Did anyone knows how to fix this issue? Cause it's happening to me as well.

I submitted 4 times to Apple Store the update of my app and it got always rejected, due to a crash when it launch.

It was a simple update to an app, which works on iPhone and iPad.

Can anyone help me out?

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 19:21:55 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.

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

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:42:37 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, 12 Nov 2014 22:27:13 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?

Year class: A classification system for Android - any thoughts?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:07:12 GMT

Facebook posted a few days ago how they no longer look at Android versions but instead look to hardware capabilities when developing their app(s):

Year class: A classification system for Android | Engineering Blog | Facebook Code | Facebook

A significant, and increasing, problem we have experienced over the past two years of deploying to Android isn't the fragmentation of the OS versions, rather the fragmentation of hardware.

Cheap Android devices are often shipping with v6 ARM CPUs but Air only supports V7.

These cheap Android devices can run the latest Android versions though which is hugely difficult to explain to clients. Clients think that since the latest devices can all run the latest Android version, why can't Air also support those same devices? A logical question to have but, understanding the lower power hardware doesn't always make sense to these clients.

Sure, it's a great marketing move by the hardware manufacturers who use the 'latest Android version' as a headline for shipping cheap old hardware! But, it makes it a nightmare for us Air developers.

I'm an electronics engineering graduate so I acutely understand both the hardware and software complications/implications of this situation but I'm wondering what we're going to do about.

A version of Adobe Air that would run on legacy ARM v6 would be great because a lot of cheap hardware still uses that form factor. Raspberry Pi for instance uses that CPU form and therefore being able to target that device with Adobe Air in the education market would be a HUGE opportunity! Also, the 'internet of things' could be a huge market for Air developers who could adopt such hardware as the Raspberry Pi. I do though, as I hint above, appreciate the development and resource costs for supporting that older CPU core though.

So, I wanted to throw this out there to see what other people think - both developers and Adobe themselves...

Is there a solution out there? Or can we, as a community, create a solution?

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?

Crash on "video.attachCamera" with front camera (S3, Android)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:30:33 GMT

Hi,

I'm developing a camera app with Adobe Air (version 15.0.0 build 302). I would appreciate any help with this really weird bug that I found.

In the Samsung S3 device, attaching the front camera to a Video instance always results in the app crashing. After the crash, the camera becomes unusable by any app on the device. The device must be reset in order to restore the camera. After many tests, I know that the app crashes when the "video.attachCamera" method is called.

This is the relevant piece of code:

this.cameraPos = CameraPosition.FRONT;

this.camera = this.getCamera(this.cameraPos);

this.camera.setMode(640, 640, 30);

this.video = new Video(640, 640);

this.video.attachCamera(this.camera); // crash!

private function getCamera(position:String):Camera

{

for(var i:int=0; i<Camera.names.length; i++)

{

var c:Camera = Camera.getCamera(String(i));

if(c.position == position) return c;

}

return Camera.getCamera();

}

The same code works fine in other Android devices. Listing all available cameras show that both (back and front) cameras are available in the S3. And the front camera works fine when I use CameraUI.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

How to partially copy a SQLITE database/table

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 10:43:33 GMT

Hi Everybody,

I have an AIR application which uses a local Sqlite database.

I want to take a backup of my application. For that I have to copy some table data/rows from the database as SQL queries.

Requirement is a user can later import the stored things into the application, during which the copied table/data should be inserted into the new database.

I think retrieving each record individually and making insert query from the values and saving in a text file and then later at the time of importing executing those insert queries one by one

is a really expensive and time taking job. (As I have thousands of records)

Please suggest me an efficient method to do this.

User agent string in PC iOS simulator:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.19.4 AdobeAIR/14.

The user agent string is lacking of "Safari" on iPad Air as following by using StageWebView :

iOS in iPad Air with the test App
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 8_1 lik Mac OX S) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/12B410

I think it should be the same as the native ? or at least I can get something like "Safari" ?

Safari in iPadAir

How do you use AIR's WebKit/htmlloader?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 06:43:28 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

App Store Guidelines for UIBackgroundModes

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:16:08 GMT

For more than two years my app was on the app store without any problem, now on the last update the app was rejected because the use of the background.

Itunes Review

We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.

It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.

My app isn't fit on any kind of app that can use background, but required the access to the background.

The app is a simple live chat agent console that need to retrieve each x time messages from the server, when the agent are on a different app the app need to run in background updating the agent status and checking for new messages or chat request.

The app use two UIBackgroundModes and works fine "location" and "audio" values but now I am trying to changing for a different mode like : "fetch" value but seems not working anymore in background.

What should be do now, because the app is a simple component of a large system that is working fine at this moment on IOS , Android and BB but seems apple isn't allowed to update anymore if I trying to access the background?

Using StageVideo and Stage3D in AIR - BETA

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 13:55:00 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.

Developing for all four iPhone resolutions - how do you go about it?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 09:42:03 GMT

With iPhone 6 out, developing for both iPhone 4, 5, 6 and 6 plus is a must. I'm pretty new to considering adaptive interfaces / content when developing apps, so I'm looking for strategies on how to approach it.

My current case example is a graphic novel-type app. The development process is going to be short, so I'm looking to make an app that just displays in fullscreen on all phones, not necessarily taking advantage of the higher pixel densities. A lot of the content is bitmap pages that need to take up the full screen on all resolutions.

So what are your general strategies for going about this? As I see it, the first issue is the two different aspect ratios. The iPhone 4 is 3:2 whereas all the others are 16:9, so my idea is to first detect if the ratio is 3:2 or not, and make the app either adapt to iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 depending on the result. Apple's automatic scaling of older apps should then take care of scaling up to iPhone 6 and 6+. Correct?

Secondly, what is the next step? Do I save all the bitmap pages of my graphic novel in a 640x960 version (iPhone 4) and a 640x1136 version (iPhone 5) separately, then load the right one at runtime depending on the aspect ratio detected?

Thirdly, if I work in Flash Pro with a 960x640 canvas size, do I then load the correct bitmap version and place it in the top left corner of the canvas because it will then extend to all the edges of the screen - or do I 'center' the iPhone 5 version outside the canvas to make it fit? (Meaning do I place the content at x = 0 for the iPhone 5 version, or at x = - ((1136 - 960) / 2) ?

I hope these questions make sense, especially the last one, and would like to hear how you would approach a project with a short deadline which just needs to run fullscreen on all iPhones.

iOS 8 GM and AIR 15 CameraRoll

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 06:36:34 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!

Simon

Native application (captive runtime) doesn't support GameInput?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 04:17:08 GMT

I've built a project originally for Flash Player, then for AIR with the GameInput API. With the addition of GameInput support in FlashPlayer 11.8, I've switched back to FP. The game supports controller input through the GameInput API when built as SWF/AIR.

However, when I package it using the -adt command using -target bundle (resulting in a captive runtime native EXE), controller support is lost. A check on launch for GameInput.isSupported returns true as SWF/AIR, but false as EXE with no changes to the project/build.

Any idea if there's a way to get isSupported to register as true and keep my GameInput functionality in a native EXE?

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 broke Flash/AIR/ANEs

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 08:55:45 GMT

Here is the problem, been using Flash/AIR for years to build AIR powered apps. Recently built a new system running Windows 8.1

I transfer all my work over from the old Windows 7 machine and open up the .fla files, fix the links and test the file, here is the error.

The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.distriqt.Camera could not be found.
