How to make an air for ios enterprise distribution Flash CS5.5?

Hi, There seems to be only:
Quick publishing for device testing
Quick publishing for device debugging
Deployment - Ad hoc
Deploymnet - Apple App Store
How does one do Deployment for in-house Enterprise Apps from Flash CS5.5 with AIR for iOS?
Thanks!

maweibezahn,
The plist in step 2 is created so you can download the app onto the device.  This file stands alone, and does NOT need to be included in the app package, but it does need to reside in the same spot on the web server.  Below is an example plist file for an app.  You then access the following link from mobile safari to install:

  • How to make external SWFs garbage collected in Air for iOS?

    My app uses lots of external SWFs( well they are actually included in the app with a folder but they aren't embeded ) and they do not contain any bitmapdata, only vector graphics. The problem I'm having is that they seem to be never garbage collected and System.privateMemory keeps increasing as the app loads more SWFs.
    Since those SWFs only contain vector graphics, I simply nullify all the variables that are holding reference to SWF file and call System.gc().. But it doesn't seem to be working. What would I need to do for the garbage collector to clean the SWFs?
    I'm using Air for iOS 3.5.0.1060 and ActionScript3.0.

    Yes I'm calling System.gc() twice. I tried using loader.unloadAndStop(true) and it seems SWFs are being garbage collected but another problem has surfaced. When repeatedly loading and unloading SWF in a short period, the air garbage collector sometimes fails to work.
    I've tested loading and unloading same SWF 50k times and checked trace.  Occasionally, garbage collector misses to collect garbage like below( swf #45119 is not being garbage collected).
    [UnloadSWF] main.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/45115
    [UnloadSWF] main.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/45116
    [UnloadSWF] main.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/45117
    [UnloadSWF] main.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/45118

  • AIR for iOS: How can I distribute for only Retina Displays?

    I am nearing completion of an app I have designed for iOS and tested on my iPhone 4. I bought a 2nd gen iPhone so I could test on both screen resolutions (320x480 and 640x960) before discovering AIR for iOS does not support very old iOS devices (I believe the rule is it must be iOS 4+).
    My question is how is distribution handled if the app will not run on these older models? Wouldn't people with a 2nd gen iPhone still have access to an app that I publish via AIR for iOS and then be angry when it is not supported on their device? Has anyone run into this issue?

    AIR 2.5+ requires iPhone 3GS+ to run. It's based on the CPU inside that
    device and newer which includes a NEON SIMD coprocessor - a requirement
    of newer AIR builds on all platforms (newer than PFI/AIR 2.0, which
    shipped with Flash Pro CS5.0).
    There should be a "resolution" drop down in the AIR for iOS Settings
    dialog, if you updated your PFI in CS5.0 or upgraded to CS5.5. You can
    select "High" to get iPhone retina display support. This will not enable
    iPad 3 retina support though.
    Kevin N.
    Edit: I didn't make it clear that the device requirements are set in your app, and enforced by the App Store - users on old devices will never see your AIR apps in their app store, and if they link into the App Store, they'll get an explaination of why they can't install the app (it'll be either the OpenGL ES 2.0 requirement, or the CPU requirement - it's similar to if you try to install an iPad only app on an iPhone). Android actually works the same way - old/cheap ARMv6 device users will not see your ARMv7 requiring app in their Google Play/Marketplace app.

  • How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

    I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
    For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
      I have several questions related to that.
      1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
      2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the  complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
      3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
      Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

    You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library.  It took some work, but the test worked well...

  • How to reduce suttering in Air for iOS GPU mode?

    My game currently runs at 60FPS on iPad 2 and has no problem regarding rendering speed but I'm rather annoyed by constant stuttering which causes the game to stop for 0.1-0.5 sec  once in a while. The stuttering behavior is similar to when garbage collector is ran and I supposed it is casued by GPU memory swapping as my game uses lots of bitmapdata.
    Problem is that my game transits one scene to another scene seamlessly without stopping animations in the game screen by letting old game scene sliding out of the screen and new scene sliding in. So there's no time to preload/precache graphics assets used in the new scene. After transitting different scenes a few times, the game starts stuttering when trying to show new images.
    My game works fine without stuttering on old PCs but on iPad2 it is quite obvious. Could anyone tell me some tips to reduce stuttering when using Air for iOS? In the game, all vector graphics are pre-drawn to bitmapdata(so no vector graphics are shown) and the size of graphic assets each scene has is about 2048*1024 pixels. There are about 10 scenes. On top of that, there are common interface graphic assets which are used in all scenes and the size is about 30x 400*400 pixels.
    I know the game uses quite a lot of graphic resources. Making the game preload the assets before transitting to a new scene will eliminate stutter but I'd still like to see if I can keep the seamless scene transition on iOS.
    I'm currently using Air3.5 + Flash CS6.
    * I mean preloading/precaching by actually displaying( addChild and visible=true)  them on stage and make time for GPU to cache. All the actual graphic data are already loaded.

    Some things that might help:
    I've heard that textures are uploaded as square textures on iOS. I'm not certain that really happens, but if it does then having two 1024x1024 textures would be better than one 2048x1024, because that would end up actually taking 2048x2048.
    Bitmaps are sent to the GPU when they first hit the stage, and it takes a significant amount of time for them to get there. If you are timeline animating a transition to the next scene, stagger the graphics that are going to be appearing next. That is, before you start to move on to the next area have the biggest bitmap of the next are already touching the edge of the stage. It can be invisible, or underneath another graphic, it will still get uploaded. But if you tween in all of the graphics exactly when they are needed, they will take a while to upload.
    Dispose of the bitmaps that are no longer in the scene. I think your stuttering is because you're going into a new area that has a lot of new graphics, and the GPU still has the bitmaps from the current scene and the one before that, and so has to spend time freeing up the memory before taking the new bitmaps. If you had already disposed of them the GPU might not need to clear memory for you.
    There is System.gc(). That will force the system to garbage collect, which you could do at moments that there isn't anything animating.

  • How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

    Hi Guys,
    Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
    I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Sir,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But in that case user need to download 2 applications right. I need user to download my parent application created using Flash and that package contain one more ipa created using Xcode, so from my parent app only user should able to open my 2nd app. Is there any way to do that?
    Ps:  I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.

  • How many of the apps on the app store are based on AIR for iOS? raw numbers? as a percentage?

    wondering how apps based on the AIR for iOS platform are doing out there in the "real world"
    thanks

    ur restrictions might have been turned on. how? no clue. but that is normally the only reason default apps are not showing on the homescreen.
    u can reset ur home screen layout and see if that helps, turn off restrictions first of course.
    my suggestion... however, is to just reset all settings to get everything at once so to speak. there might have been other settings that were changed on ur ipad that u havnt noticed yet. the reset all settings would get those back to factory default as well.
    to get to those settings
    restrictions: settings>general>restrictions
    reset home screen layout: settings>general>reset>reset homescreen layout
    reset all settings: settings>general>reset>reset all settings

  • How to enable sampler in telemetry options at AIR for iOS Settings?

    Hi,
    I'm just trying the new Flash CC, and a very good feature is to monitor an iOS app using adobe scout.
    But when I export an app, in the AIR for iOS Settings, I always see "Enable sampler" option disabled. How can I enable the option?
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    To enable the sampler option you need to set it in the Publish Settings dialog. Open the Publish Settings Dialog and select the "Enable detailed telemetry" option under the advanced section for the Flash(.swf) option.Now you will find the Telemetry option for enable sampler enabled in the AIR for iOS dialog.

  • Uploading AIR for IOS thru Application Loader I get the following error - The package does not contain an Info.plist.

    I'm publishing an .fla in AIR for IOS.
    I'm in CC 2014 so first I need to know which AIR should I publish in?
    newest is AIR 14.0.0.178 for IOS
    IOS deployment type is App Store
    publishes with no error.
    I see the following files included .swf and app.xml
    I convert the .ipa to a zip file
    Upload that thru the Application Loader I get the following error
    The package does not contain an Info.plist.
    Where is the infoplist for this and do I convert the .ipa and the info to a zip file?
    I converted the .ipa to a .zip and the intoplist file is NOT THERE  how do I generate this?
    Any help here?

    Ok this is becoming very very frustrating as I have been at this for hours now. So the only way to explain this is to write what I did step by step as I have to be doing something wrong, just to recap:
    I was publishing from Flash CC 2014 using AIR 14.0 and getting Digital Certificate is not valid message.
    Was instructed to download new AIR 17 , I did this installed into Flash and used to publish.
    I used my previous p12, app ID and distribution certificates all generated properly.
    The file worked ONCE but I got an app ID error ( I understood I used the wrong app ID)
    I changed it to the right app ID and the very next time and after 10 attempts I got the same error  Digital Certificate is not valid
    SO I then downloaded AIR 16.0
    RE DID ALL MY CERTIFICATES AND P12'S
    went to publish and I STILL GET THE SAME MESSAGE   Digital Certificate is not valid

  • AIR for iOS app works perfectly in emulator, not at all on an actual iPad

    I'm new to mobile development, so I'm hoping I am doing some simple wrong, like a wrong checked box or something.
    I have an app that I have written for iPad. It's fully functioning when I run it through the emulator (I have to change it to Flash 10.1 and use Device Emulator because nothing else will accept touch events) but doesn't really work on the iPad. Some of the features work, and some don't. It's like it's just not quite compiling all the code, and I'm very confused.
    My publish settings:
    Player: AIR for iOS
    Script: Actionscript 3.0
    Included .swf, .xml, and all relevant .as class files
    Published using quick publish for device testing
    Are there some AS 3.0 features that won't work in iOS? If so it would be really great to have a list of those somewhere.
    What am I doing wrong? Why won't my app work on an actual device if it tests perfectly in the emulator?

    My original question has not been answered, but I am running across the same problem in a different way.
    I have added to my code, continuing to build the app, (hoping the problem can be solved eventually), and once again, the app works perfectly in Device Central but not on the iPad.
    I have buttons to select different levels of the puzzle. Each time you press a button, the level automatically updates itself on the board. So if you are playing the shape level, the shape of the puzzle piece is on the board. If you are playing the name level, the name of the puzzle piece is on the board. Etc.
    This works perfectly on my computer. However - again - when I transfer it to an iPad, choosing the "shape" level will cause the names to pop up.
    I have double and triple checked the variable names to make sure they match up and are correctly spelled and capitalized. It just doesn't function in iOS.
    Here is the code to switch levels and automatically generate a new random puzzle piece:
    function changeLevel (e:TouchEvent): void {
        trackUSAPiece = ["pieceAL", "pieceAK", "pieceAZ", "pieceAR", "pieceCA", "pieceCO", "pieceCT", "pieceDE", "pieceFL", "pieceGA", "pieceHI", "pieceID", "pieceIL", "pieceIN", "pieceIA", "pieceKS", "pieceKY", "pieceLA", "pieceME", "pieceMD", "pieceMA", "pieceMI", "pieceMN", "pieceMS", "pieceMO", "pieceMT", "pieceNE", "pieceNV", "pieceNH", "pieceNJ", "pieceNM", "pieceNY", "pieceNC", "pieceND", "pieceOH", "pieceOK", "pieceOR", "piecePA", "pieceRI", "pieceSC", "pieceSD", "pieceTN", "pieceTX", "pieceUT", "pieceVT", "pieceVA", "pieceWA", "pieceWV", "pieceWI", "pieceWY"]
        if (e.target == nameLevel) {
            PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Name";
            nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
            abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            for (var j=0; j<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); j++) {
                this[trackUSAPiece[j]].gotoAndStop("wholeName");
        else if (e.target == abbrevLevel) {
            PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Abbrev";
            abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
            nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            for (var k=0; k<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); k++) {
                this[trackUSAPiece[k]].gotoAndStop("abbrev");
        else if (e.target == shapeLevel) {
            PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel = "Shape";
            shapeLevel.gotoAndStop("Active");
            nameLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            abbrevLevel.gotoAndStop("Inactive");
            for (var l=0; l<(PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA); l++) {
                this[trackUSAPiece[l]].gotoAndStop("shape");
    function addNewPiece (e:TouchEvent): void {
        ri = Math.floor(Math.random()*(1+PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA));
        if (PuzzleGlobals.statesOnBoardUSA == PuzzleGlobals.TOTAL_NUMBER_USA) {
            //play BOOP sound indicating no new pieces left
        else {
            if (usaPiece[ri] != null) {
                bmc.addChild(this[usaPiece[ri]]);
                if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Shape") {
                    this[usaPiece[ri]].height = this[usaPuzzle[ri]].height;
                    this[usaPiece[ri]].width = this[usaPuzzle[ri]].width;
                this[usaPiece[ri]].x = e.stageX;
                this[usaPiece[ri]].y = e.stageY;
                usaPiece[ri] = null;
                PuzzleGlobals.statesOnBoardUSA++;
            else {
                addNewPiece(e);
    Here is the code that creates the piece:
            public function GeoPiece(): void {
                if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Name") {
                    this.gotoAndStop("wholeName");
                else if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Abbrev") {
                    this.gotoAndStop("abbrev");
                else if (PuzzleGlobals.currentLevel == "Shape") {
                    this.gotoAndStop("shape");
                this.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, geoPieceBegin);
    Is it possible I have a bad compiler or something? Do I need to reinstall the entire program? I just can't figure out why it would work in one operating system and not in another.
    Thanks

  • Unicode characters appear as      (boxes) in AIR for IOS

    I am developing an application for iPhone and it has an input Text box. (Placed on stage from flash CS6). In the Desktop emulator everything works fine. But, on the actual phone, everything I type appears as       . But surprisingly, when I am inputting the text, (i.e. the textbox is in edit mode) the characters are displayed correctly. But as soon as I leave the box it appears as       . Is there someway I can display the text the same way it is displayed during the edit mode?
    I am trying to input Devanagari देवनागरी characters.
    P.S. I did some research on this and found that, if I specify the  font for the textbox = "DevanagariSangamMN" then there is some improvement.
    I say improvement becasue althought the boxes       are replaced by actual characters , they aren't correctly formated.
    For e.g. during edit mode the text appears as this: कार्यकर्ता
    But as soon as I leave the textbox it appears as this: कार्यकर्ता (I typed this here by adding special unicode characters ZWNJ so that characters won't join)
    Anyway, I don't like the idea of having to specify font names? What If some user would like to input chinese, how would I know what chinese font to use?
    Isn't there some way to let IOS handle things, (just like how it handles things when I am inputing text).
    Thanks.

    Remember you can only build an iPad app using your Single Edition solution (which is included in your CC membership). So you'd need a Pro or Enterprise version of DPS to be able to create the Android version.
    You can create pop-ups in InDesign using the slideshow options and a multi-state object. But it's all manual labour so you'll spend a lot of time on this, also depending on the layout of your design.

  • How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

    How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

    There is currently no native way to email groups from iPad.
    The only way to do this is if your recipients are already members a a distribution group controlled elsewhere such as a Google Group or an  Exchange Organisation, then you can email the distribution group address which will then in turn forward to the individual email address of the members.
    Does it have to be email as currently you would have to add each recipient to the email manually.
    iOS to my knowledge doesn't support contact groups in context other than organisation.

  • Air for Ios doesn't compile actionscript

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a big problem... I'm developing a game to be published to web, ios, android. If I export the swf for the web or the apk for android everything is ok but when I try to package the swf using air for ios the swf doesn't contains any actionscript, the compilation is very fast and the swf is smaller, also if I try to debug the fla nothing happen because no code is compiled. This is started in the last two month, before I was able to package also to ios and I was able to create an ipa that I sent to apple store but now I need to modify the app and I can no more compile it. I have browsed the forum and read something about the umcompiled actionscript problem but I didn't load any external swf, I just use urlloader to load an xml and some images. I'm using flash cs5.5. Someone have some suggestion?

    If you are using Flash Professional.. I would just create a new FLA .. copy over your library assets, etc.   Make sure to point to your certificates and provisioning files, etc.. and recompile.
    Were you using an old version of AIR previously and have the new AIR SDK installed now ?
    I have found that compiling the IPA with ADT from the command line is much better than compiling from the IDE and allows you to use the iOS5.1 SDK instead of iOS4.

Maybe you are looking for
