Question

How to set MinimumOSVersion iOS Flash CS5.5

Hi,

I thought I was finally ready to submit my app to the app store but then I realised I never saw anywhere to set the MinimumOSVersion for my app using Flash CS5.5, I need to set it to 5.1

I have done alot of searching and brought up some old threads about manually changing the Info.plist file by unzipping it on a mac then re code signing it back together again. (nightmare)

Is this still the case as the below threads are a bit old? Is there any other way to do this? Or is this still the only way to set the MinimumOSVersion using Adobe Air on Flash CS5.5. This seems to be a huge thing missing from Air? Will Adobe ever make this easy or is it Apples fault.

Surely we can edit some Air 3.2 core files that set the MinimumOSVersion in the first place. I did do a quick check by unzipping and it seems Adobe Air is magically targeting iOS 4.0

If anyone has any idea if its possible to edit the core Air 3.2 files so that it targets iOS 5.1 that would be a great help and probabaly easier than dissecting my .ipa file.

Here are the below related threads.

The problem case used to be that the app was build with iOS 3.0, and so iPad only apps complained about not being set to 3.2. What is your usage case for requiring 5.1?

Hi,

Thanks for a speedy reply.

My app is basically a hybrid app (web app in a native container) When I was testing, the scrolling in my app did not work on iOS4 and the whole app was very slow but on iOS5.1 it was fine and very quick. I’m guessing the safari version made the difference.

I know it will get rejected if I submit it as they will test on iOS4 which doesn’t work well at all and I don’t want users using it on iOS4 as it’s a bad experience. I know I am probably going to reduce my installs if it’s only for iOS5.1 but its only a free App and I don’t see any option if on iOS4 it’s pretty much broken.

I really hope there’s an easy way or my last month’s work has been pretty much pointless.
