Hi,

Since iOS 8 it's possible to add extensions to iOS apps. (App Extensions - Apple Developer)

Will that feature come to Adobe Air?

Thanks

Someone is suggesting a workaround technique here that they say works:

Do I need to sign the plugin? I can't install the AIR iOS app after I added the PlugIn folder with the .appex.

I guess something is wrong with my App ID?

Hi,

I'm really interested in this feature as well. Have spent a bit of time attempting to get one running through a native extension but it doesn't appear to work. I believe something in the AIR build process is blocking the components required. I've tried several methods so far:

packaging the appex with an ANE
packaging the appex with the AIR container app
using a class instead of a storyboard

But nothing seems to be working. This is even before the app extension is doing anything. My guess is that the plist file specifying the app extension isn't correctly being included in the application but I have no idea how to update it to test.

Did you check the plist file after publishing the app? You can "unzip" the .ipa and files in the .ipa to look into it.

@Adobe Any word on this? Is it possible at all to include iOS extensions?

Yeah,

The plist for the extension isn't being included, but I'm not sure if that's the only issue.
