Getting application path in Firemonkey

Question

So in VCL, one would use the following line of code to retrieve the applications path:

ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)

I tried the same thing Firemokey and I noticed that ExeName was no longer available. What code can I use as an alternative to this?

Try using ParamStr(0) instead of Application.ExeName.

As far as I remember it worked. I am not able to check. – AvgustinTomsic Nov 26 '19 at 10:16

I'm using

showmessage(System.SysUtils.GetCurrentDir);

and works like a charm :)
