Air update framework issue

Hi,

Im working on integrating the air update framework on an existing flex app.

The problem I'm facing is that the air update framework ui window shows blank, with a (default blue?) background.

There is no interaction, the only thing I can do is to close the window.

On the flex console I can see the traces from the framework, in which it states that there is an update:

UPDATER: [UpdateEvent (type=initialized)]

UPDATER: [StatusUpdateEvent (type=updateStatus available=true version=0.0.1 details=,Latest release of the test updater app )]

My config file for the updater is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/configuration/1.0">

  <url>http://www.mysite.com/airupdater/update.xml</url>

   <delay>1</delay>

   <defaultUI>

       <dialog name="checkForUpdate" visible="false" />

       <dialog name="downloadUpdate" visible="true" />

       <dialog name="downloadProgress" visible="true" />

       <dialog name="installUpdate" visible="true" />

   </defaultUI>

</configuration>

Then, the update.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<version>0.0.1</version>
<description>
<![CDATA[,Latest release of the test updater app]]>
</description>
</update>
My test app has a version of 0.0.0
Its an 1.5.3 air app, compiled with the 3.6 flex sdk, and the applicationupdater_ui.swc from 3.6 as well.

Forwarding along to the team responsible for the Updater Framework.  I haven't seen reference to a blank window before.  In addition, you might want to take a look at the following document (if you haven't already).

Using the Adobe AIR Update Framework

hi Chris,

Thanks for the link. I did read that post while researching on the framework.

I was able to get around the issue by using ApplicationUpdater instead of ApplicationUpdaterUI. Not sure what was the issue, but atm I'm happy that I found a working solution.

This was an issue with the Update Framework in AIR SDK 1.5.3, which has been fixed. If you still want to use the ApplicationUpdaterUI, you can replace the swc in Flex SDK 3.6 with an applicationupdater_ui.swc from a newer version of AIR.

Have a look at solution 3 in this post for some details on where to find the applicationupdater_ui.swc and how to replace it.
