Is it still possible to package an AIR 2.0.2 application for iOS?
I am trying to use AIR to package an app for the older iOS hardware that AIR 2.6 doesn't support. However, I seem to be at a bad place in the product lifecycle and I can't figure out how to get anything onto my device.
The original pipeline for AIR->iOS was to compile a swf using Flex 4.0.1/AIR 2.0.2 and then use pfi (Packager for iPhone) to make the app. But Adobe has taken down the PFI page on Labs, and the archived version of AIR 2.0.2 does not include pfi. So it looks like the command-line adt from AIR 2.6 is my only option. But I can't get it to make a package that my second-gen iTouch understands.
What I am doing is using mxmlc to compile a swf for Flex 4.1 (which is pointed at AIR 2.0.2) and Flash Player 10. Then I give it to adt with an app descriptor that specifies 2.0 as the AIR namespace. This produces an ipa without any errors, but my iPod rejects the app with the same message it uses when I try to give it a 2.6 app : "This application is not compatible with this iPod." So it looks like the newer build tool only wants to make the newer kind of ipa and doesn't respect the specified namespace.
Am I out of luck here or is there still some way to do this?
