Native Application installer for mac

Hi all,

I am using Flash Builder 4.5 and adobe air 2.7

I want to bundle Adobe Air Installer along with my application(.app file ) for mac. I followed the instructions mentioned in the link

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html#WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-7ffc

But with the .app file, I am getting the message

"The application could not be installed because the installer file is  damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application  author."

then i checked with .air file and it works fine.

Is there any limitation with .app files? If yes, then what we should do to bundle the .app with adobe air installer.

Any suggestion in this regard would be great.

Regards

Sumeet Kumar

Hi Sumeet,

Unfortunately we don't have support for sidecar installs with native installers at this time.  I've seen this come up before but when I searched the ideas.adobe.com site I couldn't find a specific feature request.  We are aware that there is interest in this feature, but I'd like to encourage you to add a post to the ideas.adobe.com page or over at bugbase.adobe.com and let others know so we can vote on it.

Thanks,

Chris

I have the same problem than Sumeet Kumar. We're working with an app that uses the embedded runtime and installs an .air.

However now we need to use Native Process, and we must switch to a native application (.exe and .dmg) using runtime 2.7.

Was this ever solved? Any bug or request we can vote for?
