I've just downloade AIR 3.9 SDK & Compiler for Windows (ZIP, 204 MB). In the realease not it says

  • XXHDPI (144x144) Icon Support – Android - With this feature we have added support for beautiful, high resolution icons on devices such as the Nexus 10

Unfortunately in publish settings of my Flasch CC there are still only 3 small icons available, up to 72x72.

Am I missing something? How to get the 144x144 icon?

I did as you said. But it is showing

Error creating files

Icon file is missing


Hi guys, this works for BOTH Android and iOS, lets put some order:

- The missing icons have to be added to the xml descriptor.

- The descriptor has to be kept read-only so that flash will not mess with it.

- The missing icons ONLY, not the other icons, have to be added to the included files one by one. Not a folder.

- Do not include also the icons that flash can manage, or it will trigger a conflict and refuse to publish.

HINT

Keep 2 separate copies of the manifest, one for Android and one for iOS, and just copy/paste them in the descriptor file when you need them (anyway, switching between iOS and Android in the AIR publish panel, will ERASE some data from the other platform (you have to manually re-enter icons and app id everytime you switch between the 2 publish methods, quite a stupid behavior from a 500 euros piece of software, this leads to errors quite often). But if you just copy/paste the right manifest, then put it read-only again, Flash will not mess with it and you can finally realiably have some standard steps to follow.

Extra icons:

iOS:

    <image120x120>_icons/ios/120-iOS.png</image120x120>

    <image76x76>_icons/ios/76-iOS.png</image76x76>

    <image152x152>_icons/ios/152-iOS.png</image152x152>

Android:

    <image96x96>_icons/android/96x96.png</image96x96>

    <image144x144>_icons/android/144x144.png</image144x144>

These files only have to be amnually added to include list.

If, like me, you export for both platforms, it will be convenient just to keep all 5 of them added.

Hope this helped.

There is to be a Flash Pro update quite soon, that knows about the 96x96 icon. It doesn’t know about the 144x144 icon, but when you publish with AIR 3.9, Flash Pro will no longer delete the 96x96 and 144x144 icons, that you will have added to the app descriptor file.

Latest version of FlashPRO still deletes both 96 and 144 icons.

As of 24th october 2013.

Downloaded and installed the latest 3.9 Beta SDK today also on Mac Flash Pro CS6 still deletes the 76 and 152 icons which are needed for iPad.
