AIR 14 x86 Feedback

Hi,

- Yes, currently we do not support universal app (with both x86 and ARM support). For now you would need to upload both your x86 and ARM app to Google play store to cater to all your cusotmers. We do intend to provide the support for universal apps in future.

- Your native extensions need to be packaged again, with support for "Android-x86" platform in their extension.xml.

- 3D should work fine. If not, it's a bug. Could you please log this bug at bugbase.adobe.com ?

Thanks,

Daman

How far is the universal support? Will ANEs be universal as well? I as because I wonder if it's worth spending time adding the new platform to the ANEs or is it better to just wait a bit.

• Starling demo mobile also slow/broken with plenty of bugs and non function (e.g. not all filters work, render texture not work, clipping is wrong) there so can you guys (Adobe team) please test/fix Starling demo here Starling-Framework/samples/demo_mobile at master · PrimaryFeather/Starling-Framework · GitHub before next release please? i don't want to fill all that to bug base which could take all day
• i try to add -arch x86 "customize lunch" button via FlashBuilder before "-listen" which is working when debug but when switch to run mode it seem like "-listen" flag is not there so FB throw me and error then i've to change it to before "-storetype" instead which is annoying
• i can't debug via AIR14+Starling, not just x86 but all android device, my problem is describe here Bug#3756123 - Android+Starling throw Buffer creation failed. Internal error while createVertexBuffer and there Android + AIR 14 break Starling · Issue #539 · PrimaryFeather/Starling-Framework · GitHub

and because i can't debug so it hard to file issue

Hi katopz,

Bug 3756123 is reproducible at our end with both armv7 and x86 runtime on Samsung Tab 3 but not on Nexus5 or Nexus7 and we are investigating the issue.

you need original .jar (which can be extract from .ane i think it should work) ,add x86 platform to "extension.xml" and finally add x86 build command as doc said

I have changed the extension.xml file with xml header <extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/14.0"> and packaged ane file  again for android with intel x86 but it's not work

Somebody help me !

Have you included Android-x86 as platform in your extension.xml? Also have you packaged required files for Android-x86 platform?

Following is a sample extension.xml for an ANE supporting both Android architectures:

<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/14.0">

  <id>com.adobe.thirdpartyExtension</id>

  <versionNumber>1</versionNumber>

  <platforms>

    <platform name="Android-ARM">

      <applicationDeployment>

        <nativeLibrary>samplethirdpartyjava.jar</nativeLibrary>

        <initializer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</initializer>

        <finalizer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</finalizer>

      </applicationDeployment>

    </platform>

    <platform name="Android-x86">

        <applicationDeployment>

            <nativeLibrary>samplethirdpartyjava.jar</nativeLibrary>

            <initializer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</initializer>

            <finalizer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</finalizer>

        </applicationDeployment>

    </platform>

  </platforms>

</extension>

In packaging command you need to specify contents for Android-x86 platform:

-platform Android-ARM -C platform/Android . -platform Android-x86 -C platform/Android-x86 .
