Question

Flash CC publish to Nexus 4 doesn't work

Hi all,

I'm a newbie when it comes to mobile development, but I have a lot of experience with AIR for desktop.

I have a Google Nexus 4 and cannot get Flash CC to publish to it for a simple test. First I found that Flash CC couldn't find the device at all because it lacked the necessary drivers, and the ones provided with Flash CC were not accepted by Windows 7. I was able to find what seems to be the correct driver (Universal ADB driver) online here: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH

After installing that, Flash CC was able to list my device in the AIR publish settings. I have USB debugging enabled on my Nexus 4, but when I go to publish it just gets to an indertimined progress bar that says "Publishing..." and never completes. If I cancel it, Flash CC freezes and must be killed.

The publish settings I'm using are:

AIR 3.6 for Android

Android deployment type: Debug - Default

AIR runtime: Get AIR runtime from: Google Play (I have AIR installed on the Nexus 4)

After publishing

- Install application on the connected Android device

- - Launch application on the connected Android device

- - - [Presumably my device selected... it's a string of random characters]

On the Nexus 4 I have turned on Developer options > USB debugging, I have it plugged in and on.

Am I missing something?

Could you please try updating your AIR version to the latest 3.7. I believe that should fix your issue.

How exactly do I install the latest SDK into Flash CC? I tried adapting this AIR 3.4 for Flash CS6 help document:

And it didn't work at all... Flash CC still lists 3.6, and not 3.7, and additionally trying to select 3.6 crashes Flash.

This helped me get the AIR 3.7 SDK installed:

However, I still have the exact same problem. Flash CC hangs endlessly on "Publishing..." when I try to install/launch on device.
