I need to include the Entitlement block for my iOS app, however when I do this the packager complains:

unexpected failure: null

java.nio.BufferOverflowException

My app descriptor Entitlement block looks like this:


<Entitlements>

<![CDATA[

<key>gett-task­-allow</key>

<true/>

<key>aps-­environment</key>

<string>development</string>

<key>application­-identifier</key>

<string>ACDE1234.asd.asd.asd</string>

<key>keychain-­access­-groups</key>

<array>

<string>ACDE1234.*</string>

</array>

]]>

</Entitlements>

My AIR version tag is the following:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.5">

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for reporting, could you please answer following questions.

  • Which AIR SDK version you're using? Has it ever worked with any other version of AIR SDK?
  • Could you please try it with latest AIR SDK released i.e. 3.7
  • If you remove the entitlement tag completely, does that get packaged sucessfully?
  • Are you using some tools or you're packaging on command line?
  • Could you please share the exact ADT command you're using.
  • Also, could you please share the entire application xml.

Thanks

Hi Pahup,

I have exactly the same behavior here (and same error message).

I tried with AIR 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8 but nothing works

If I remove the entitlement tag, it works.

I package using a batch file from command line.

The ADT command is

call adt -package -target ipa-debug %SIGNING_OPTIONS% %IPA_FILE% %APP_XML% %CACHE_DIR% %ICONS_DIR% config %SWF_FILE% -extdir %ANE_DIR%

My application XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8">

    <id>abc.abc.abc</id>

    <versionNumber>1.00</versionNumber>

     <filename>ABC</filename>

  <name>ABC</name>

  <initialWindow>

    <content>abc.swf</content>

    <visible>true</visible>

    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

    <aspectRatio>portrait</aspectRatio>

    <autoOrients>true</autoOrients>

    <systemChrome>standard</systemChrome>

    <transparent>false</transparent>

    <maximizable>true</maximizable>

    <minimizable>true</minimizable>

    <resizable>true</resizable>

  </initialWindow>

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Hi,

I noticed that this bug only occur when a "reserved keyword" is used within the entitlements block.

For example

<Entitlements><![CDATA[

    <key>get­-task-­allow</key>

    <true/>

</Entitlements>

bugs because get-task-allow is a reserved keyword for the iOS entitlements bu

<Entitlements><![CDATA[

    <key>get­-task-­allow2</key>

    <true/>

</Entitlements>

does not cause the bug because it does not recognize get­-task-­allow2 keyword.

Could you help me a little bit on the issue as this is quite critical and I am unable to find any workaround ?
