent("errorLabel");
const pnlGUILock = Content.getComponent("pnlGUILock");
var normalizedResult = ""; // Global variable to help normalize string

// Function to normalize string (remove extra spaces)
inline function normalizeString(input) {
    normalizedResult = ""; // Reset value
    local i = 0;
    while (i < input.length) {
        local char = input.substring(i, i + 1);
        if (char != " " && char != "\t" && char != "\n") {
            normalizedResult = normalizedResult + char;
        }
        i = i + 1;
    }
    return normalizedResult;
}

// Function to display error message
inline function showError(message) {
    errorLabel.set("text", message);
    Console.print("Error: " + message);
}

// Function to check if email is valid

    if (!isEmailValid(email)) {
        showError("Invalid email address!");

    local payload = {
        "email": email,
        "productKey": productKey
    };

    Console.print("Sending request with payload: " + JSON.stringify(payload));

    // Call the API to verify license
    Server.callWithPOST("verify-license", payload, function(status, response) {
        Console.print("Response result: Status = " + status);
        Console.print("Server response: " + JSON.stringify(response));

        if (status == 200) {

            }
        } else {
            showError("Server connection error! Status: " + status);
            pnlGUILock.showControl(true);
        }
    });
}

// Callback function for the verifyButton
inline function onVerifyButtonControl(component, value) {
    if (value) {
        Console.print("Clicked verifyButton, starting license verification...");
        verifyLicense();
    }
}

// Set callback for the verifyButton
