Get data from application descriptor file at runtime

[8power8]

Hi there,

For some reason I have to read some data out of the application descriptor file at runtime. Precisely, I am interested in the UIDeviceFamily tag which indicates whether the app is iPhone / iPod only or if runs on iPad too :

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>

<array>

<string>1</string>

</array>

I can access the <InfoAdditions> node which is the parent, but I can't go deeper :

var appDescriptor:XML = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationDescriptor;

var ns:Namespace = appDescriptor.namespace();

var iPhone:XML = new XML( appDescriptor.ns::iPhone );

var data:XML = new XML( iPhone.child(0) );

I think that's because the XML is not formatted correctly for the AS3 parser. I tried to use RegEx but I am not that good with those things 😞

var reg:RegExp = /.*?<key>UIDeviceFamily<\/key><array>(.*?)<\/array><key>UIPrerenderedIcon<\/key>/gi;

var s2:String = reg.exec( s1 )[1];

Any advice on this would be welcome !
