Hi, I developed an App and I published it on the Apple App Store about a month ago, when I was still using Adobe Flash CS5.

Now I bought the latest version of Adobe Flash, the CS5.5 and I want to upgrade my exiting app with the Retina Display support.

The problem is that when I try to upload my IPA into Application Loader, it gives me a strange error... it says that I can't upgrade my app because I'm using an higher mininumOSVersion......in fact Flash CS5 has got a 3.0/3.2 minum and the CS5.5 4.0/4.2........How can I change them and upgrade my app???

Please, help me it's for an important company...

bye and thanks

Here is my understanding of the updating rules for iOS apps. Once you publish an app targeting a specific OS, any further update to that app must target that OS. Since Flash CS5.5 only targets 2.6 and later, which has a dependency on iOS 4 or later, you are as you discovered stuck. I think you solution is to create a new version, "My Awesome App HD" and then publish via CS5.5 to get the performance and Retina support you want.

Yes Chrish, you're right... for my opinion too, the solution is to create a new version of the app, or maybe delete the current version and replace it with a new one called for example "myApp HD". The problem is that is not a personal opinion... is the company that is working with me that takes these decisions. They want to see THAT APP upgraded with the retina display.

Thank you all

Brandon,

I had exactly the same problem. I had to go back to CS5 and do the update. There was no way I could find to do the update in 5.5. I even tried publishing to standard resolution instead of high resolution, but still had the same problem.

I suggest resubmitting as a new app published in 5.5 or go back to CS5 and work on updates from there.

Sincerely,

Jim

Thank you Preacher for your reply... It's so strange... and It's a problem, because from the initial version on the app I had a lot of modifies and now the same project on the CS5 is so slooow.... are you sure that there is no way to fix this Adobe's bug?

Maybe a java script or something else like this?

Try by changing the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\AIR 2.6 to your older SDK and republish it. But I'm not sure with that. Give it a try.
