Question

The "air." prefix does not apear in my app.xml

Hi

I am publishing an app for the Amazon store using the Flash Pro CS6.

after I publish my app I noticed  that the is no  "air." prefix in the <id> tag in my app.xml.  The "air." prefix is a default in the Flash Pro CS6 publish settings and cannot be changed.

Should I add the "air." prefix to my app ID in the amazon store or should it be exactly the same as my <id> in the app.xml file? (without the "air.")

What about the Play Store?

Why did Adobe put the hard-coded prefix?

Thanks...

Aviv

I'm using AIR 3.6

You don't add the air part, that's done automatically. I believe it was put there so that it was possible for Adobe to know which apps in the stores were AIR apps. You are able to opt out from the scheme by following this article:

Thank You Colin,

Let me see if I understand it correctly.

Adobe puts a air. prefix for some reason in the publish process. But the prefix doesn't apear in the app.xml and I don't need to add it to my app id when I register my app in the Play and Amazon stores? In previos apps I used to add the air. prefix in the Google Play store, but you say it was not nessecery?

BTW, I don't mind being followed by Adobe or reveal to the world my apps are using AIR.

You generally don't type app ids when uploading to the stores. So, whoever is in the apk is what is used. The ID in the xml does not have "air" at the start, so, I don't know when it gets added, but it doesn't involve me at all.
