Question

adl supports retina, air installer does not?

I'm having an issue that only becomes obvious when I launch the packaged .air file through the AIR installer.

Everything is pixelated.

While I'm working in Adobe Animate and testing with adl, everything is sharp and crisp.

Attached is a screen grab of the application running in AIR (behind / left) vs running through Animate via ADL (front / right)

Did I miss a step somewhere? Or is AIR itself not designed to run on higher density displays?

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum as I think it's more of an issue with AIR itself.

Thanks!

Hi,

Please try adding (or modifying) the following into your app's app-descriptor.xml file:

<requestedDisplayResolution>high</requestedDisplayResolution>

You'll want to be using AIR 23 for hiDPI support on Windows, but Mac retina support has been around much earlier.

Here's the noob question. How do I include an app-descriptor.xml file with my Animate CC project?

I was convinced it wasn't the project but something with AIR because of the following screenshot. The AIR installer looks pixelated.

Moving your post to the Adobe AIR forum. The experts here should be able to answer your question.

Thanks,
