Firstly many thanks for AIR 31 Beta. I am glad I am able to run on iOS12 Beta.

Problem Description:

When I use Xcode10 beta to compile with iOS 12 beta SDK I receive compile errors

Steps to Reproduce:

Compile basic Hello World AIR app for iOS 12 beta using Xcode 10 beta 5 and the switch: -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk

Actual Result:

ld: library not found for -lstdc++

Compilation failed while executing : ld64

If I copy + replace ld from

/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

to

/AIRSDK_31Beta/lib/aot/bin/ld64/ld64 I receive the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libtapi.dylib

Referenced from: /Users/xxxxx/SDKs/AIRSDK_31B/lib/aot/bin/ld64/ld64

Reason: image not found

I have attempted to copy libtapi.dylib from xctoolchain to several folders under the AIRSDK but I still receive the image not found

Expected Result:

I can use -platformsdk switch to compile using Xcode 12 beta

Any Workarounds:

None Known

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I build an ipa using AIR SDK 32(Beta) . I have also added iPhone SDK 12.1 from path "Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS12.1.sdk ".

When i publish the app in new 2018 iPad Pro (11 inch) (actual device and not on simulator) my application does not get loaded in fullscreen.

In iPad Pro (both 11 inches and new 12.9 inches), we see a rectangular black border around the app, all four sides do not stretch to the edges of the screen.

Is there a new default(launch) image for the new iPAD? Does AIR 32 have default image support for new ipad's?

How do i support fullscreen mode?

Hi ,

So are you are using the iOS simulator with Animate ? and you copied over the smaller "ld" file from Xcode 10.1 .. not working for me .

RE launch images :-

I believe it's necessary to include default images for BOTH portrait and landscape for the iPad Pros.

(iPad Pro 10.5)

Default-Portrait-834w-1112h@2x~ipad

Default-Landscape-834w-1112h@2x~ipad

(iPad Pro 12)

Default-Portrait-1024w-1366h@2x~ipad

Default-Landscape-1024w-1366h@2x~ipad

You won't get screen display at the correct resolution unless you use both launch images apparently.

This is good reference for current iOS launch images..

I think we all need to look at this post from Michael at Distriqt, looks like he's spotted the problem ? : -

I emailed Michael the day before he posted there, which got him looking into the issues.

Preran Mohanaraj can you see if you can get the AIR guys to look into the linker issues?

Hello Everyone,

The beta is now live (Adobe AIR 32 Beta | application development - Adobe Labs ) and we would love to hear feedback from all of you. Thanks for your patience.

Unfortunately AIR 32 give an invalid input error, most likely because of out of date ANEs. Updating the ANEs leads to a ton of errors to do with those ANEs. It may take some time to fix those errors before being able to see if the platform switch side of things is improved.

Hello Everyone,

We are in the process of releasing AIR beta. It should be out this week and will have the fixes for XCode 10. I will update the thread once we are live.

Awesome, thanks!

Also does that mean that AIR is going to be compiled against IOS 12 SDK?

I have the same issue when trying to run my app to iOS Simulator from Flash Builder 4.7 on Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 and AR SDK 31 using XCode 10.1

When debugging normally everything works fine, this only happens when I try to to run app on iOS simulator.

Yep, that's kinda bad. It's been known since XCODE BETA (August) that these changes will be effective with release of iOS 12 and xcode 12. Yet adobe didn't bother to anticipate them?

Is this solved yet or is there a "known issue" to track? Xcode 10 and iOS 12 are officially launched but I'm still getting the same error.

ld: library not found for -lstdc++

Compilation failed while executing : ld64

I'm using:

macOS Version 10.13.6 (17G65)

Xcode Version 10.0 (10A255)

Air SDK Version 31.0.0.96

The latest AIR is still built against iOS 11 SDK.

With iOS 12 SDK now not supporting libstdc++ Adobe will have to compile against libc++

Will need to wait until AIR is built against iOS 12 SDK which if it's the same as last year will be AIR 32 in December

So to confirm we should hold off on upgrading to Xcode 10 until Adobe fixes this issue right?

I'm having the same issues outlined above.

In replacing the ld64 from Xcode to AIR, you do need to rename the file (Apple call it ld, Adobe call it ld64). Also, that ought to only help using the Simulator, I think you should have been able to build onto a device, because Xcode and Simulator are not involved in doing that.

I am aware if the ld64 naming convention and did rename as ld64

ld64 is heavily involved with compiling regardless of the target.

Note this is not building with AIR 31 to run on iOS 12, but using the platform switch to use iOS 12 SDK which is still in beta.

It is related to allowing ANE developers to write native code which is specific to the newer SDK.

So if I need to write ARKit 2 code I need to compile against iOS 12 SDK.

AIR is understandably still built with iOS11 SDK.

But each year there is a period of ~3months where we have to wait for AIR to be compliant. I was hoping that wouldn't be present this year.

Well, there was an update two days ago. Now might be a good time to ask. They used to have an update every two weeks, hopefully we'll get back to that.
