hi

i have devloped an ANE that connects to a bluetooth printer in order to print ,this ane was working perfectly until IOS 11 has been publish

now what i see in the log is that the printer connects but cant print
i updated the xCode to support ios 11 and updates the air to 27 and compiled the new ane

now when i try to publish the app i got this msg "

Error occurred while packaging the application:

Error: META-INF/ANE/iPhone-ARM/libCoreMobileAPI.a, META-INF/ANE/iPhone-ARM/libZebraChecker.a are required to have universal iOS libraries. Please contact the ANE developer(s) to get the same."

iam sure that i have chosen universal iOS when i build the .a file

anyone has solution or can give me hints what to do

thanks

ZebraPrinters 3.rar

This link above have the xcode for the ane iam trying to do i think the error is the air itself couse i dont get any error while i compile the .a file and i don't get an error when i create the ane i only get when i compile the ipa file

this is the descriptor to create the ane

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

<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/27.0">

<id>BlCheck.ZebraAneBLCheck</id>

<versionNumber>1.0.0</versionNumber>

<platforms>

<platform name="iPhone-ARM">

<applicationDeployment>

<nativeLibrary>libZebraChecker.a</nativeLibrary>

<initializer>cubecomDoitflashZebraPrinterExtensionInitializer</initializer>

<finalizer>cubecomDoitflashZebraPrinterExtensionFinalizer</finalizer>

</applicationDeployment>

</platform>

<platform name="default">

<applicationDeployment/>

</platform>

</platforms>

</extension>

The .rar file you linked does not contain a binary called 'libZebraChecker.a'. But it contains a binary 'libZebraPrintersExtension.a'

The extension descriptor XML however lists it with the former name.

Check if that is causing the problem.

I had a similar problem a few days ago, where I got the capitalization in the name of the binary wrong. In the descriptor XML I wrote 'binaryNameABC.a' and the actual file was 'binarynameabc.a'.

This gave me the same error message, indicating that the binary is not a universal one. It was a pain to find the cause because of the misleading error message. It seems whenever the name of the binary in the descriptor XML is wrong, you will receive an error that the binary is not a universal one.

I had the same when I tried to use iOS Deployment Target as iOS 11.

Xcode outputs an arm64 only lib with this setting.

To resolve:

Set your base SDK to iOS 11

Set iOS Deployment Target to iOS 10

Add @available directives around any iOS 11 only methods / vars

Set both Architectures and Valid Architectures to arm64, armv7 (Standard didn't work for me)

This should produce a .a lib which has both arches and therefore satisfy the universal library requirement.
