This is not AIR issue ^) It's your isse. Don't include all images that you see.

Firstly it show Default.png than Default-Landscape.png than Default-LanscapeRight.png and so on. May be in other order.

Simple use 1 splash screen file. Not all at once. Try upload one Default-Landscape.png

did you know the .png needs to always be in portrait demensions regardless of app orientation? meaning a landscape splash screen would be made in portrait with the artwork flipped 90 degrees.

(width always less that height is what i mean to say)

woops sorry about that, I remembered needing to turn my png for the phone but didnt check my ipad splash size before posting.

thanks colin

Hi , can you tell me if you are specifically using iPhoneOS 5.0 sdk to package this ipa ? 

Ok I investigated it a bit more and it looks like the problem is in adobe AIR SDK 3.1.

I downloaded 3.0 version from here:

http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.0/AdobeAIRSDK.zip

and 3.1 from here:

http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.1/AdobeAIRSDK.zip

and used adt from version 3.1 and 3.0 to publish app using commands:

SDK31/bin/adt -package -target ipa-test-interpreter -storetype pkcs12 -keystore YOUR_CERT.p12 -provisioning-profile YOUR_DEV_PROVISIONING.mobileprovision APPNAME.ipa APPNAME-app.xml APPNAME.swf Default-Landscape.png

SDK30/bin/adt -package -target ipa-test-interpreter -storetype pkcs12 -keystore YOUR_CERT.p12 -provisioning-profile YOUR_DEV_PROVISIONING.mobileprovision APPNAME.ipa APPNAME-app.xml APPNAME.swf Default-Landscape.png

version published using 3.0 works just fine, and the one using 3.1 makes splash screen rotates for a split second.

Maybe it's a problem just when publishing to debug I'm not sure but it looks like AIR 3.1 SDK bug.

I investigated it a bit more because I had to use AIR 3.1

if you're usig AIR SDK 3.1 you can set "Aspect ratio" in AIR for iOS settings panel to "Auto" (instead of for example landscape) then you have to attach both default images for landscape and portrait mode.

this walkaround worked for me, but I hope Adobe will fix it in AIR 3.2

I have exactly the same problem with AIR 3.1. I have a game that I need to lock in landscape view, but the splash screen flicker to portrait/stretched is a showstopper experience issue. I am using a couple native extensions. Here's my app.xml, with some names changed and comments removed...

The autoOrients=false setting was for experimentation. I was changing everything that looked like it might have an effect. Regardless of the setting for autoOrients it flashes to a distorted portrait view for a moment before calling the constructor on our Application if you have the initial aspectRatio set to landscape in the XML and start the device physically in either right or left landscape orientation.

This is a universal build. I have:

Default.png

Default@2x.png

Default-Portrait.png

Default-Landscape.png

I figured out how to work around the problem by leaving out the initial aspectRatio setting in the xml and using stage.setOrientation from code. The two iPhone png's and the Default-Portrait.png are graphically rotated right to simulate landscape mode. I manually call setOrientation to right at launch if the orientation is default or upside down. This causes the orientation change animation, but it's much less ugly than the distorted portrait view image. Further, I prevent the portrait orientations from happening through the typical means of using the StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING event and a preventDefault() call.

I woud love to see a configuration for an OR'd list of allowed orientations, and have AIR deal with all this stuff.

I just tried deleting Default-Portrait.png and it had the same bad behavior as before. Are you using the latest AIR 3.1 SDK Colin? As others have mentioned, this problem does not occur in AIR 3.0. I can also assure you that the device is physically in landscape orientation and not moving, as I have a stand that holds it in landscape orientation. It also starts to launch with the correct splash image, then seems to rotate and stretch that image into a portrait view. It looks like it is taking the Default-Landscape.png and stretching it to fit in the portrait dimensions, in DEFAULT orientation. Again, this does NOT happen if I remove the default aspectRatio from the AIR config.

I wish I could set this stuff in the InfoAdditions like a native app... http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd 1867-8000.html#WS901d38e593cd1bac6c9d409a12e26b451be-8000

Yeah, that's a good guess. But the resolutions of the images are correct.

I have narrowed it down to the fact that I'm including the in app purchase native extension. I haven't tried a blank native extension, but I know the in app purchase one doesn't do anything UI related. It must have something to do with the package/init process when there is a native extension packaged with the build.

Here is its ObjC source: http://code.google.com/p/in-app-purchase-air-ios/source/browse/#svn%2F branches%2Fv1%2FNative%2FiOS%2FAppPurchase

And I have posted a Flash Builder 4.6 sample project here that shows how I set it up: https://github.com/jdconley/air-ios-splashdemo

I have been having the exact same problem since I upgraded to AIR 3.1. I've been building using Flash CS5.5 and recently overlayed AIR 3.1. I am NOT using an ANE. I've gone through all the steps wackiejd has.

Interesting! Can you maybe fork my little github project and see if you can get it to reproduce without the ANE? I know that'll help Adobe narrow it down. The only way I could get it to happen was to include the ANE in the iOS build...

Hi Guys ,

This launch image rotation by 90 deg is a known issue and has been fixed for the next release . However , this issue is known only when iOS 5 sdk is used for packaging . This can be used by the following 2 methods :

1) By using -platformsdk switch in the adt packaging command .

2) If Flash Builder is set to use iOS 5 sdk . This can be set in Flash Buider 4.6 by following steps :

     Right-click the project

     Goto properties -> Under Flex Build Packaging side bar select Apple iOS

     In the Native Extensions tag you have an entry for a Apple iOS SDK where you can set the path to the iOS 5 SDK

Are you guys using iOS 5 sdk while packaging by any of the above 2 methods??

2) If Flash Builder is set to use iOS 5 sdk . This can be set in Flash Buider 4.6 by following steps :

     Right-click the project

     Goto properties -> Under Flex Build Packaging side bar select Apple iOS

     In the Native Extensions tag you have an entry for a Apple iOS SDK where you can set the path to the iOS 5 SDK

 

Are you guys using iOS 5 sdk while packaging by any of the above 2 methods??

Yes, I'm doing this. Is the fix in one of the beta releases?

Hi JD , the fix is not there in beta release . You will have to wait for the next release .

Hi Pea ,

please share your app.xml . We will look into it .
