Unable to publish AIR for IOS. CS6

Report · Dec 02, 2014

Hi all,

Recently i have been unable to publish any apps for iOS on Flash CS6. Whenever i click on the "Edit Application settings" spanner icon in Properties or File->Publish settings. The publish window doesn't open when i'm targeting AIR for IOS. I've tried this with the 3 AIR packages i have installed on my Mac Pro (Yosemite).

After trying to open the publish settings, if i close or open a new file, Flash crashes so i think Flash is bugging out because it's still trying to open the window. I have opened a fresh file and i can't open the publish settings. Opening a new file and copying over my layers also didn't change a thing.

The strange thing is that if i change the target to Desktop or Android, the publish window opens!

I have just uninstalled Flash CS6 and installed it again, installed the latest updates and nothing has changed so i've came online to ask for help.

I've attached a screenshot of my target developments. Again, none of the IOS target open the publishing window but if i choose AIR for Android or AIR for Desktop, the window does open.

Kind regards

Daniel

Update: I"ve updated the AIR SDK to 15 but no change!

Hi DanTheMan0809,

I am encountering exactly the same issue.

Could anybody help?

I do confirm that updating the AIR SDK does not change anything.

Many thanks,

Thibault

HI

I faced the same issue too.

I found a quick walk around is to move your .p12 and Provisioning profile file to somewhere else and the dialogue box will appear!

However after you have set the two files and publish the ipa, the problem comes back again and you have to shift the files to somewhere else and repeat the whole process.

Hi Aaron,

I did noticed when I attempted to create a new directory and copied the code and objects from the original project - I could publish AIR for IOS. 'Publish Settings' becomes unavailable after publishing it once and Flash crashes soon after.

LIke you said, it's not the solution or conveinent but its a work around.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi. I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. All issues came after the installation of OS Yosemite from Mavericks.

What OS do you have in your Macs?

Thanks

Hi Jordia, The problem for me hasn't been fixed since i posted in December!

Like you, the issue came for me after upgrading to OS Yosemite. I'm now on version 10.10.2 and using AIR 17.0..0.115. Aaron above posted a work around, what i do is duplicate the folder i keep the certificates for that AIR project and delete the original certificate folder. When you go to publish, the IOS publishing window will appear. Save the password for the todays session which will allow you to make changes to the app and create the .ipa file to test on your iOS device for the remainder of the day. If you close down Flash though, you'll have to duplicate your certificate folder and repeat.....

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Just want to let you know that this is a Flash CS6 only issue and it has already been addressed in Flash Professional CC. However you can fix this issue in Flash CS6 by

1. Launch Flash CS6 and open the file for which the 'Edit application settings' button is not working

2. Just rename the folder that contains the Certificate and Provisioning profile used in the file

3. Now click on the 'Edit application settings' button

>> 'Edit application settings' button works and the AIR for iOS Settings dialog is up

4. Under Deployment tab choose a valid Certificate and Provisioning profile

5 Click OK and save the file

6 Quit Flash CS6 and relaunch the application

>> The issue will be fixed and the 'Edit application settings' button will continue to work

Can you please try out the above steps and see if that helps?

Thanks!

I tried the above steps yesterday with an existing project by copying the certificates into a new folder and deleting the old but the AIR for IOS settings dialog does not open anymore. Today I've tried opening a new AIR project for IOS and this doesn't open the dialog either.

Flash CS6: 12.0.2.529.

OS: 10.10.2

AIR SDK: 17.0.0.115

Any other work arounds?

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Can you please try recreating the folder and just rename the folder containing the expired certificate? After this you may get access to the Edit application settings dialog in which you have to browse to a newer/valid certificate file and continue the steps mentioned in my earlier post.

Thanks!

Hi Mohan,

I tried your steps above but after finishing step 5 and reopening Flash CS6, the application settings buttons does not open the dialog page for AIR IOS. AIR for android works fine.

The steps you explained were the same work around i had been using and wrote in the post previous but once flash closes, the publish setting button doesn't work.

PS I tried your step on another Mac and got the same result.

Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I hope you were able to get the AIR for iOS Settings dialog after step 3 and you have provided a new/valid certificate in step 4. Also can you please let me know on what happens if you try to open the AIR for iOS Settings dialog immediately after step 4?

Thanks!

Hi Mohan,

Sorry it's taken so long to get back. Been trying for the last couple of week to get the IOS setting dialog to reappear on existing and new projects but it won't open. The last time we spoke, it worked once and it was using a valid certificate that doesn't expire until October this year. Today i'm starting a new project and the dialog box opened for this project but like before, flash gets stuck in the loop and doesn't open the dialog after publishing it the first time.

Any assistance you can offer is appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

Hi szewee,

I'm aware of the workaround but i'm looking for a fix so i don't need to change the certificate's directory every day, for every project i'm working on, when i want to test on a mobile device. Dialog box works fine with when i target Android and the certificate is valid but once the session closes, i can't enter in the certificates password without moving the certificates folder.

Thanks
