App Crashing after AIR 15 upgrade

Hi,

I've developed an app that I was about to submit to the App store.  I've just upgraded to AIR 15 and installed using rsync, following  instructions here.  I'm using Flash Builder 4.6.

I can create the ipa and run in debug mode, either on my mac or on my iphone 5 (running ios 7). But when I upload to TestFlight and then download onto my phone, the app crashes.  It opens, I see a white screen, and then it immediately closes.  When I check the crash test report on TestFlight, it doesn't show any crashes.

I'm trying to figure out if there is some setting that I have wrong.  I've set this line in my app descriptor:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/15.0">


When I tried to export a release build for android, I got this error:

/bin-release-temp/WordSlider-app.xml: error 102: Invalid namespace

http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/15.0


Anyone seen this or know what to do?

TIA

David

brighttext Can you try to build a version with the -useLegacyAOT yes? So you use the old legacy compile. I've had the same problem, when making a release version the app crashed on startup. But when making a version with the old compiler, it does work.

Timbowicz I can't see how to do that in the FB 4.6 IDE. It's not a Flex project; it's an actionscript project. The above link said to try


Project -> Properties -> Flex Build Packaging -> Apple iOS -> Customize Launch

So I'm looking for

Project -> Properties -> ActionScript Build Packaging -> Apple iOS -> Customize Launch   --  but there is no such thing. Pretty sure this isn't available in FB 4.6?

I had similar crashes with AIR 15, until I realized that the new compiler is now by default.

And the new compiler has some known issues: AIR compiler known issues

Now that I compile using the -useLegacyAOT=yes option (Re: unknown configuration variable 'useLegacyAOT'), everything works as before.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reporting the issue.

    However, we will need some more details about these errors or crashes for further investigation. It will be great if you could share your application with us.

    Best Regards,

    I haven't seen any beta releases after October 2nd on the site... do you know when the new beta with fixes will be available?


    I too have been experiencing the same crashing. Unfortunately, despite inserting a lot of try/catch statements at points where I thought it might raise the problem, no luck. And I haven't had the problem when I'm in the authoring environment, solely when the program is distributed to users. I have dropped back to 14 and that seems to have solved the crashing. I only wish I were more help in locating where the problem is but it's definitely happening to me (I was using the AIR 15 install from Apache Flex SDK Installer).
