One huge question: is the manual process of creating an Assets.car file required in AIR30+? Thanks ... View more

Thanks but I'm not clear what I'm supposed to do... is this not documented?  I can't find anything with the AIR release notes... please advise. Minus docs, please answer my questions: I go to Generate ios、android app ICON and Assets.car online  and create the Assets.car and all my png files. 1: It says to put the Assets.car "in the root dir of the project".  Is this where my main app (.as file) is?  Is it the bin folder?  Do I need to add the resources to my app somehow before building? 2: It says "copy icons to ios project and edit Info.plist.  Is that to say, make sure my app.xml has an entry: <icon> <image16x16>assets/icons/icon_16.png</image16x16>   etc??? Or do I just put the pngs in the root of my source?  Or maybe I should include the resources before packaging. 3. Finally, it says to "set CFBundleIconName": <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>AppIcon</string> I think I did that part right--I put it under: <iPhone>         <InfoAdditions><![CDATA[ Thanks! ...

I've tried publishing with AIR 30 on a new install of windows 10.  Made the signing request on the new machine... same results with App Loader. I didn't do anything to this windows machine in regards to the AppleWWDRCA.cer I just want to research a little more first. Still blocked.  I'll open an incident with Apple and see if they can inspect the .ipa ... View more

Thanks but I'm still stuck.  I'm running out of ideas and I really don't want to point to AIR as the cause, but this is where I'm at: I can use AIR 28 and build my iOS app on Windows 10 using Flash Builder 4.7... then I can upload okay through App Loader (with yellow warning, not red errors blocking submission).  However, it never appears in my builds via appstoreconnect.  I know it uploads my AIR 28 build because if I create a new build with the same subversion number, it squawks as me about being a redundant build. Also, when I build with AIR 30 (see below) I never get that message because I can never successfully upload through App Loader.  The build never appears in appstoreconnect but I do get an automated email from apple: We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Viva Learning Mobile". Please correct the following issues, then upload again. Missing Asset Catalog - Your app is missing the asset catalog file in 'Viva Learning Mobile.app'. For more information see http://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev10510b1f7. Though you are not required to fix the following issues, we wanted to make you aware of them: Certificate Expired - The signing certificate "CN=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority, OU=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations, O=Apple Inc., C=US" with serial number 25 used to sign Viva Learning Mobile.app has expired. Learn more (https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev154b28f09). I understand that's been addressed in AIR 30.  So, when I build with AIR 30, I'm back to where I was--this error right in App Loader (before it can even post to appstoreconnect): I have carefully created a different set of certificates and provisioning profiles and done all this on mac.  I also looked at the link you provided regarding read/write... but that's all on the mac, and in the past I've been fine (and sort of fine now with AIR 28) and use win10 to build and sign and then just use the mac to use App Loader. Please try to answer my question: I can follow Apple's instructions for putting the latest WWDR Intermediate Certificate Expiration - Support - Apple Developer  certificate on my machine (that was part of me trying to resolve this using only mac).  But, how does that apply on Windows?  I can download the AppleWWDRCA.cer... double click it to install (not sure which store I should use--my current user, or all users).  I assume that after I do that, I need to make the signing request again etc.  I'm concerned my certificate store is in some kind of state that's causing my problems.  I would appreciate very much any comments on building/signing on Windows 10 and AIR 30.   Thanks very much! ...

I'll do anything at this point Yes. I have an iOS Distribution certificate which I happen to sign with a signing request from my windows machine.  (I did test and got the same results on mac however--and, definitely, each time I start over by creating the certificate at developer.apple and signing it from the appropriate machine, etc.) I convert the certificate to a .p12 file. I also have an iOS Distribution Provisioning Profile. This is the process I've been using for several years.  Like I say, I can use AIR28 but I get a different issue. One thing please: how do I re-sign an ipa on my mac?  I'm ready and eager to resolve this so I'll be super responsive. Thanks, Phillip POSSIBLE SIDE TRACK APPLE ROLES (probably a moot issue): When I encountered problems I initially thought it might be due to Apple's change from itunesconnect to appstoreconnect.  And, the related odd rules for roles on other teams.  Specifically, it USED to be (like earlier this summer) that a developer (me) could have an apple ID and log into developer.apple.com and have access to certificates for each of the teams I'm on (my clients).  But... when going over to itunesconnect, using the same login, I'd only see my personal apps.  To gain access to my customer's he'd have to invite me using a DIFFERENT apple id.  On top of this, appstoreconnect no longer has the role assigned to me (technical).  Anyway, after this problem started he did invite me with the correct apple id and I can now select the appropriate team when in appstore connect (or app loader for that matter) and I do have access to his apps. Anyway, like I mention above, I really don't think my issue is on Apple's end because with AIR28 I don't encounter this issue (alas, I encounter another issue and it's never going to get past Apple's approval if I don't use AIR30, so that's moot really). ...

Okay but it doesn't make sense to have a lower number.  The issue I have with the new implementation is that there's no way to set your "build" to anything except the form XXX.XXX.XXX.  That is, it's impossible (as far as I know) to have this: My app version 1.0.1 (beta1) where the (Apple) version is "1.0.1" and the build is "beta1". IDEALLY, when both <versionNumber> and <versionLabel> are used,  the compiler should not object to arbitrary strings in the <versionNumber> node as that is what gets used for "build"... and "builds" are not required to follow that form (xxx.xxx.xxx). Thanks ... View more

It's very odd how it's implemented and there's definitely something inaccurate in the comments for the app.xml file.  Anyway, here's the way I made it work: If you don't define a value for <versionLabel> then the provided value for versionNumber will be used in both places (in what Apple calls the version as well as the build). If you do provide a value for <versionLabel>... a) make sure you follow the numbering rules b) make sure your version NUMBER is higher than versionLabel c) realize that your versionLabel becomes what Apple calls version and your versionNumber is what they call a build.

Well, yes. Doing what you say, puts you at the end of the line.  But it's possible to, while "waiting for review" to update a new binary--SAME version but different build.  That is, the "bundle short version string" is the version number, where if only the "bundle version string" is changed Application Loader WILL let you have two binaries with the same version.  Then you just select a different one--and this should not upset your place in line. Does that make sense? ... View more

I would very much like to know this too.  I cannot replace a binary that's "waiting for review".  If I change the version number, I have to remove my application and create a new one (thus putting me at the "end of the line").  If you want to select a different binary, you can do this without losing your place in line.  However, the "build" number must be different. Hopefully there's an easy solution. ... View more

Generally, I feel like you're doing very well.  I don't know if you need a huge support infrastructure.  However, I do think the sample code you've produced is fine for me--but it's a bit of a chore for a couple reasons (none of which are show stoppers): --.as files don't have correct newline/carriage return to look nice in notepad on Windows. --they're all reliant on flex. Documentation is otherwise pretty good! Support via email is great but probably not super manageable from your perspective. ... View more

Awesome!  I got used to the new useLegacyAOT thing very fast.  In the meantime, I have to decide whether to remove all my ANEs and test or sit through an interminable build sequence.

I am pretty sure it's testing correctly now as long as I use no PNG files. I'll try to post a nice bug if my requirements change or I have time.  Also, I can look more carefully at LoaderContext and allowCodeImport (though the docs make that sound only connected to .swf). Ollie, did the greensock code let you load PNGs? ... View more

no official date--but what's more risky is that they haven't said they'll implement the fix.  Apparently they do have a fix--but, like always, there's a risk to put it in... so I've not heard that they will.  MY bugs always seem so important--but this one really is a basic functionality that is lacking.  FWIW, it works in AIR3.1 so, if you don't mind it crashing on Kindle Fire, it might work fine in 3.1.  The "captive runtime" feature makes this really nice (instead of targeting whichever version of AIR the user has). Not to push my buddy's company--but re-encoding as .flv was a pretty quick task as I was using videorx.com.  If you have your own compression settings and a machine set aside to do renders I suppose you probably don't need videorx.com but it DOES do a great job at interpreting footage--plus, for me, it was very convenient to just re-encode everything with just a few clicks.  The hardest part was just tracking all the files.  ...

Naw--it's whack.  I tried by adding 1 second to each video, then after a couple dozen I found it wasn't consistent.  I was about to log all the durations... add FIVE seconds to each, and then use my hardwired (logged) values and handle it that way.  Then, I just backed off and decided to use .flv (VP6) videos.  Works fine.  But, still, it's whacked.  You can read more details here (but you won't see a workaround): https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3162442 Do post if you figure anything out!  FWIW, I'm just targetting AIR 3.2 because at least there's a chance Adobe will fix it--where, they can't fix AIR 3.1 crashing on Kindle.  ...

Thanks John--but Kindle doesn't support StageVideo.  My plan on this project is just to use CPU video on Android because--besides Kindle, there is at least one Android tablet which reports to support StageVideo (StageVideoAvailability.AVAILABLE) but doesn't actually work--namely, the galaxy tab 7+.  Because these videos are so small I'm not bothering with StageVideo (on Android).  According to my tests it's just not ready for prime time. Regardless I'm curious if there's some workaround to that crash.  ... View more

I guess it's good that it fails as I describe. I'll bet you can make the kindle crash too.  I'd  prefer to use the 3.2 version incase other things come up--at least I'd have the latest version.  But, videos ending early isn't going to work for me.  I should note: it's not just the "NetStream.Play.Stop" that occurs early, but the video won't play through.   Anyway, I'm just looking for a workaround/fix for now.   ... View more

Thanks for testing Colin. You sure the video plays through on the 3.2 version?  I should have put the transcript of the video: "the safest place to walk is on the sidewalk, if there is a sidewalk use it" When I play the 3.2 version it skips the ending "...use it" When I play the 3.1 version it will crash after a few tries (every time you click it starts a new video... so click a few times and it will eventually crash--on Kindle) I should add, I get this behavior (the last second or two missing) for any video (in AIR 3.2/Android) ...

RichardLord; I'd like to hear your exact process as I will go try this week on a mac.  For whatever reason acrowne doesn't seem to have it working--so maybe there are more details.  Do you use the SWF directive like: [SWF(width="1024", height="768")]? Also--and this is probably a different topic--but wouldn't you get the best performance if you took your vector graphics and make bitmaps (scaled properly for the target)?  Maybe that's just not worth the pain--but I'd think it'd improve performance. Yes, I think we're stuck on the icon sizes.  Hopefully Adobe can come up with a patch soon.  The fact RichardLord can make it work makes me believe it's possible for adobe to update the magic stuff that makes it possible to deliver in the first place. ... View more

I've done some tests now and believe RichardLord has mapped a solution--but I'm curious the EXACT behavior.  I can see using the current 3.1 out of the box (with CS5.5 or FlashBuilder) the 1024x768 is just stretching and certain pixel images can definitely look worse on iPad3 than iPad2--which is scaled at 1.0.  For bitmap images the scaling with smoothing works fine.  I guess my thought is some projects don't require you take full advantage of the new size.  I'd like to know the answers to a couple concerns: --if I wait at least until I have a mac to test on what is the EXACT behavior?  Can you  reliably grab the stage.stageWidth?   Using the current tools it gives me 1024.  --I have projects where I'm recycling previously scaled graphics--as small as 800x600.  I've been planning on scaling them myself using smoothing.  I suppose if stage.stageWidth works as I expect it'll be easy. I'm not ready to convert to mac but think I need to order at least a mac mini. ... View more
