1. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
TopoBuilder Aug 20, 2013 2:52 AM (in response to spinlight)The same thing is happening to my apps under iOS 7.
Really annoying and not easy to explain to our users.
Is there any solution for this problem?

2. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
karjusika1 Aug 27, 2013 4:58 AM (in response to TopoBuilder)This should be fixed in the latest air update. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1281043?tstart=0
- 3613819 - [iOS7]on using Sound.play app asks permission for accessing the Microphone even when microphone API is not used in the app.
I updated air and tested in a new empty project. I still get the microphone request popup.
I'm targetting swf version 21.
CTAirSdkVersion tag is 3.8.0.1290 in app's Info.plist so I'm using the latest air sdk.
I'm testing on ipod touch 5g running iOS7 beta 6.
This is the only code:
var sound : Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("sound.mp3"));
sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event) : void {
sound.play();
});
Am I missing something or does the bug still exists?

karjusika1 Aug 27, 2013 5:26 AM (in response to Pahup)Can you give an estimated time on when a new update with this bug fixed is out?
This information would help with my publishing schedule.
Thanks

CitySickness Aug 30, 2013 4:38 AM (in response to Pahup)Any progress on this? It would be great to know if this will be resolved before the public release of iOS 7.

Colin Holgate Aug 30, 2013 5:32 AM (in response to CitySickness)Although the edits were a mistake for the build last week, the same fixes are listed for the build from two days ago. So, hopefully it’s fixed in build 1350.

TopoBuilder Sep 5, 2013 6:34 AM (in response to Pahup)That's great! Good to hear you guys are actively working on bugs like this...
Any estimate on a releasedate of AIR 3.9?

9. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
GaryRosenzweig Sep 13, 2013 9:48 PM (in response to Pahup)What's the ETA on 3.9, then? The situation I'm dealing with is that I have an app that was built with AIR 3.2. This app (and others I built with 3.2) won't work in iOS 7 (app is operating, but screen is blank). So I need to update the app before Sept. 18 when iOS 7 hits. I submitted an update (AIR 3.8 works fine, no blank screen) but because the app asks for permission to use the mic, and it doesn't use the mic, Apple has rejected it.
So I'm faced with having to pull the app from the store and beg current users to wait if AIR 3.9 is a long way off.
Does anyone know if the AIR 3.9 beta will work for building finished apps? In the past, "beta" releases have been restricted in this way. I'll give it a try soon, but maybe someone knows and can save me some time.

10. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Lars Laborious Sep 14, 2013 1:25 AM (in response to GaryRosenzweig)Yes, beta versions work for building finished apps. So, go ahead and use AIR 3.9 beta

11. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
AP v Grootel Sep 14, 2013 1:34 AM (in response to spinlight)My app was just rejected because of this microphne request. Is it enough to remove all sounds? That would be a quick fix for me, so I can upload a new version.
-
12. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Lars Laborious Sep 14, 2013 1:38 AM (in response to AP v Grootel)It's the someSound.play(); that triggers the microphone request, so yes removing sounds will fix it, or just publish the app with the AIR 3.9 beta.
-
13. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
AP v Grootel Sep 14, 2013 1:47 AM (in response to Lars Laborious)Thanks for the quick answer. Actually, I had one sound in a frame. It seems that that will trigger it as well.
-
14. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Lars Laborious Sep 14, 2013 4:52 AM (in response to AP v Grootel)Good to know
I guess the best chance of avoiding the microphone request or other IOS7 related issues, is to publish with AIR 3.9 beta, and add the extra icons.
-
15. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Colin Holgate Sep 14, 2013 6:12 AM (in response to GaryRosenzweig)Betas are no longer watermarked. All my app submissions use the latest beta I can get.
-
16. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
GaryRosenzweig Sep 14, 2013 9:30 AM (in response to Colin Holgate)OK, built with AIR 3.9 and resubmitted. Confirmed first that the microphone permissions requirement was gone. Thanks all.

17. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Colin Holgate Sep 14, 2013 9:46 AM (in response to GaryRosenzweig)Just so you know, you don’t get asked about the microphone when you replace the app. To be completely sure you would want to install on a device that has never seen the app.
Did you do your build with the command line, in order to get the new icon sizes?
-
18. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
GaryRosenzweig Sep 14, 2013 10:21 AM (in response to Colin Holgate)I didn't test that thoroughly. We'll see what happens.
I didn't bother to include the new icon sizes. I had two other apps approved yesterday that didn't have them. They say they are optional. These are emergeny updates to get the apps working before iOS 7 comes out. I'll probably do real updates with improvements and such later on, once 3.9 is final and I have the 64-bit iPhone 5s to test on.
Any word, BTW, on whether our AIR apps will work on the 64-bit? I'm a bit nervous about that. Nervous enough to stand in line on Friday and spend full price (too early for a subsidized upgrade) to get the 5s.

19. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
TomLewis2 Oct 7, 2013 3:06 AM (in response to spinlight)Using flash 5.5, updating to Air3.9beta, need to edit AdobeARI2_6.xml, AiriPhone.xml and Android.xml with the player version number. What is the player version number for AIR 3.9 beta? For future updates, how do I find it from the downloaded SDK package?

20. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Colin Holgate Oct 7, 2013 5:09 AM (in response to TomLewis2)The release notes, here:
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/shared/air3-9_flashplayer11-9_release notes.pdf
includes a section called Build Changes. That tells you the one from September 24th is 3.9.0.960.
If you were using CS6 or CC you would also see the build number in the Manage AIR SDK dialog, and in the properties panel.

21. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
TomLewis2 Oct 7, 2013 7:55 AM (in response to Colin Holgate)Thanks Colin. Now I'm wondering about the iOS7 additional icon sizes and Flash CS5.5 - you mention using the command line to build the app to include the new icon sizes. Where can I get more info on compiling from the command line for a Flash 5.5 project?

22. Re: Apps requesting access to microphone (iOS7)
Colin Holgate Oct 7, 2013 8:26 AM (in response to TomLewis2)Pretty sure that what I’ve written about command line for CC applies to CS5.5 too. Your first challenge is getting AIR 3.9 to work under CS5.5, which I think I used to do by naming the folder as AIR2.6 (having renamed the real AIR2.6 to something else). Do that, and then do a build and get the line from Console, as I’ve describe already.
