I also have the same question

[Applauz78]

It still compiles the IPA..  however my IPA runs like crap in iOS6.  Runs great on iOS5.1    ..   what's going on here ?

[DrAlexGor]

Which iPad(s) are you running (1, 2, or 3) ?

Here's what I've tried:

Case 1:

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_5 on iPad_2_with_iOS_5

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_5 on iPad_2_with_iOS_6

* running side by side behaved about the same speed, no visual difference noticed

Case 2

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_5 on iPad_2_with_iOS_5

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_6 on iPad_2_with_iOS_6

* Also, running side by side same as above no visual difference between apps.

Case 3

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_6 on iPad_2_with_iOS_5

app_compiled_with_iOS_SDK_5 on iPad_2_with_iOS_6

* Not really a valid test case but still ran the same as above.

Something to keep in mind the app doesn't rely on Flex framework very much. It's mostly straight up AS3 code. Maybe that could be part of the reason?

I'm seeing the same issue here in AIR 3.4. Does anyone know if the beta has addressed this?

thx

As I said in my previous post, you should see the IPA getting created, you can ignore the error.

This error is observed only with platformSDK. With 3.5 beta you will not have to use platformSDK for iOS 6 and below as it has the iOS 6 SDK captive in it.

Thanks

Hi Applauz78,

Yes, "Content is not allowed in prolog." is a known issue with platformSDK option pointing to iOS SDK 6.0, we're working on this.

However your IPA should succesfully get generated IPA even after the error.

-Thanks for reporting.

there is something weird here tho, I have no problem with my own provision file, it compiles just fine for ios 6, using another provision provided to me by the publisher gives me this error and the ipa is NOT generated.

Edit: Downloaded and used the new air 3.5 SDK, it works just fine now. Thanks.
