iPhone 6 simulator - ipa install error - Xcode 6

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:05:17 GMT

Been getting the error below when installing an ipa on the Xcode 6 GM seed simulator, released yesterday.

I used -target ipa-test-interpreter-simulator on the command line to build with AIR 15.0 release (iPhoneSimulator8.0.sdk).

It seems related to localized descriptions, tried removing descriptions from the descriptor.xml to no avail.

Any ideas chaps ?

not getting errors with the build process just the install.....

iOS 8 - FileStream throwing error 2038 on open for write?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 15:43:20 GMT

Hey all,

Going through iOS 8 compatibility checks with our Adobe AIR app (tested with AIR 13 and AIR 14), I'm noticing changes to file storage.

In short, my code has always been as follows for simply storing a player profile file (matching iOS documentation for as fas as I know: File System Programming Guide: File System Basics). And this has worked well to prevent purges when the device is low on storage space as well as keeping the data there when updating the app.

This code only seems to work for iOS 4 to iOS 7:

var storagePath:File = new File(File.applicationDirectory.nativePath + "/\.\./Documents");

try
{
     var targetFile:File = storagePath.resolvePath("profile.bin");
     var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
     stream.open(targetFile, FileMode.WRITE);
     stream.writeBytes(<byteArray here>, 0, 0);
     stream.close();
}
catch (err:Error)
{
     <informs user something went wrong, retries, etc. basic error handling>
}

Running this on iOS 8 will always throw a SecurityError (#2038) from stream.open.

Now, we can still save data and fix this by replacing the first line by:

var storagePath:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath);

But, this leaves me with a few things, in order of descending importance:

1) Reading something like this makes me scared as our game has a large amount of daily players: "I’m using applicationStorageDirectory to store files. The problem is those files get deleted when the user updates his app…" (AIR App Compliance with Apple Data Storage Guidelines, last comment)

2) What has changed in the iOS 8 file system that suddenly makes my original code fail? Apple developer documentation is still outlining this should be valid. Is this a possible AIR bug?

3) I assume I need to set "don't backup" flags on the files when saving to the appStorageDir?

4) Is anyone else running into this?

Thanks in advance!

Using StageVideo and Stage3D in AIR - BETA

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 01:15:29 GMT

We're planning on introducing a new ActionScript feature that will allow hardware accelerated video to be used as a source texture in a Stage3D environment. Currently, using video with Stage3D requires the use of the Video object, which is not accelerated, and manipulation of the bitmap representations of the video frames. The planned feature, called VideoTexture, will allow direct access to a texture object that is sourced from a Netstream or Camera object.

The following sample code demonstrates the use of the VideoTexture object.

1) Create a VideoTexture object and attach a NetStream (or Camera) object to the VideoTexture object:

var ns:NetStream;
var context3D:Context3D;
var texture:VideoTexture;
texture = context3D.createVideoTexture();
texture.attachNetstream(ns);
ns.play("video.3gp");
texture.addEventListener(VideoTexture.RENDER_STATE, renderFrame);

2) A texture representation of the current video frame can be retrieved from the callback function for the VideoTexture.RENDER_STATES event.

function renderFrame(e:Event):void
{
    // Render on stage3D with VideoTexture
}

Please note that this will be an "extended beta" feature. The initial implementation, available in our AIR 15 beta, will be for Windows/AIR only. We are committed to expanding this feature to AIR mobile and Mac in a following release. We'll also consider an implementation in Flash Player if there is sufficient demand.

Getting your feedback will be critical to making sure we're providing a solution that you can use. Please let us know what you think and keep an eye out for updated beta release notes in the next couple of weeks.

How do you use AIR's WebKit/htmlloader?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 01:24:13 GMT

Hi everyone,

A long standing issue in AIR has been the inclusion of an older version of WebKit. The request to update this library has come up many times in the forum and is in the top 10 on the community driven Uplist feature page. As with the recent and ongoing physics discussion, we're not committing to any changes purposed below at this time, as we're purely in an investigation mode at this time. We realize that this is an important feature and we need further clarification on what you're looking for. Please read on for questions from our development team.

We are exploring updating WebKit, but due to our modification of the WebKit source, this will be difficult, and updating WebKit will change the HTML DOM, possibly breaking content authored for our existing DOM.

So we are also exploring leaving HTMLLoader alone, for now, but providing a reasonable alternative.

StageWebView was originally written as a replacement for HTMLLoader on mobile (because we could not use our WebKit on mobile, StageWebView took advantage of the browser provided by the platform).

But it was extended to the desktop as an unsuccessful solution to this problem.

On mobile, content was probably newly written (so it could be tested with StageWebView), and the browsers were similar enough to our WebKit that the DOM impact was minor.

But on the desktop, forcing older content written for our WebKit to run on Internet Explorer 8 (as an example) was a disaster due to the differences in the DOM’s. We resolved this by making HTMLLoader versus StageWebView on the desktop a choice.

Which gets to the questions (for desktop development only).

Which is more attractive, an embedded web browser or using the system browser? Is it valuable to provide both?

For instance, using the native browser can save on code size (perhaps 6 MB), but you must create and test portable HTML, and you face the risk that future updates to the system browser breaks your content.

How much interop do you need between AS and JS?

Hearsay suggests another problem with StageWebView is there is no interop between ActionScript and JavaScript, whereas HTMLLoader had a lot of support.

Would StageWebView be sufficient if it exposed an ExternalInterface, or sandbox bridge, level of functionality? For instance, if AS could register a list of functions which could be called from JS (and vice versa), would that be enough? Or is there something else that HTMLLoader does that is essential?

For instance, one of the ideas being explored is to provide an entirely new class (perhaps as an ANE) which links an unmodified version of the latest WebKit source as a static library. By using unmodified source, we can more readily update to newer versions of WebKit. As well, if we leave the existing classes unchanged, we don’t risk breaking existing content. But if we use unmodified WebKit source, we may find some of HTMLLoader’s functionality impossible to match, which is why I’m interested in understanding the essential functionality, so we can decide if a sufficient, minimal (so it’s easier to support without customizing Webkit) interface for it.

Thanks,

Chris

Android APK Expansion Files for Apps over 50MB

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 06:43:48 GMT

Hello Support,

We are building a new version of an app pubished on PlayStore (built with Adobe AIR) and need to embed higher resolution images. This results in my app apk file size which is over 100 MB.

Google allows to upload apks that are <= 50 MB. For apps which require more storage capacity than this limit, expansion files are needed.

Can you please inform us about how to incorporate these expansion files with an AIR app?

Is there a native extension or a built-in feature to prepare the expansion files and surpass the limit?

I've looked in the forums & there is no definite answer or solution.

If this is not possible at present, can you please add it to the wishlist for the next version of Adobe AIR SDK? Or perhaps, release a free/paid native-extension which enables this.

Thanks!

Can't export Certificate to p12 for iOS development

StageWebView for Local HTML file

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:42:10 GMT

I simply cannot get this to work. I see a lot of people offering advice on the web for how to implement it, I've been trying all day and it doesn't work with Adobe AIR 2.5 for Android Flash CS5 plug-in.

Instead of linking to an external website:

webView.loadURL(http://www.google.com);

I want to use StageWebView (because of the nice scroll capability) to load a local html file. I have tried EVERYTHING, and it doesn't work.

I have included the file in the APK (tried as a subdirectory and eventually, to simplify testing, I just included it in the same directory so no complex path).

I have tried what others had recommended:

webView.loadURL("test.html");

I have tried using the filesystem and resolving the path:

    import flash.filesystem.File;
    var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("test.html") ;
    webView.loadURL(file.nativePath) ;

I have tried numerous change-ups on the filesystem approach, including:

var file:File = new File("app:/test.html");

and

webView.loadURL(file.url);

NONE OF THESE THINGS WORK. Can anyone help me? I'd like to have scrollable content, included inside the Android app - like a license html file or others.

If none of this will work, any suggestions on creating simple, scrollable content that looks nice (scroll pane, scroll list, anything?)

Video playback issues in Air for Android

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 11:42:42 GMT

Hello everybody

I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125

but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help

I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.

The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.

Any advice will be highly appreciated,

Per

stage.stageWidth or stage.fullScreenWidth

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 31 May 2011 20:06:46 GMT

When developing a multiscreen game or app, developers need to read device's screen size to correctly rescale and reorganise screen elements.

I have been always using stage.fullScreenWidth and stage.fullScreenHeight instead of stage.stageWidth and stageHeight as I heard from other developers that the returned values may be incorrect on some devices. But when I tested my app on Motorola Xoom which has Android 3.0 I noticed that a bottom bar that comes from operating system with Home / Back buttons covers my app (Motorola Xoom doesn't have hardware buttons so they are available on the screen). So AIR returns the full height value, including that bottom bar, what causes my app to be behind it. There are some buttons in the app that could not be reached because of that.

I have tested my app on few Android devices available to me against stage.stageWidth and stageHeight and I got correct values. Can anybody confirm if there are still issues on any devices including iOS? Maybe that was only a problem with AIR 2.0 and 2.5?

How can I prevent the softKeyboard from going full screen in landscape mode on mobile app?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 19 Nov 2013 22:20:32 GMT

When I put an Input TextField on stage in an ActionScript Mobile project and click on it, the softkeyboard comes up but behaves differently when in portrait or in landscape. In portrait, the softkeyboard comes up and allows me to edit my field without hiding. In Landscape, the softkeyboard goes into fullscreen mode and I can no longer see my app in the background. I would like for Landscape mode to bring up the softkeyboard but not overlay my app with a text area. Is there a way to configure this?

AIR for Android - StageWebView and Video (YouTube iFrame)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 19:52:08 GMT

Hey all,

I've been converting an iOS tablet app over to Android and I've noticed the StageWebView has some curious limitations, especially with anything that accessed the GPU (video, etc).

At first the embedded YouTube (iframe) videos would just show the first frame of the video dutifully with the usual play button. When pressed, the video went black and all I heard was audio. The reason I even mention this is it took quite a while to locate this Adobe page with a section entitled "Enabling Flash Player and other plug-ins in a StageWebView object". So I added in the application tag to enable the plugins with acceleration (<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/>) and now I can see video.

The erratic thing is on ICS (Android 4.0.x) the video plays in the StageWebView but it horizontally closes to about 20% its normal width. The video player doesn't scale to 20% width, the iframe is just somehow collapsing to that narrow width removing the ability to see 80% of the video or use the controls (e.g. no fullscreen button visible).

When tested on Jelly Bean (4.1.x) the video does not pinch horizontally, it (amusingly) plays horizontally backwards (mirrored) and upside down.

Previously with hardwareAccelerated="true" missing I could press play and then toggle fullscreen and the video would work fine. After adding hardwareAccelerated="true" I can no longer use fullscreen, it crashes the devices after locking up.

I also tried appending ?html5=1 to the YouTube videos to force GoogleAPI to choose a HTML5 player. This didn't do anything.

Has anyone found the sacred tome of knowledge required to get an embedded YouTube video to play in a StageWebView iframe?

iOS 8 GM and AIR 15 CameraRoll

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:20:15 GMT

Hi,

My app, which worked perfectly under iOS7 has suddenly started falling over under iOS8 GM. I have builds under both AIR 14 and AIR 15 which both experience the same problem, so I' pretty sure it's iOS related. I'm running on an iPad 1458.

The issue is when loading images from the camera roll. I'm getting seemingly random "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error." when invoking loadFilePromise():

private function cameraRollMediaSelectHandler(event :MediaEvent): void

{

var promise:MediaPromise = event.data as MediaPromise;

loader = new Loader();

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);

loader.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, errorHandlerAsyncErrorEventHandler);

loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandlerIOErrorEventHandler);

loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorHandlerSecurityErrorEventHandler)

loader.loadFilePromise(promise);

(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as IPleaseWait).pleaseWait( true);

}

Has anybody else come across this? Any resolutions?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm currently using AIR 15.0.0.302 for iOS. I've packaged the Default-375w-667h@2x.png (6), Default-414w-736h@3x (6+), and Default-568h@2x.png (5), as well as all the new icons in my application files. The app was just approved and is currently live, however, it doesn't show compatibility for iPhone 6 or 6+. Is this an existing Adobe AIR issue (unclear by the release notes and forums) or am I missing something else that is now required, possibly in my xml document? The latest beta version release notes aren't very clear either whether or not this is still an existing issue with the beta build. I need H.E.L.P LoL

I've got about several apps that are waiting to be updated for iOS 8... and I would like to knock everything out in one fell swoop. If anyone could provide assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Air 3.0 iOS streaming H264/Speex over RTMP -- No Video

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:39:22 GMT

Problem:

H264/Speex RTMP stream from Flash Media Server doesn't display video. Audio plays fine.

Conditions:

Adobe Air 3.0

iOS device (iPad 2, iOS4.3)

App settings:

<renderMode>direct</renderMode>

Flash Builder 4.5.1 compiler settings:

-swf-version=13

-target-player=11.0.0

I have tried using both stageVideo and the regular Video object to render an H264 signal streaming from Flash Media Server over rtmp, but with no luck. I can hear the audio, but the video is never rendered.

I CAN see H263 video when streamed over RTMP using this setup (with just the Video object).

I can also stream a locally stored mp4 (H264/AAC) file over rtmp from the iOS device and play it locally just fine (using a stageVideo object).

I have attempted this with both stageVideo (which works fine when streaming an mp4 file from the iOS device) and with the regular Video object (the regular Video object handles H263 just fine streaming down from FMS over rtmp). I've also played around with backgroundAlpha = "0" for this case, all with no luck.

I've followed all the online instructions and tutorials to get this working for the past week, but have not had any luck. I'm happy to post more code, but this approach is fairly straight forward and has been described multiple times around these forums and in the adobe blog posts. It goes like this:

- instantiate NetConnection (_nc) to FMS and wait for successful connection:

_ns = new NetConnection();

_nc.connect(serverAddress);

- instantiate NetStream (_ns) and connect using NetConnection:

_ns = new NetStream(_nc);

- setup listener for StageVideoAvailabilityEvent; if stageVideo becomes available, attach _ns:

_stageVideo = stage.stageVideos[0];

_stageVideo = _stageVideo.attachNetStream(_ns);

- if stageVideo ISN'T available, fall back to Video object:

_video = new Video();

_video.attachNetStream(_ns);

stage.addChild(_video);

- play netStream app:

_ns.play(appName);

My renderMode is set correctly ("direct"), and from what I can tell, this isn't a backgroundAlpha issue.

I have seen this problem described elsewhere on this forums and on the net.

I'd like to know from Adobe: are there any compatibility issues with this approach? There doesn't seem to be any type of compatibility chart listing which video codecs and transport protocols are available on the different mobile platforms. Since mobile deployment is so heaviliy fragmented, a descriptive chart or table like this would be helpful for those of us developing -- at least for the main mobile platforms predominantly in use.

How can we better support the distriqt extensions?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 05:56:07 GMT

So after almost a year of using Uservoice, we've realised that it's not meeting the needs of supporting our extensions so we wanted to ask for suggestions on how we can better improve the experience and support we provide. We do strive to provide great support but comments from the community seem to indicate we're not meeting your expectations.

We are a small team and the extensions by no means pay our bills so what we are looking at is improving our usage of available tools to provide better support.

Our current thoughts are to move completely to github for issues and wiki, and start a public forum, perhaps a group on Google groups, but we are very open to suggestions at this stage.

We're hoping to update over the next month. Any suggestions you have as to better software or ways to utilise github will be most welcome, or even if there's something that you feel we're not doing well enough at the moment.

Hi,

I want to be able to prevent the virtual keyboard from going fullscreen in landscape mode in my Air application on Android.

There is a way to do this in native Android development using "IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI" that is covered in this forum post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4336762/disabling-the-fullscreen-editing-view-for-soft- keyboard-input-in-landscape

Does anyone know of a solution to this in an Air application (extensions included) ?

Thanks,

Karl

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:00:51 GMT

Hello,

I'm in the process of creating an ANE for an iOS SDK and I'm encountering issues when using the generated ANE in a test project.

When trying to debug the app on the device via Flash Builder here is the error I'm getting:

Error occurred while packaging the application:

Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_ASIdentifierManager", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in com.mycompany.MySDKANE.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture armv7
Compilation failed while executing : ld64

It looks like the error is saying that I've not added the AdSupport.framework when packaging my ANE.

When I look at the ANT script I've implemented I can see that the platform.xml file correctly lists all the iOS frameworks I need.

Here is an excerpt of my ANT script :

[...]
<!-- Package -->
     <target name="package" description="Create the extension package">
          <exec executable="${flex.sdk}/bin/adt" failonerror="true" dir="../temp">
               <env key="AIR_SDK_HOME" value="${flex.sdk}"/>
               <arg value="-package"/>
               <arg value="-target"/>
               <arg value="ane"/>
               <arg value="${name}.ane"/>
               <arg value="../build/extension.xml"/>
               <arg line="-swc swc/${name}.swc"/>
               <arg line="-platform iPhone-ARM -platformoptions ../build/platform.xml -C ios/ ."/>
               <arg line="-platform iPhone-x86 -platformoptions ../build/platform.xml -C iosSimulator/ ."/>
               <arg line="-platform default -C default/ ."/>
          </exec>

        <move file="../temp/${name}.ane" todir="../bin"/>
        <delete dir="../temp"/>
    </target>
[...]

and the content of the platform.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/13.0">
     <sdkVersion>7.1</sdkVersion>
     <linkerOptions>
          <option>-ios_version_min 5.1.1</option>
          <option>-framework Accelerate</option>
          <option>-weak_framework AdSupport</option>
          <option>-framework CoreGraphics</option>
          <option>-framework Foundation</option>
          <option>-framework QuartzCore</option>
          <option>-framework Security</option>
          <option>-weak_framework StoreKit</option>
          <option>-framework SystemConfiguration</option>
          <option>-framework UIKit</option>
     </linkerOptions>
</platform>

The script runs fine and generates a valide ANE but when I use is in my project I encounter the error above.

Here is my environment:

- Flash Builder 4.7

- AIR SDK 13.0.0.76

- Xcode 5.1 with iOS 7.1

Does anyone have an idea on the source of my problem?

Thank you.

How to remove default menu items in a Mac Air application

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 05:04:38 GMT

Hi Everybody,

I have a Air application built in Flash Builder which runs on Windows as well as in Mac.

My application has it's own menu bar. In windows it's OK.

But in Mac above my app's menu bar there is a default Mac app menu bar with four items(App Name, File, Edit, Windows), which is totally unnecessary.

I want to remove the Mac's default app menu bar.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Debug session terminated.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 03:41:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any general idea on what can cause the debug session to terminate?

I am debugging via usb in flash cs5.5 and it seems to "Debug session terminated" within 30 to 45 seconds of playing my game.

The game works fine though.

I feel like its some error or mistake i could be causing, perhaps it terminates instead of reading it out to me?

I made a new test file with just a trace statement and that does not terminate.

In the test file I am able to perposely call null objects and throw errors, it reads the errors as expected and does not terminate.

The only google search i found was this

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/832983?tstart=1

"The solution to this problem is you must take your bitmap and remove its bitmapData with the dispose method when you are not using it..."

The only thing i am disposing in the first minute is an intro screen bitmap, but i am disposing of it properly as the poster suggested. Assuming this can be related to memory, i leave the into graphic up on the screen visible during the game, and it still eventually terminates anyway. So nothing should be changing related to memory or GC at the seemingly random time of termination.

so before i go crazy... anyone know of other circumstances which could cause the debug session to terminate?

I will mention the game uses GPU mode and is heavy on memory! but it plays very nice and smooth.

Problem installing Adhoc version to iPhone and iPad - Development Environment - Adobe Flash CS6

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 10:21:32 GMT

Hi,

I have successfully submitted 2 versions of the application. There are 2 different versions for iPad and iPhone separately. These were developed using Adobe Flash CS6 and AIR SDK - 4.0.0.1628. The category is Lifestyle and app is free.

Now I wanted to add new feature of push notification to both iPad and iPhone versions. I have successfully tested the development version with development profiles and certificates over iPad and iPhone.

Before submitting the app to Appstore I was trying to test the Adhoc version with production environment and profiles but application was not installing to the iPad, it is the same iPad that is used for development. But after searching forums and other help Adhoc version was not installed to iPad the solutions that were tried are as under:

1. Create new certificates and profile for Adhoc

2. Change Entitlement tags in Application xml file

3. Remove existing profiles from iPad to avoid error.

4. Update OS version of iPad to 8.1

But once I try to last point - [4] even development version is not installing. Because there are no provision profiles installed.

Can you please help/guide me how to fix it? I need to test both development and Adhoc versions on the iPad and iPhone.

Some more information -->>

// Development Entitlement key - it is working fine with development environment

<Entitlements><![CDATA[

<key>aps-environment</key>

<string>production</string>

]]></Entitlements>

//Adhoc Entitlement key - it is not working application does not gets installed, icon turns dark and keeps saying installing once you hit the App icon. I am trying to install app using iTunes, after publishsing in Flash CS6 for Adhoc.

<Entitlements><![CDATA[

<key>aps-environment</key>

<string>production</string>

]]></Entitlements>

// If I try installing using install application to connected device after publishing then the error is:

But I have enough space on iPhone that I am testing. Remember development version is installing successfully and working fine for notifications.

Thanks

Can I update my Android AIR app with a non-AIR app?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 02 Nov 2014 04:09:12 GMT

A few years ago I published an Android app using Adobe AIR. Now I've created a new version of the app with a different technology (HaxeFlixel / OpenFL) which uses native C++ code.

The certificate I used for the AIR version is in "p12" format, and it seems that I need to use "jks" format. I tried using a p12 to jks converter I found online, which seemed to work, but when I try to submit the app I get an error saying that the certificates don't match.

Any suggestions on how I can update the app with a non-AIR app? Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

Saving Microphone Recording IOS/Android

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 20:04:11 GMT

I'm currently capable of capturing audio using the microphone, but I would like some tips on saving it to the mobile device.

I'm being using the techniques described here to record and play audio through the microphone:

http://suzhiyam.wordpress.com/tag/using-microphone-in-as3/

The save technique used is this:

function onSave(evt:MouseEvent=null):void
{
     hidePlayUI()
     soundO.position=0
     var o:ByteArray=enco.encode(soundO,1)
     file.save(o,"sample.wav")
     showPlayUI()
}

What is the best method to save an audio file from a ByteArray? Where does it actually save? How can I reference/load the saved audio file later in my application? Is FileReference the way to go or should I be using mediaPromise?

Thanks,

Problem with new icon sizes for iOS 7 while submiting to App-Store

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:02:33 GMT

Hi,

I have compiled my AIR app which includes the new icon sizes required for iOS 7 (76x76, 120x120, 152x152 and the Spotlight search result icons 40x40 and 80x80) from the command line using AIR 3.9. Here's the icon section from my app descriptor XML:

<icon>

1) WARNING ITMS-9000: "Missing recommended icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage).

i0S7 StatusBar Overlays stage, Adobe Air 3.9 Beta Bug? Is there a Workarround

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:16:03 GMT

I am using Adobe air 3.9 Beta. It seems that iOS7 give you the the possibility to style the Statusbar. But if you open an adobe air application the statusbar overlays the stage by default. It creates problems with my tabs.

I tested the app with an iPod and IPhone, both with iOs7 Both have the Issues. If I compile the app with Adobe air 3.8 the Statusbar will be displayed correct.

But I can't use air 3.8 because I need the new Icons 120x120 76x76 etc.

Other people have the same issue. See screenshots https://github.com/mutualmobile/MMDrawerController/issues/51

I think the solution is in the info.plist. There is an option for the info.plist UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance. We need this paramter to activate or deactivate the Statusbar overlay.

any Ideas?

AIR App, load externally hosted SWF which loads XML

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 22:43:42 GMT

I am wondering if this is even possible, because I am getting error 2148.

I am loading in SWF files that are externally hosted into an AIR app. Everything works great!

Is it possible to have one of these child SWFs load in some type of XML data or access an XML file on the desktop/tmp?

Or if need be, should I have the AIR app do all the loading (including the other XML) and pass that to the child SWF?

Thanks in advance!

In detail:

AIR app -> Loads SWFs

SWFS -> Load XML

SWF -> displays something or does something RAD!!!

Stuff I have tried:

Ive added an mms.cfg file in the proper places, as well as, changed my adobe security settings to allow access to a "tmp" folder on desktop. The loaded SWF from an external domain loads fine however it still shows an error 2148 when trying to access an XML file within the "tmp" folder on desktop. The SWF when published is also set to "access local files"

Porting existing Android native app to Adobe AIR

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 19:12:46 GMT

I indent to port a existing Android native app to Adobe AIR for android. Reasons: To use my existing AS3 skills, "cost" for native is too high and soon port it to iOS.

Difficulties I face here:

Existing app package, say "com.mygame.myapp" has to be retained. By using FB with AIR SDK, we get a "air." prefix to the package name. It becomes "air.com.mygame.myapp".
Will this solution still solve the problem in AIR SDK removing "air." prefix from package name has any working solution!?.
The help link http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/opt-out-air-application-analytics.html is dead now. iOS specific is found here Opt-out | Adobe AIR app analytics | iOS
Please suggest me a Mac suitable solution.
In Android, using a ".keystore" file, we need to export as the ".APK" file. In AIR, if we publish using a new ".p12" signature file would it be compatible with Google Play, and it rules.

App's existing users should find difficulty in upgrading the app.

Another unanswered thread Possible to remove "air." appended on package and target a .keystore rather than .p12?

Thanks a lot.

Cameraroll API that allows selection of web photos on Android

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:15:43 GMT

The latest version of Android 5.0 on Nexus devices do away with the 'gallery' app in favour of the 'photos' app. The problem is that users want to be able to select any image and not just ones local to device. The photos app actually blurs what is local vs cloud and you have to specifically navigate to 'on device'. I have a feeling the Nexus 6 might be a pretty successful device and since I have apps that use the cameraroll api, I am worried about getting complaints of non loading images because the current cameraroll api fails. Any one have a solution, an ANE? I had a custom ANE for intent pushed images to my app but not one for picking images. It would be awesome if cameraroll supported:

- cloud images from photos or other

- multiple image selection

Does anyone know if the failed selection via cameraroll api provides the content path back? I might be able to do something if I get the content path.
