Flash CS5.5 .ipa and some older iOS devices.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that apps created with Flash CS5.5 will not install on some iOS devices, including iPod Touch 2nd generation.   For example, I see the error message stating that the app was not installed "because it is not compatible with this iPod". The same app was successfully installed when published with CS5.0
If this is true, by publishing such apps to the iTunes App store, a developer would invite negative comments from unhappy people who still use older devices.  And since there's no way for the developer to respond, using CS5.5 sounds like a quick way to get negative reviews.
I hope somebody from Adobe could comment on this.  Perhaps I'm missing something?

Is there any particular reason for that? Any way to override this limitation?

    if there is a compatability between the app and newer versions of the ios then likely the developer if he/she knows about it will release an update fixing the issue
    but of cause the developer has to know about it so maybe you should inform the developer about the issue and wait for a fix

  • Syncing notes, highlights, and bookmarks between iOS devices

    Hi,
    I've decided to digitize my technical library by purchasing ebooks from now on. The problem is which ebook format to go with. My ideal requirements would be to be able to purchase books from various sources and be able to read them both on my Mac and on iOS devices. Additionally, I want to be able to sync the highlights, bookmarks, and notes among all of these devices.
    Currently, the real winner that satisfy all of these conditions is Amazon mobi format. The only problem is that I can only purchase books from Amazon if you go with this platform.
    On the other hand, Apple iBooks is a close second here - the lack of a solution for a Mac is a problem, but I am hoping that Apple is working on the iBooks application for the Mac. The syncking of notes, highlights, and bookmarks among various iOS devices is a nice feature, and it does not require a tethered connection to iTunes - instead, these items they can now sync wirelessly among devices on the same iTunes account.
    My question is if the syncing of notes, highlights, and bookmarks works only with ePub books purchased from the Apple's iBooks store or if this feature works with unprotected ePub books purchased elsewhere and loaded on iOS devices via the iTunes syncing feature. For example, most of the technical books I am going to be digitizing are Cisco books published by Cisco Press. As of late, most of their ebooks are available in the unprotected ePub format, and I would be using the iBooks app to read these books. So, if I were to purchase ebooks from Cisco Press, would I be able to to make a note in a book on one iOS device (e.g. iPad), and later see this note in the same book on my iPhone?
    Thanks!

    This page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 says (I havn't tried it though) :
    iBooks will automatically remember where you left off each time you close a book or return to your Home screen. Tap the bookmark icon in the upper-right corner to bookmark a specific page. Wirelessly sync your Bookmarks, Highlights, and Notes with your other devices using your iTunes Store account by tapping Settings > iBooks > Sync Bookmarks > ON.

  • HT201302 How to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to my computer with Windows 8?

    myHow to importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to  computer with Windows 8?
    Nothing indicating iPhone 4s folder for images and videos in Win 8 anymore after plugged in USB cable to PC with the iPhone 4s. Nothing pop up anymore asking if I want to backup photos  / videos to my PC (used to pop up in Win 7).
    Where can I find this folder in iPhone 4s?
    Thks!!

    You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • Help - not able to add icons in flash cs5.5 ipa

    I have created a ipad app using flash cs5.5 which works great until I try to add the different icon fils sized (29x29, 48x48, etc) to the icon tab.  When I add all of the icons I receive teh below error message.
    Note that I was able to successfully create the .ipa file ONLY when I used just the 48x48 icon.  However, I was unable to load that ipa to apple using the Packager as I received another error message that the Small-File-50 icon needed to be a size of 72x72.
    I have tried to manually add the data to the xml file as well as tried different configurations (standard vs. high setting, iphone and ipad, ipad, etc.)  ,
    I also successfully created the app in 5.0 and was able to upload it to Apple using the packager so I believe the issue is being able to add the icons similar to how 5.0 lets you.  It appears in 5.5 the App Icons for publish directory is not created in the same way so perhaps that is the issue?  I even tried creating my own AppIconsForPublish folder but that did not work either.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I tried re-installing Java runtime and that did not fix the issue.
    I also loaded a fresh install on my Mac which also has the latest Java runtime and received the same error when I tried a brand-new program.  I used older icons that worked perfectly in the past.
    Has anyone been able to successfully create ipa's with all of the icons included or just the 48 pixel one similar to the issue that I have.
    As noted before when I successfully create the ipa with just the 48 pixel icon then I cannot load it into the apple store using packager.

  • Flash CS5 to ipa to App Store Desperate For Help

    For 2 weeks I've been trying to publish a free convert apps I made in CS5 to the Apple App Store. I made it for Android, published it and got it on their Marketplace in mere moments. I then changed the coding to touch instead of click and got ready for the iOS Adventure.
    I can't seem to find any solid step by step tutorials for this, all of them seem to be missing a part.
    Steps on PC so far:
    1. Paid Apple $99
    2. Downloaded OpenSSL-Win32
    3. Made certificate signing request
    4. Got developer .cer
    5. Made .pem file
    6. Made .p12 file
    7. Created AppID and Provisioning Profile
    8. Transferred profile to iPad
    9. Publish .ipa in CS5 using Developer Profile and .p12
    10. Transferred to iPad and voila
    11. Used same certificate signing request to get Distribution .cer
    12. Made .pem
    13. Made .p12 Distribtion file
    14. Create Distribution Provisioning Profile
    15. Exported in CS5 using Distribution .p12 and Provisioning
    16. Made profile on iTunes Connect and converted .ipa to ,zip
    17. Realized there's no way to upload .zip from a PC
    18. Dropped $1300 on a Mac
    Steps on Mac so far:
    1. Deleted all .cer files and provisioning profiles from Provisioning Portal
    2. Used Keychain to generate new certificate request, developer and distribution provisioning profiles and .p12 files
    3. Exported Developer version of CS5 .ipa, installed on iPad, works great
    4. Exported Distribution version of CS5 .ipa
    5. Used Application Loader and got "Unable to Unzip Application"
    6. Changed .ipa to .zip
    7. Double clicked .zip - Opened Payload Folder - Right Click - Compress
    8. Used Application Loader and got "Application Failed Codesign Verification"
    I've read books, watched videos and none of them seem to mention a concrete step by step process of going from Flash CS5 to the App Store. I have a feeling my Distribution profiles/certificates are the problem, but I can't find a solid resource to show me how to make them that actually works. Thank you so much to anyone who can help me, after 2 weeks of this I'm pretty tired of Apple.

  • Flash CS5, Snow Leopard and Font Problems

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and might have a quick fix for it:
    I have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3.  Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble.  Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same issue and discovered a quick work around (not great for the long term) that does not require OS downgrade.
    The first time Flash launches:
    1. create a new fla
    2. create a text box with the desired font that produces the issue
    3. type out every character (lower and UPPER case) include all punctuation and numbers
    4. Open any file that uses the font and you should be good to go
    Hope that helps.

  • Built app with Flash Builder 4.6 and compiled for iOS, now error when loading to appstore

    I built a fairly simple app using Flash Builder 4.6 and have successfully deployed it to the Android Market (after testing on my own Android device).  I have also taken that same app and compiled it for iOS and tested it on my own iPad. 
    I have then done the release build with the "Final Release for App Store Distribution" option in the release build wizard.  I have all the correct provisioning certificates in place and compiled the application to a .ipa file.
    At this point, using a MAC, I have run the Application Loader utility to upload my application to the itunesConnect portal to get it in the appstore.  I've already gone through the steps of entering the metadata, price scheme, and screenshots in the itunes connect portal, and just need to upload it for review.
    When I upload the .ipa file into the application loader, it gives me the following error:
    "iPhone/iPod Touch:  application executable contains unsupported architecture(s): arm"
    Anyone have any idea what this means and how I can fix it?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Solved it.  Just added the following in the <InfoAdditions> tag for iPhone in my app descriptor XML file:
      <key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
    <array>
    <string>wifi</string>
    <string>armv6</string>

  • Flash Alternative Content ~ Best Practice ~ Safari on iOS Devices ~ iPad iPhone iPod Touch

    Hi Folks,
    Is there a documented best practice for providing alternate content for Flash in Safari on iOS devices?
    I am getting white space where my Flash animation would normally appear, and management is displeased. I need to display alternative content in this space. I'm hopeful that Adobe has published a best practice for how to accomplish this.
    tyvm
    Keith

    Not sure about Adobe official stance but they have started using swfobject Flash detection to place Flash <objects> on the Web page. The problem I see with the Adobe implementation is that about the only alternate content they recommend is "Click here to download the latest version of Flash player".
    That is about the lamest alternate content you could possibly imagine! Just because you recommend that your viewers download the new version.... doesn't mean they will... so they still go without REAL alternate content.
    A MUCH BETTER use of swfobject is to actually provide alternate content! For your review::
    If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
    If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
    http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
    The link to World Barefoot Center in the above post is just one example. View the source code and you see a couple paragraphs of text along with regular HTML links.... but what displays is the Flash version of the image and Flash links.
    The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
    The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
    Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
    http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
    View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
    On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
    On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
    So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.
    http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
    Best wishes,
    Eye for Video
    www.cidigitalmedia.com
    So it is and has been for a number of years now, very easy to provide alternate content for non Flash devices... and that includes text, images, and video.
    Best wishes,

  • How to take screenshots for 4.7" and 5.5" ios devices?

    Hi all,
    I usually create screenshots of my AIR apps using a combination of actual screenshots on devices I own, and screenshots of the standalone player by testing the AIR app on my development machine.
    However, I don't own any of the new 4.7" or 5.5" iOS devices, and the resolutions for those are larger than my screen, so I can't take a screenshot that way.  The screens are 750x1334 and 1242 x 2208 respectively.
    My app is portrait only.
    The standalone flash player automatically resizes down to fit within the screen when it launches. If it didn't, I'd be able to move it around, take screenshots, and stitch the images together.
    Does anyone have any tips? Maybe a way to ensure the flash player window doesn't resize to fit within the bounds of my screen?
    Cheers,
    Peter

    I figured it out
    When running the app locally, need to set <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> to stop the flash player sizing down.
    Then I stacked my monitors vertically instaed of side-by-side (not physically, just in display settings) to take screenshots.
    Hope it helps someone else!

  • Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN? 
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone.  Same result.)
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    Yes, it should work that way.  However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
    I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.
