Hello,

I'm working on a project that needs to be deployed in AIR 13 for desktop and AIR 31 for Android (because of Android permission politics changed).

Of course, when I import PermissionStatus class and try to package for AIR 13 I get an error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: PermissionStatus.

I'm wondering is there any way to ignore this error so packager removes this import by itself and I don't need to remove any MovieClips or Library instances manually before packaging for lower versions of AIR SDKs?

TNX in advance.

Hi.

Use conditional compilation.

Like this:

CONFIG::AIR_IS_RECENT // Don't use 'if' for checking imports because 'if' is for runtime
{
    trace("air is recent");
    import flash.permissions.PermissionStatus;
}

JC

Already tried, but without success.

The problem is, as I see it, the compiler firstly imports all the classes and after that it executes the code. Since try-catch is code side, it cannot prevent import.
