iOS 8 beta - AIR apps requesting Notifications privileges

When launching an app for the first time in iOS 8 beta, there is a warning to the user that "<app name> Would Like To Send You Notifications." These apps do not implement any notification functionality that I'm aware of. Is anyone else seeing this? This seems very familiar to the Microphone privileges bug when iOS 7 was released (Re: iOS 7 Issue).

Agree with gmcgee77, "...won't be released for three months. That's plenty of time for Apple or Adobe to fix the problem." Not for Adobe

Hi,

Are you using AIR SDK 15? The issue related to showing notifications on iOS 8 was fixed in AIR 15. Please see release notes @ Release Notes | Flash Player® 15 AIR® 15

Thanks

Any word on an ETA for when this is likely to be fixed? I need to submit an updated binary this week and this bug is a show-stopper as far as the client is concerned.

iOS 8 is only at beta 2, and won't be released for three months. That's plenty of time for Apple or Adobe to fix the problem. Any of your users who are on iOS 8 before then will only have to choose once whether to accept notificatons or not.

So you know, there are bigger issues with AIR and iOS 8! But it seems unesonable to suggest not submitting an app based on issues with a beta 2 of a future version of the OS.

You're completely right, under normal circumstances! This is a slightly complicated issue though, in that it requires an enterprise roll out that needs to be hitch-free on iOS 8 (yes, I know!)
