Can't build 64 bit apk for AIR 33

[professorM]

I'm using Flash Builder, OS X 10.14.6. I tried using the added -arch armv8 launch parameter to build but it won't build so I modified adt.cfg (DefaultArch=armv8 & OverrideArch=armv8)

All I see in the package is a armeabi-v7a folder.

Ah, found the problem... I went to see the command FB is building. Notice -d32. FB is forcing a 32-bit build. I have no idea how to change that. I guess I'll just copy the command line and build manually.

/usr/bin/java -d32 -jar /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK/lib/adt.jar -package -target apk-captive-runtime -arch armv8 -storetype pkcs12 -keystore /Users/cccc/Documents/Test33/certificat_android.p12 -storepass <Value cannot be displayed> Test33.apk Test33-app.xml Test33.swf

Are you following the AIR 33 release notes? https://airsdk.harman.com/assets/pdfs/Release_Notes_AIR_SDK.pdf

FB is the problem, not AIR 33. FB is unusable.

Can you not configure Flash Builder to build using 64 bit instead?

I'm struggling with this one, too.

I looked deeper and the -d32 seems to be a Unix part of the build.

I'm on Windows and still seeing just a 32-bit output... no matter what I do.

I am getting "access is denied" when I tried to use this command. Not sure why.

I realize that this may not be the answer that you want, but you may want to consider switching to IntelliJ. I haven't really been following FlashBuilder, but it's my impression that Adobe isn't really supporting it. I switched to IntelliJ several years ago, and I've been pretty happy with it. It's a bit of a time investment to switch one's projects over, but not too bad. And the cost of the license is, IMO, money well spent.

[Gaius_Coffey]

More than happy to switch (I use IntelliJ for other things, anyway) provided I can get my projects working!

Is there an AIR / Flex module available? 
(Yes, I will google it now!)

[Douglas McCarroll]

You can select Flash when you create a new project, then select Web, Desktop or Mobile.

You've probably already found this  🙂   but ...

Slight learning curve, and a fair bit of googling later, that's up and running with IntelliJ... kinda...

As in... 

Well, I'm no worse off than I was!

I have it compiling and running in debug perfectly, but I am still only seeing a 32-bit package.

I did some googling and it looks like there is a compiler arg of -arch arm8 or -arch armv8 that will need to go somewhere.

Any clues?

[Douglas McCarroll]

I assume that you are familiar with IntelliJ "modules" and their "build configs".

The build config will have an "Android" tab for (surprise!) android-specific settings.

Look for "Architecture: "

[Douglas McCarroll]

PS - I find it convenient to create 4 build-configs for each module, one for each combination of a) armv7 and armv8, and b) "on" and "off" settings for "Generate debuggable SWF" (on the Compiler Options tab)

Thanks, it's all slightly different to the stuff I'm used to, so I'm feeling my way.

But - yes, I'm there!

Thanks,
