OUTLINE

I am having an problem with v2.5 of the AIR update framework using the Adobe article linked below.

Building in Flash CS5.5

ERROR

The error printed in the example's UI is:

"Error ID: 0. unknown update version"

The error traced in Flash (5.5) with trace("onStatusUpdateError", event.errorID, event.subErrorID, event.text), is:

"onStatusUpdateError 16815 0 unknown update version"

Has anyone got this working with 2.5, or 2.6 please? I would be equally happy if someone showed it working in 3.x, too.

Thank-you

DETAILS


I am following the section on v 2.5 in this article:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html#articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader_3

I have successfully use the v1.5 update framework as described in the article.

I have read about and used the Update descriptor file changes in the adobe article.

This is my descriptor file:

Hi Simon

The error above suggests you might be using an applicationupdater.swc/swf that does not know about the 2.5 update namespace. If you are updating from an application already deployed with AIR 2.5 or later, you may be including the wrong version of the update framework in your project. Try getting the application updater swc from the AIR 2.5 or 2.6 runtime, and using that.

If you already have an application out there, deployed with AIR 2.0 or earlier, which you want to update, you should follow the steps in this guide.

Thanks,

Horia,

you're a genius! I was using the latest swc I had from Flashbuilder 4. I changed it to the one included in Flashbuilder 4.6 and it all worked.

(Interesting that there's no clear way of knowing which swc is which, when it comes to AIR versions.)

Thank-you!

I am having the same problem as simon_lucas although my config is slightly different:

FlashBuilder 4 with SDK 4.6, Current app is with SDK 2.5.

Trying to update with SDK 3.2, I double-checked per Horia Olaru that I do use the application updater swc:

         <path-element>D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0 - Air 3.2\frameworks\libs\air\applicationupdater.swc</path-element>

         <path-element>D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0 - Air 3.2\frameworks\libs\air\applicationupdater_ui.swc</path-element>

But I still have the 16815 error.

If I change the update.xml to be <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">

instead of <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/3.2">, I am proposed to download the new app and then I get an error 16824.

Please HELP!

No answers? Should this go in the Flash forum?

I haven't run into this error before.  I'll forward this to the team that develops the updating framework for their review.
