Error while packaging app for iOS - Undefined symbols for architecture armv7

[baconsandwichrob]

First time trying to package an AS3 Air app for development on iOS.

App works fine on Android and is available on the Google/Amazon store etc. The version I'm trying to package has all references to the ANE I use removed to simplify matters.

I'm using Flash Builder 4.7, AIR v4.0 and am developing on a Windows 8 PC.

When using fast packaging no error is thrown but the app just shows a black screen on my test Ipad (v3).

Using standard packaging I get the following error at 57%:

Error occurred while packaging the application:

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:

  "__Z15abcOP_nullcheckIPN7avmplus6AbcEnvEEvPNS0_9MethodEnvET_", referenced from:

Any help you can offer would be very welcome.

Please try with the latest AIR 15 build Download Adobe AIR 15 Beta - Adobe Labs as it contains many bug fixes for new fast packager. Let us know if you still face the issues.

Thanks for your reply Nimisha.

Can you please tell me how to install the AIR 15 beta in such a way that I can easily go back to the AIR 14 release so I may continue to develop builds for release safely. I do not want to release anything built with beta builds for obvious reasons. Thank you.

No need to answer the above (about installing the beta) I now understand the process and how to unroll it.

AIR 15 fixed my issue and my game now packages properly and runs on iOS. Thank you.

Thanks for confirming the fix. We would be happy to hear any feedback for the new fast packager(-useLegacyAOT no).
