Air app Performances issues on Mojave Mac OS 10.14

Report · Nov 13, 2018

Hello,

We have a Mac OS application, signed with a digicert certificate, compiled with the Adobe AIR 31 runtime, we deploy on user computers through an .dmg archive. Since our users has updated to MAC OS Mojave our app encounters various performances issues.

Mainly the startup time of the app has changed from a few seconds to several minutes - we are thinking of some new security checks or scans done by Mojave on the AIR executable actions (filesystem, database, microphone, sysinformation, embed browser...)?

Any ideas how to investigate or similar issues to raise?

Many thanks in advance.

Interesting

I think we do something similar, but we've not tested on Mohave yet.

Just to confirm...

Do you publish as Mac App with AIR embedded, then digitally sign the application.

I'll need to double check our process, but I think we sign the application, then create an installer, which we also sign, and then put the file into a DMG for download.

This has worked OK in previous versions of OSX
