Air 15 known issues - wrong screen size and dpi

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:15:25 GMT

Will the next update of Air 15 solve the issues below..

the dpi problem with iPhone 6 plus is a show stopper, i cant get away with delivering a reduced dpi

... under pressure to update 20+ applications ...

Known Issues AIR 15.0.0.183

[ iPhone 6 Plus] [Launch image] A blank screen observed in apps when Default-568h@2x is packaged.

[ iPhone 6 Plus] Wrong screen size and dpi is returned through the runtime APIs .

[ iPad 3 and later] iPhone Launch image(Default@2x. png ) appears on iPad if iPhone launch images are packaged along with iPad launch images

Well done to the Air team for the good work done so far, not easy keeping up with Apple on IOS8 at the moment...

Bug - TLF texts are not updating on iOS using new fast packager - is it "known issue" or not?!

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:42:23 GMT

Dear Adobe Team,

as you know - TLF texts are not updating on iOS apps using new fast packager.

There are two bugs about it:

Bug#3829668 - AIR 15 on iOS tlfText not rendering

Bug#3835226 - tlfText fields in Flash CS6 not being updated in Air 15 for iOS (something missed in the iOS packed file)!

In release notes for AIR 15.0.0.347 this bug was in Known issue section

In release notes for AIR 15.0.0.356 in Known issue this bug not presented.

BUT! Still in AIR 16.0.0.214 TLF text not updating!

I can't use simple TextField, because it has very limited options and strange behavior when aligning and positioning.

So - is it "Known issue" or not?! I do not understand it.

still got crash when app is started on iOS devices, build 349

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:13:53 GMT

my app runs well on Android devices and PCs, when it was published first time to appStore with the last sdk (15), it was rejected by apple upload tool. This has been fixed with the airsdk 15 beta and later.

But when I use airsdk beta or build 349, app crashes immediately when I open it on my iOS devices (this didn't happen before with airsdk 14, and even now it could run properly with airsdk 14 on jailbroken devices). I tried to disable everything but basic components of starling and feathersui, it works! This is probably because some issues with the compiler (changes warning to error on some particular issues, I assume).

-useLegacyAOT yes not works for me

my app s written with mvcexpress, starling, feathersui. I tracked down the code to find that some commandPool in mvcExpress has probably caused the crash. but it comes more and more complicated to work with the mvc engine and I decided to give up.

I am looking for the solution of using airsdk 14 with some trick written by Colin here: No longer able to submit app to iTunes.

Hope that got fixed some days

Uncompiled Actionscipt warning on iOS using AIR 15

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 23:57:31 GMT

Hi,

I've just updated to AIR 15 Beta 15.0.0.302 in an attempt to submit an iOS app to Apple (because of the issue with segment alignment)

And my App now shows the"Uncompiled Actionscript" popup when I load an external SWF.

This was working fine with AIR 14, and previous versions of the App were approved by Apple and are in the App Store

The issue is not caused by the loader context issue. Unless the procedure for this has changed e.g. use

var ldrContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain );

etc

and this worked fine in AIR 14

The only time I got the "Uncompiled Actionscript" popup in AIR 14, was if I published for debugging on the iPad, but not when I published

"Quick publishing for device testing" or "Deployment - Apple App Store"

So there appears to be some change in the AIR 15 build / packaging which has caused this issue.

Has there been a change to useLegacyAOT ? as this seems to effect the Uncompiled Actionscipt popup

See

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1562100

Has anyone else experienced this problem, or can anyone suggest a solution or work around, as this is currently preventing me submitting to Apple

Thanks

loading external swf (no code)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 05:45:01 GMT

Hello

i have a strange issue since update of my app for ios 8: my app is loading external swf (doesnt containing code, its just pdf converted to swf using swftools)

while its working ok when debugging on device, these external swf don't show up since the app have been accepted on itunes. And i dont have any error message

what i don't understand is why it's working good with the debug version and not the production version. they are supposed to be exactly the same, and i don't see why it would be a crossdomain or applicationdomain issue. Did somebody experienced the same problem ?

the thing is its a bit hard to debug, as the prod version isnt firing any message, and the debug version is just fine...:/

thanks !

AIR SDK 15.0.0.349, Android 5.0 and CameraRoll

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 00:19:50 GMT

Have a couple of problems with the above in some software I'm writing.

1. Images saved to the CameraRoll/Gallery prior to the installation of my software cannot be loaded by it and results in a Error #2032 Stream Error. Images saved afterwards to the CameraRoll/Gallery work fine. I realise this makes no sense, why should the date of installation matter?

2. Images loaded from the CameraRoll in portrait mode into my program are cut off about half way down. Landscape mode works fine.

Neither of these problems are apparent in versions of Android prior to 5.0.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Beta 15.0.0.349 + Android = doesn't work?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 05:31:55 GMT

We just tried to update to the beta (15.0.0.349) to fix some issues with the iPhone splash screen. However, this seems to have broken our Android build.

What we see is the Android app ends up with just a white screen with a "TypeError: Error #1016" in the log from our main function. Nothing in our app derives from a final class, so the error doesn't make any sense. It also isn't caught at compile time - just runtime.

Backing down to Air 15.0.0.249 works - so it's something between those two that's causing the problem.

Any clue what it might be? Is this an Air bug, or is there something I'm missing?

More info needed about Hurlant.Base64 Known Bug in 15.0.0.328

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 06:18:07 GMT

Related to "Hurlant.Base64 encode doesn't work with new fast packaging engine." in the release notes

Has this been a problem with the new compiler in versions older than 328 or is it new?

Does it affect Base64.encodeByteArray also?

Is there a bug open with more info so we can know how it breaks?

knowing EXACTLY what is new

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 00:33:26 GMT

Each week I eagerly await the AIR SDK update, that happens on most weeks (less so when you're doing major product releases!). But, the read me file includes a long list of things that are new since the previous major release.

It would be very handy to have a very short list of the reasons why we might be interested in this build. Also, a shorter list (hopefully) of reasons we might not want to use this build.

As an example, I have been waiting for years for sound latency to be improved on Android, and it would be a shame if I missed a build update that solved the issue, just because I didn't wade through the longer list of things that were exactly the same the week before.

Thank you for your consideration!

Problem with Facebook popups (and other UIScreen based popups) since AIR SDK 15.0.0.302

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 19:17:06 GMT

As you may remember, since the release of iOS 8 it's no longer possible to upload apps which were compiled with AIR SDK versions before 15.0.0.302 (No longer able to submit app to iTunes.)

Problem is, since that version UIScreen based popups (such as Facebook dialogs in native extensions, etc.) are not presented correctly.

There's a bug report: Bug#3837136 - Apps Built with AIR for iOS 8 reporting incorrect UISCreen dimensions

And it seems like quite a critical problem given that we don't have an option to compile our apps using previous versions.

I wish we had an ETA for this issue.

iPhone 6 DPI Issue?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 15:03:16 GMT

All,

I am running Flash Builder 4.7 with Apache Flex 4.13 with AIR 15 build 328. I have added the necessary launch screen images per iPhone 5,6, and 6+. After adding the launch images, Apple's Status Bar looks correctly scaled and now shows up white (it was black using the original AIR 15 SDK) but I am puzzled why my app appears to be improperly scaled on the iPhone 6 but looks correct on my 5S. I have included screenshots of the launch images I am using and what my app looks like on my iPhone 6. Any help/suggestions would be great!

Thanks in Advance,

Jonathan

(I included a screenshot of what the app current looks like in the app store to help show the current scaling issue I am having)

To Overlay or Not To Overlay

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:30:49 GMT

I can't find a clear explanation of what is required for us to use for a new SDK when it is released.

1) Are we still supposed to do the overlay? Or is this no longer necessary?

2 )What is the difference between the Flex version and the non-flex version? If you are using Flash Builder but creating an ActionScript project, then are you supposed to use (if you are on a mac) air15_sdk_mac? What if you then also have a Flex project? Are you then supposed to download AIRSDK_Compiler? Or do you already have that?

Thanks.

Flash Pro CC 2014 Crashes When Publishing with Air

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 17:59:51 GMT

While trying to publish my app with Flash Pro CC 2014 the program crashes. I'm using the current Beta version of AIR 15 (previous version had the same results) on a Mac (Yosemite OSX 10.10 beta 5, Not the public beta) . When I publish to just a swf file there is no problems. If I publish to Android, iOS or Desktop then Flash crashes. When the Adobe crash scene comes up I do submit the reports to Adobe. At the end I get a message telling me Adobe found a solution for the recent crash and to "click here" for further details. When I do it just goes to the Adobe home page with no help. Is there a solution or workaround? I've been using one of my other machines that has Mavericks on it for publishing for the time being. I would like to work at one machine and not transferring back-and-forth. Any help will be great!

Webview and LocationChangeEvent doesn't works

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2014 14:59:03 GMT

Hello,

In a project, I made a Webview and add a LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGING to it.

During my last test, it appears that it doesn't work anymore and I've rapidly seen it seems to be caused by the AIR 15.0.0.274 ( And doesn't working better on the 15.0.0.302 ) because it works on the AIR 15.0.0.249.

I don't know if something changed about it in those last versions or if it's a bug in the AIR SDK.

Thanks for telling me.

App Crashing after AIR 15 upgrade

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 16:30:15 GMT

Hi,

I've developed an app that I was about to submit to the App store. I've just upgraded to AIR 15 and installed using rsync, following instructions here. I'm using Flash Builder 4.6.

I can create the ipa and run in debug mode, either on my mac or on my iphone 5 (running ios 7). But when I upload to TestFlight and then download onto my phone, the app crashes. It opens, I see a white screen, and then it immediately closes. When I check the crash test report on TestFlight, it doesn't show any crashes.

I'm trying to figure out if there is some setting that I have wrong. I've set this line in my app descriptor:

When I tried to export a release build for android, I got this error:

/bin-release-temp/WordSlider-app.xml: error 102: Invalid namespace

Anyone seen this or know what to do?

Weird problem when -useLegacyAOT no

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 11:04:29 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to compile my mobile app with the new -useLegacyAOT no flag.

Compilation goes well and when installing and launching the app (release build) on iPhone 5 with iOS 7 I get the following messages on Scout:

Adobe iOS

External interface not available

0 - Init

Error: ga.js not found, be sure to check if

is included in the HTML.

And then an error is thrown and obviously the app crashes.

When I compile without the new flag I get the following expected output and the app starts flawlesly:

Adobe iOS

External interface not available

0 - Init

Init Database

...

(And the rest of the trace statements from the init)

So the ga class fails only when I use -useLegacyAOT no.

I use "AS3" mode to initialize the tracker so I wonder why it's trying to find the ga.js file when the new compiler is used...

Someone can share some light about this issue?

To Adobe Leaderships - A very bold and crazy proposal about AS4 and Swift

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:32:23 GMT

Dear Adobe Leaderships,

Me as a developer of both Adobe and Apple, here is my proposal about AS4 and Swift, I'll make it short:

1. Restart the ActionScript 4 program, make the language syntax near as Apple Swift as possible.

2. Develop a brand new version of the AIR ADT iOS Packager, find a way to pack the AS4 to native Swift codes, and run the AIR application natively on iOS & Mac OS, resulting in a much better performance.

I know this sounds crazy, and requires tons of works, but come on, the Flash Platfrom is at the brink of destruction, it's dying and it needs innovation, it's now or never!

If Adobe make AS4 almost identical to Swift, it's gonna be a huge benefit for Adobe:

1. Developers who develop with Swift for iOS & Mac OS, they can easily develop with AS4 for all other mainstream platforms, without having to learn different languages (although they have to learn different frameworks), this will draw a lot of Apple developers' attentions! In other words, Adobe can "steal" a lot of Apple's developers, so far as I know, people who develop for Apple also develop for Android and other platforms, they will be pleased to know that AS4 can do all of them.

2. ActionScript 4 will become the most popular script language of all time, a lot of Adobe's design and development tools on AS4 are gonna sell much more and much faster, money will come when it's massively popular!

Well that's my silly proposal about AS4 and Swift, if you are an Adobe employee, please forward this post to your leaders and CEO, thanks

Invalid Segment Alignment - Flash Builder 4.7 on Windows

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 06:48:09 GMT

I received the following message when I attempted to submit my app to apple:

Invalid Segment Alignment - This app does not have proper segment alignment and should be rebuilt with the latest version of Xcode. Please contact Developer Technical Support if you need further assistance.

While this issue is being discussed for Flash CC 2014 on Mac, I am producing the IPA via Flash Builder 4.7 on Windows, and then offloading that to a Mac to upload with Application Loader.

Is there a workaround for Flash Builder 4.7 on Windows? What about Flash Builder 4.7 on Mac? (theoretically I could temporarily transfer my creative cloud license over from one of the two machines that have it, and publish from Flash Builder there... but this is really rather annoying. Will do it if it's the only way though)

New Packaging Engine Causing Crash on iOS

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:41:58 GMT

It seems that unless I package my app with the option -useLegacyAOT yes, it will crash if loading multiple FileStream objects. The behavior is exactly the same as described in this previously fixed bug: Bug#3496074 - [Platform_iOS]Creating too many FileStream objects will cause app to crash on iOS

So using the new packaging engine is NOT an option for me in it's current state.

No longer able to submit app to iTunes.

Can't Debug On iOS Simulator Anymore... Why Did You Break It Adobe?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:03:49 GMT

I see lots of posts on this subject, and I am experiencing the same issue. I fail to see why this change in the SDK was put forth, as it has made development a real pain for iOS. In the AIR SDK 4.0 this worked fine. According to the new method, we are supposed to use an environment variable to control which simulator we want to debug in, but this does not work either when multiple iOS SDKs are installed. If this can be controlled by an environment variable, then why can't it be controlled by a command line option to adt? That would be a much more robust solution versus having to change your OS's environment every time you need to switch simulators.

Any response from development on why it is this way now?

AIR 15 Descriptor Removed Needed Icon Definitions

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 20:09:22 GMT

Looking at this new Descriptor.15.0.xsd in the SDK, it has removed the 76x76 & 152x152 icon sizes, when Apples guidelines still list them as required: iOS Human Interface Guidelines: Icon and Image Sizes.

Why is that?

Quick way to grab stage screenshot/framebuffer

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 16:01:16 GMT

Hey, I'm working in video encoding ANE - all is working great on iOS, except one HUGE bottleneck.

Grabbing 1 frame of application composed of MovieClips/layers etc. is super slow, because the only way I know around this is using BitmapData.draw, which of course redraws everything, including the effects etc., which is really slow for example on iPad 3.

In my case grabbing the frame as fast as possible is super important as I'm trying to achieve realtime video encoding. On the ANE side everything is optimized, using AVFoundation with pixel buffer pools etc. but AIR is killing it with the draw method.

When fooling around in the ANE, I made a list of views AIR is using on iOS, and saw the whole app is running in GL view. Could AIR provide a method to grab GL view somehow ? I tried hacking around it from the ANE(glReadPixels, which I know is slow but doesnt work anyway because the framebuffer is empty by the time Im calling it from ANE). Theres also a way to attach texture to framebuffer I think and have the content always ready there, which would be great - I'm not sure I can bind that texture to AIR's framebuffer though(didnt test this yet, but seems unlikely).

I even managed to grab a screen from ANE, there's a new method in iOS7 which can grab all the UIViews, but that is even slower than AIR unfortunately.

+I'm OpenGL newb. It would be cool if AIR took advantage of running in GL layer and provided some clean method for getting access to memory location with some texture/image from GL which could be used as screenshot/movie frame etc.

Severe Artifacts in AIR beta 15 in BitmapData.draw()

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:23:02 GMT

The latest beta has introduced a serious bug in BitmapData.draw() - when drawing a bitmapData onto another using a transformation matrix, the pixels are getting messed up:

Example:

package

{

import flash.display.Bitmap;

import flash.display.BitmapData;

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.geom.Matrix;

public class Air15ArtifactDemo extends Sprite

{

public function Air15ArtifactDemo()

{

stage.scaleMode = "noScale",

stage.align = "TL";

var map:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1024,1024,true,0);

var map2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,500,true,0xff000000);

var m:Matrix = new Matrix();

m.translate(-250,-250);

m.rotate(Math.PI*0.25);

m.scale(1.3,1.3);

m.translate(512,512);

map.draw(map2,m,null,"normal",null,true);

addChild(new Bitmap(map,"auto",true));

}

iOS 8 app doesn't work

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 13:34:18 GMT

I created an app that worked fine previously, but now it doesn't work in iOS 8. Has anyone else run into this problem? When I open the app it just loads to a black screen. I'm getting complaints from the users who have downloaded it, but I haven't changed anything so I don't know why it isn't working. When I try to publish the file from Flash CS6 now it gives me a long string of Javascript and Adobe Air errors. The errors are posted below. I just updated the Air SDK to version 15.0 but still get these errors.

avm2.intrinsics.memory opcodes on android

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:51:46 GMT

I read this intresting text:

To make use of the APIs, ensure that you use Flash Builder to build your applications. The compiler package with the APIs are not available for use in IDEs other than Flash Builder.

I try use this sample without FB (by FlashDevelop with flex_sdk_4.6). I found library airglobal.swc (\frameworks\libs\air\) with only two public function for avm2.intrinsics.memory

package avm2.intrinsics.memory

{

public function casi32 (addr:int, expectedVal:int, newVal:int) : int;

public function mfence () : void;

}

There is not other function as in text (for example li8). So, may be anybody know if I will use airglobal.swc by FB can it work? And can it work on Android?

Thanx!
