Question

application update problem after switching to air 2.6 sdk

Hello all,

Until now I compiled my air app with the Air 2.5 sdk.

Accordingly, my update.xml file used the following namespace: <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">

And the adobe update mechanizem worked great!

Now I want to switch to Air 2.6 sdk.

My compilation works, but when I switch the namespace to: <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.6">

I don't get an update.

When I ran the application in debug mode (FB4), I noticed the following error in my console: "updater error unknown update descriptor namespace".

Why does is not recognze the 2.6 namespace? Can anyone think of a reason for why this happens?

p.s

If I switch the namespace back to 2.5, I get the update window, but it fails to update (understood since the app is now compiled with the 2.6 sdk)

I believe you'll want to keep your updater xml set to 2.5.  I'm using this on an app built with 2.6, though I admit that it took a bit of trial and error on my part.  What error message do you get when you do run against 2.5?  Do you mind posting the contents of your update.xml file?

Thanks,

Chris

I get "Download failed" and "There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16824"

The update.xml (after I changed it back to 2.5 namespace):

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

<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">

<versionNumber>0.9.924</versionNumber>

<url>[url to product name]</url>

</update>

What do you mean that it took some trial and error? how did you make it work?

And also, isn't this a bug? it makes sense to me that an app compiled with the 2.6 sdk will need the 2.6 namespace

I just tested another scenario:

If I make another version of my app (with the 2.6 sdk) and update from the previous version of my app (also built with the 2.6 sdk), I update successfully (still when using the 2.5 namespace in the update.xml and not the 2.6... but whatever).

So it seems that the problem is updating from an app compiled with 2.5 sdk to one complied with the 2.6.

Could this be?!

I did not run into this problem when I updated my app from the 2.0 sdk to the 2.5 sdk.
