Should we start to worry or not ?

Guys,

As an Apple developer, I just received a newsletter stating that :

"Starting February 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5 and iOS 7 SDK"

https://developer.apple.com/ios7/ --> have a look at the last paragraph

So should we be concerned about this or not ? What do tou think ?

Correct answer nimitja

apple cant ban any adobe air app because it have identical to xcode binary format. How they was appeared its not restricted anymore.

You all talking about simple air xcode update like its end of the life :) Dont panic. This was done from 4.0 to 5.0, from 5.0 to 6.0 and this will be done from 6.0 to 7.0

Pretty sure it just means they won't accept things unless built against the ios7 SDK, just as they did the same when ios6 took aver from ios5.


AIR already builds against the ios7 sdk. Remember on a MAC if building natively and you want to use ios7 you have no choice but to use xcode5, hence the message in the email. As long as you a re building against iOS7 SDK, which AIR does, should be fine.

Tried that and I get the following message

"The version of the target Adobe AIR SDK is 4.0.0.1619. Only SDK higher than version 4.0.0.1619 may be added."


This discussion is quite old now, and the advice to get build 1619 is from a month ago. Now you would either want to get the release version, from here:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

which is build 1628, or get the current one from labs:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html

The main difference between the release one, which already fixed the issues talked about in this thread, and the labs one is that the labs one also fixes issues to do with submitting apps to the Mac App Store. Its build number is quite confusing though, and says it is 13.0.0.42. No idea why it jumped from AIR 4 to AIR 13.

The file linked in this thread is 1619, and you don’t really want that one anymore.
