Question

App is a Blank Screen on iOS devices (AIR 22.0.0.153). What is going on?

When I install my app (for testing) on my iOS device I get a blank, white screen. This happens on the following devices:

1) iPhone 6 plus S - iOS 9.3.3

2) iPad Pro - iOS 9.3.3

3) iPhone 4 - iOS 7.1.2

Here is my app profile

  • I'm using Adobe Air 22.0.0.153
  • I'm using Animate to compile my app
  • Flash Develop for my code.
  • I'm also using Starling 2.0.1.
  • Windows 10

Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

Hi, without having a look at your code, I would give the hint to find out if this is a package problem or a code problem. Remove all your code from the main and just draw a small red square and see if it shows up on the screen. If it does, then there is a problem in your code, if not, there is a problem in your application.xml

//inside the Main constructor:

graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);

graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 50, 50);

graphics.endFill();

    I fixed it by moving everything into the Flash Develop. I compiled everything there and it worked.
