Apple App store now only allows submission by Mac

I have built and tested a new app using CS5 /
AS3, and go to upload it to the app store, and find that as of July, it can only be done with their own Uploader, which only runs on the Mac.
This is a real bummer, and I'm seriously hoping that a solution will be found.
If anyone knows what's going on, it would be nice to know, because if the CS5 platform (windows) is no longer useful for building apps, I might as well desist from developing apps. I just flat not prepared to move to apple platforms. Nice as they are - there are limits

I started publishing on the app store roughly a year ago (my iOS license is about to expire..so about 11 months) and I had to use a Mac to upload my binaries to itunes connect.
As far as i know its been like this for a while (18+months).
You could try making a hackintosh, or if you know someone with a Mac that you trust (would need to give them your id/pw pair) you can have them do it.
Its also a PITA to accomplish.
The packager doesnt like what Flash publishes so you have to extract the deploy folder to the .app file, than rezip (using a Mac), than rename, than ITC likes it.
I wish Adobe would find a way to stream line it, but I've sinced moved on to native code due to performance issues.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • How can I access my App Store now I have changed my apple ID

    How can I access my App Store now I have changed to a new apple ID?

    That wasn't a very good idea. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another or merge Apple IDs. Not for anyone. All of the content that you got free or bought with the old ID is forever associated with that ID. You cannot redownload or update any of it without the old Apple ID.

  • For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes  and App Store now seems to have a character number constraint. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

    For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • My first app in Apple app store & Android Market...

    I've been building a large multiscreen app in Air for boating that's quite involved - it's been about 2 years in development.  I realized that I had no experience getting apps into the varous app stores so I made a small app and released it to the Apple app store and Android Market.  It was accepted in both places within two days.
    When you drop an anchor on a boat for an overnight stay, it's very useful to know that the anchor isn't dragging along the sea floor.  If it is, it's a bad thing.  It needs immediate attention before you end up grounded, tipped over ashore, or worse.  Many navigation systems have an anchor alarm but they are often at the helm and away from the sleeping areas.  As with most things, your anchor is most apt to drag in the middle of the night when you're asleep since that is the worst possible time it could happen.
    DragQueen is an anchor alarm that detects if your anchor is dragging.  Running on your phone or tab, it can be seated right next to you while you sleep.  If it detects any dragging, an alarm goes off and wakes you since there's almost no question you'll hear it.
    Amazingly there have been 3,000 iOS downloads and yet only 400 Android ones.  It has 12 reviews on iOS with eleven 5-star ratings and one 4-star.  Strangely on Android it has two ratings, a 1- and a 3-star.  It doesn't freeze - I fear there is some game playing in the Android world.  I have not asked anyone to put up a fake review on iOS.  I've gotten dozens of emails of people actually using it on their boat including a couple of people who had the alarm go off and now owe me a beer.
    DragQueen is free on both platforms.  It was a great learning experience.  It took much more time to get it into the stores than to write it (maybe 10 hours of development time versus at least 2 full days learning about the signing, submission process, store processing).  I'm looking forward to finishing the more major app for desktop, iOS, Android, PlayBook, and SmartTV.  It too will be free.
    I did uncover a bug in Air/Android - you can't detect a deactivate when there is a geolocation update loop in process.  As a result, you can't turn off the GPS when the user switches out of your app.  I submitted the bug in bugbase but there hasn't been any action on it yet.

    I have all but given up on the android store, the mindset on there is to never pay for anything. "All apps should be free" is the general mentality of an android market user. At first I thought it was just the attitude of an android user but after having decent success on the Amazon App Store and great success on the NOOK store I just think its the market and the no review system, its hard to get noticed with all the junk apps floating around and all the users expecting everything to be free.
    As a side question to the original poster or anyone to whom this may pertain, why do people make quality, ad free apps? I dont get it, whats in it for them other than good vibes from the users? I understand free ad powered apps, and free lite apps but I can never figure out why people will use their talents and time to make an app thats totally free and has no ads? Anyone?

  • Apple App Store is used for Account. How to Avoid It? How to Delete All Sharing Preferences?

    Every time I go to the Apple App Store, I have intrusion, relentless stalking, piggy back computer usage, ID Theft, Account takeovers, and theft problems on everything including all brands of email accounts. I keep changing the ID and the passwords intermittently, but attacks continue. Erasing or replacing the HD does not remedy the situation either.
    As of now, the computer has practically empty; 979.87 GB free out of 1TB. It may have a couple of notes, pdf's, and some bookmarks. It was recently erased and is running on the OS X 10.7.5 to avoid Apple App Store updates to Mavericks, Pages, Keynote, etc. The security was set on everything I could think of to use the internet safely. 
    Besides surfing the web, I only did a few things. Because Chrome is better recommended, I used Safari to download Firefox, then used Firefox to download Chrome. Safari won't download it directly. I checked Yahoo mail. I used the Apple ID to post a question in the Apple Communities (within 24-48 hours of today). I changed the password to Apple ID in case there was an issue later. (I have to change the password almost 100% of the time because it gets stolen often) I usually erase Firefox because I don't use it. This time I left it there while I worked on other things & erased it later.
    After reading some online material, the system started to run slow as though there was too much data or space being taken up. Then I felt that someone or someone was using it at the same time. I disconnected the Ethernet and left an idle screen (it will sleep after a few minutes) because no sharing options remained. All fields are depopulated. All internet connection options were turned off and removed. Only the Ethernet remains. Unfortunately, that Bluetooth button can still be turned "on" and/or "discoverable". I don't know it this will still work with Bluetooth turned off  and removed in Sharing. Please clarify that for me.
    When I returned, the screen saver was changed. I expected to use a password to get back onto the computer, but no password was needed. I checked the settings and found the password for logging onto an idle & sleeping screen was removed. No one physically changed things around. This was done remotely or through malware.
    I checked various system preferences, and found the locks to Sharing was open with some of the components set up for usage (public files, bluetooth, remote apple events, etc.). I tried to change some options, but some items did not move. I tried to lock it but it would not lock. I tried other sys pref screens and found that some of them had been dismantled too.
    I tried to open the lock for other changes, but the password to System Preferences was changed.
    Is it normal to get a password popup window to LOCK users & groups when it is OPEN? I don't believe you need a password to lock it. Eventually, open locks closed with no chance to immediately reopen it to adjust the preferences (all passwords were changed).
    The terminal looks like it was used. No history was found. Reseting Password rejected new passwords. iTunes sharing could not be changed and parental control refused to lock. After waiting an hour or two, was able to lock it. I wonder what it was being used for.
    Now that the internet and the network are disconnected (before sending this message), everything is still extremely slow. A single window takes a long time to open. I have no idea what is making it drag and I don't know where to look.
    If history is repeating itself, then the computer is set for piracy just like before. Every place I go is watched, all passwords are captured, all files are checked, all email accounts can be stolen, chat and messages are used (email & computer), iTunes will be logged into, other types of accounts are stolen/taken over, and everything I type is read. Any changes will be sabotaged.
    I am confident that someone in the Apple Community will have the answers to getting rid of this problem for good. If you don't have all the answers, then perhaps you have good resources and referrals (not speculations or guesses).
    I read about apps, software, or devices that either detect or deter this type of problem. What are they and how do they work?
    Q- Also, exactly what are the steps to transfer the OS X 10.7.5, Mavericks, and the future Yosemite to a flash drive or disk to avoid future contact with the Apple App Store or using the Apple ID? (external HD's have been sabotaged in the past-via remote or erasing program of some sort)
    Q- How to permanently get rid of Messages & Chats
    Q- How to permanently remove Dropbox & Public file sharing?
    Q- How to permanently remove all sharing options?
    Q- Are there other ways to share (codes, commands, etc.) that need be to blocked/fixed/patched? If so, then what are they?
    Q- Are computers stalked by IP address? by Network? by computer numbers or codes? or just by traps or their accounts?
    Q- Is there a handy, "go to" type of checklist of where to look or what to do when there is a a suspicion of implants in the computer?

  • Photoshop Elements Editor 12 from Apple App store is disabling the licensing on Nik Collection

    Hi I am using PSE 12 from the Apple App Store and all of my Nik Collection plugins will only operate in Demo mode.
    The plugins work fine in Lightroom 5.4, PSE 12 demo from Adobe.com and standalone on the same Mac with no licensing issues.
    I have worked with Nik on this and they have really tried to help me to no avail.
    Is there a way to make this work other than using Nik outside of PSE 12
    From PSE 12, Apple App store version
    From Lightroom 5.4, PSE12 Demo version or standalone

    I was able to correct this by having Apple support reverse the App store purchase and then purchasing the version from Adobe.com.
    All of my plugins are licensed on my system now along with all of my MacPhun plugins also working fine.

  • LR purchase through Apple App Store, No available Upgrade to 4.2.

    Yeah, after downloading the update from the adobe site 3 to 4 times.
    I realized that I puchased LR through the APP store which doesn't allow for updates from the adobe website only the apple app store.
    I will never purchase a third party app from the app store again.
    apple and adobe should send out update at the same time.
    Not let their customers wait...
    Just like i've been waiting to tether my 5D Mark III.
    I guess I"ll just have to wait some more.
    Shame on Adobe and apple for the poor comunication...

    I would go back to apple. Go tothe same one and try to get the same guy who helped you last time. They will understand that this is the second time and know what happened last time.

    It's part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Look on every page and in every folder....still don't see it? Check Settings>General>Restrictions...are yours on? Installing Apps off? If they app is not restricted & you've looked in every folder and on every page, do this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

  • I set up an extra App Store but only want to keep one?

    I set up an extra App Store now I want to only keep one. How do I delete one or combine them?

    I assume you are talking about Apple IDs.  IF so you and you now have two of them you cannot combine them or delete them.  Apps downloaded with one ID areforever linked to that ID and can only be updated with that ID.  If that is a problem delete the app and download it again with the preferred ID
