Need some urgent support from you guys! [iPad3 Display]

[Applauz78]

I have an event on April 20th that I need to show off phase 1 of an app we're working on.  I really want to show it on the new iPad.

I'm working in Flash Pro 5.5   ...    Can someone please tell me how to compile my app to work on the iPad High Res display.

I've seen some people do it with Flex...   is there a way to compile the app from Flash Pro or a work around ?

Any help is appreciated!

[Colin Holgate]

You would need to be using Mac OS 10.7.3, have the 4.3.1 Xcode installed, and use the command line to do the build in order to point the sdk setting to the iOS 5.1 SDK.

Do you know that existing Flash apps look great on the new iPad? Unless your audience is going to be using a magnifier to examine the screen, I doubt that they would know that it's not using the Retina display.

[Applauz78]

I'm using 10.7.3 and have Xcode 4.3.2 installed

Do you have a sample of the command line script ?   I imagine its similar to packaging the BAR files for PlayBook ?

I've been searching everywhere can can't find what the path is to the actual SDK.

I ran a test compiling my iPad2 app for the new iPad and only my webviews looked good.  Everything else looks the same as it does on iPad2.   I want to take advantage of the high res images

If you could help me out in telling me how to get the location of the SDK ... and a sample script.   I assume I can use my already created app descriptor file that was created with the iOS packager in Flash ?

[Guest]

Usually the iPhone SDK should be at this location unless you provided some other location : /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/

Or try searching for iPhoneOS5.1 in your mac finder.

Try this command :

adt -package -target ipa-app-store -provisioning-profile ./myProfile.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ./Certificates.p12 -storepass XXX myApp.ipa myApp-app.xml <Main.swf> <ASSETS> -platformsdk /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/

Make sure you use latest AIR SDK.

[iBr3nt]

The latest Xcode now installs in your Applications folder. It's a real

pain but the new path should be something like:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk

How do I run the ADT utlity ?  

[Guest]

Considering that you dont have much experience with command line I am writing each of the steps :

1. open Terminal

2. In mac, open a finder window and go to the location where you have downloaded the AIR sdk folder, go in the bin folder.

3. Once reached, just drag the adt file onto the terminal and you will see the entire path is pasted in the terminal.

4. and then resume typing the rest of the command pasted in above post with correct location to your .mobileprovision, .p12, appxml, swf, assets files.

[Applauz78]

OK ..

Got it.

QUestion though...  How come we are specifying an ipa file in the commands ?  Shouldnt this tool be creating that file ?   

[Guest]

Thats correct. But you need to tell the name and location where it should be placed.

[Applauz78]

But when I dont have one already in the folder  .. it tells me that the IPA is missing

This is what Im using

/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ CS5.5/AIR2.6/bin/adt -package -target ipa-test-interpreter -keystore certificates/Certificates.p12 -storetype pkcs12 -storepass ****** -provisioning-profile certificates/historyapp.mobileprovision -platformsdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk interface_test2HD.ipa interface_test2HD-app.xml interface_test2HD.swf  assets/Default.png assets/icon48.png assets/icon72.png

[Applauz78]

FYI - the 2.6 folder is actually AIR 3.2

[Colin Holgate]

Brent put a space character after iPhoneOS.platform. That seems wrong, there shouldn't be a space.

[Applauz78]

I fixed the space.. it still gives me

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk: error 301: Application descriptor missing/cannot be opened

[iBr3nt]

Can you copy the entire adt command you used so we can see what's

happening? It looks like you're missing a step. For example my adt

command that worked for me was:

adt -package -target ipa-test -storetype pkcs12 -keystore

~/Desktop/iOS_DevCert.p12 -provisioning-profile

~/Desktop/iOS_DevProfile.mobileprovision test.ipa test-app.xml test.swf

-platformsdk

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk

Something is definitely missing in your command line arguments, that's

why it's throwing the error. You need the following in the correct order:

-package

-target ipa-test

-storetype pkcs12

-keystore (path to your .p12)

-provisioning-profile (path to your provisioning profile

.ipa name (I'm using test.ipa)

-app.xml file (mine is test-app.xml)

swf name (I use test.swf)

iBrent "no spaces" Arnold

[Applauz78]

You're right! .. It was the order of the items.

However once the compile completes..  I'm getting a lot of warnings.

[Colin Holgate]

Why do you both keep putting a space after iPhoneOS.platform? Surely that will lead to a path that doesn't exist?

[Applauz78]

I took the space out .. I dont know why its doin that in the post.

[iBr3nt]

I just ignore the warnings, they don't seem to affect performance.

The spaces appear after emailing my responses. I tells ya it wasn't me!

iBrent

[Applauz78]

So you get these warnings too ?

Will these warnings affect approvals in the app store ?

[Applauz78]

So I compiled an IPA from Flash Pro .. just so it wouldnt complain about the missing IPA file...

now when I run it .. I get this error

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk: error 301: Application descriptor missing/cannot be opened

I do have an app.xml file present though.

Am I missing something ?

[Applauz78]

stupid questioon ... to run the adt utlity do I have to first enter the bin folder via terminal and execute from there ?

[Applauz78]

man .. I hate command line   

Does anyone know how to get in to the actual Applications folder from the command line on a mac ?  cd Applications is not the right folder.  I need the applications folder that containts the actual apps

[richardpietsch]

Is there a solution to avoid those warnings? I'm experiencing the same problems here... Thank you!
