Question

Air 23 SDK - Invalid type for UIDeviceFamily value - Values for UIDeviceFamily are expected to be integers.

When submitting an Air 23 SDK ios app to iTunes, I received the following warning

Invalid type for UIDeviceFamily value - Values for UIDeviceFamily are expected to be integers.

the key is set as:

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array>

I have tried to change string to number and integer, neither will compile in Air - get error saying invalid value in key.

This is just a warning, iTunes apparently accepted the app, but would like to know a fix.

      our delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery: 

      Invalid type for UIDeviceFamily value - Values for UIDeviceFamily are expected to be integers.

      So maybe we don't need to do anything really...

      Till it will be rejected I'm afraid...

      But maybe Adobe Air will find a solution till then :-)

      Did your app get rejected? Or you just got that warning and the app was approved?

      Also, yes, number and integer types will not compile in AIR, tried that. You'd have to probably change it to Number in the plist, but of course Apple doesn't let you do that manually. This if anything seems to me a way to target and cripple AIR apps specifically until Adobe releases a patch.

      Same issue today and yesterday. It so happens we were still running AIR 21 when this happened, so it's not related to AIR 23, I don't think. Apparently Apple changed something. See this thread:
