Hi there,

I've just tried to run an air app on iOS 6 but all the vistual elements doesn't render properly, e.g. the tab view cannot render tab icons/tab bar, the action bar cannot render anything at all plus all other components...

Please let me know if you have any idea about that.

Many thanks.

Correct answer Pahup

Thanks for reporting the issue. What render mode you're trying on? It's a known issue with gpu render mode and we're investigating it.

Because this wasn't clear enough for me before actual testing:

I can confirm that the latest release of AIR 3.3 fixes the GPU rendering bug. (Beta 3, iPad 3)

If you are still wondering should you update your device to iOS6 beta...

Hi,

I have not tried iOS6 myself, but release notes for yesterday show:

(7/11/12) Air SDK 3.3.0.3690

FIXED ISSUES:

AIR on iOS apps using GPU render mode crash on iOS 6 devices. (3211902)

I don't know if this crash fix relates to the same rendering bug..

Have you tested it yet boat? Success? Anyone? Hesitant to flip my iPhone to iOS 6 but it needs to be done.

BTW does this mean that iOS6 will break all previous apps ever, like apps built with 2.6. 2.7, 3.0...do we need to go back and update all our old apps?

I have apps made with AIR 2.0 that are working fine in iOS 6. I have non-AIR apps that do crash in iOS 6, and those apps will need to be republished with those tools, put for AIR, everything seems to be ok.

The AIR 2/0 app I tried does use GPU, but I gather that some AIR 3.3 apps had problems in GPU. There is the new update to take care of those.

update:

- i'm still using cs5.5, but now have air3.3 overlayed

- i changed the render mode in the app.xml file to "direct" instead of "gpu" and republished

the app seems to display the graphics and dynamic text ok, but the stageVideos are not showing up.

suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks...

note to colin,

stageVideo using gpu has worked for me since air3.0... i didn't try direct mode until recently

update:

today i used cs6.0 with air3.3 and "direct" render mode... stageVideos seem to be working.

have not tried to go back to "gpu" to test that render mode since it's apparently better to be using "direct" anyway
