Air 24 beta home made ANE "is not a valid native extension file"

[guillaumePili]

Hi,

We updated our air sdk to the new beta version (24). But now the app compilation fail with this message :

......\ant\ext\myAne.ane is not a valid native extension file.

We were previously on the version 22 and all worked fine. I tried with the release version 23 and it's working too.

Do you have any idea about what could cause this problem ?

Thx

Hi,

The problem is still here with the lastest version of air (24.0.0.177) and I can't compile my application. Anybody ? What could cause my ane to become invalid by updating the air sdk ?

What should I look at ?

Thx

Hello Mayank,

Thank you for your answer. I created a sample project and got the same error. You can download the project source here : Dropbox - project.zip

Thanks Guillaume for sharing the sample project, this issue is reproducible at our end by your sample project but while investigating we observe the following errors in packaging the app -

ld: framework not found SaveThatWave

Compilation failed while executing : ld64

Are you also facing this error or in which build your project working fine or is it iOS or Android specific, could you please share some more information so it will be helpful for us to work on that issue.

Sorry about that,

I forgot to include 2 frameworks needed by the ane for iOS that we add in the air SDK  (in the folder \lib\aot\stub). You can get them here : Dropbox - frameworks.zip

The bug is indeed iOS specific.

[Mayank_Gupta]

Thanks for sharing frameworks files, this issue is reproducible now at our end and we are further investigating it.

If you need another example of this, I experienced the same problem on iOS with Air24, but could package fine with Air23 (which is what I had to do). I was using the latest Chartboost ane from here : Download & Integrate the Chartboost SDK for Adobe AIR – Chartboost Help Site

I also confirm that AIR 24 is breaking at least our Google VR ANE! The ANE is available on Github if you need it as another example having this problem: googleVR.ane is not a valid native extension file · Issue #15 · myflashlab/GoogleVR-ANE · GitHub 

It works fine if you compile it with AIR 23.

UPDATE: We re-packaged the ANE using AIR SDK 24 and now it compiles fine with 24 with no problem.

However, that would have been nice to know what was breaking "some" ANEs in AIR 24. Thanks.

We have fixed this issue, please try to use latest AIR SDK 25 Beta build from - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html.
