Performance of AIR Windows desktop app on Intel i7 4770R & integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200 128MB

I'm developing a Full HD AIR desktop application to run on Windows, and it is likely to use the classic display list, rather than Starling. There will be quite a bit of animation on screen, mostly using GSAP Tween engine.
I usually spec a fast i5 / i7 CPU, with a decent NVidia card such as a Geforce GTX 560. My hardware supplier has advised they cannot provide my requested CPU & GPU combination, and have instead recommended an Intel Core i7 4770R (quad-core, 3.2 GHz) (Turbo up to 3.9 GHz), with integrated graphics Intel Iris Pro 5200 w/128MB eDRAM. The specification of the CPU & GPU look ok, but I wondered if anyone has any experience of using either this CPU or GPU with AIR desktop applications, and what they think to the performance? Should the low amount of 128MB RAM on the integrated graphics be a concern?

1.Make sure you understand the big differences between video and stagevideo, its tempting to think that stagevideo is the better videosoultion in any case, but its not.
The best Article (however a little outdated) on the subject is imo: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html
2.In a performance heavy environment the combination stageVideo+greensock might not be the optimal solution, if you have time to reprogram Starling/feathers will probably give you a much better performing combination:
http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/stagevideo-with-starling-example
3.I don`t know how you encode your Backgroundvideo, there are literally dozens of viable codecs that should differ extremly in how they stress the gpu/cpu. Maybe you have to experiment with a lower than HD resoultion and see if scaling up the background is a good compromise.

Windows App Certification Toolkit fails on Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps Point 5.5

Using the latest Version 3.4 of Windows App Certification Toolkit to check Windows 8.1 compatibility our Installer was not approved on:
Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps
5.5 Your app installer must create the correct registry entries to allow successful detection and uninstalls
But all necessary settings are done and after the installation of our application we will find all settings in the registry.
We use an MSI Installer embedded in a bootstrapper exe. The MSI Installer is made with the WiX Toolset V3.6.
The same Application Installer got approved on November, 2014.
We checked this issue against the latest version of MSThreatModelingToolkit installer which also was made with WiX toolset and it fails, too.
So is there a higher restriction or do we miss anything?

Hi Wibudev,
I would suggest you to double check if you have miss something in registry, per documentation mentioned, the installation module must create the following registry entries during installation:
DisplayName
InstallLocation
Publisher
UninstallString
VersionMajor or MajorVersion
VersionMinor or MinorVersion
WACK 3.4 is the latest version, I don't think there would be any higher restriction but I will recommend you to test with another computer to see if the validate fails again. Sometimes the issue could be on the PC environment.

Worst performance of AIR for Desktop on PC

Hi,
I've been using AIR for mostly developing Android projects for my clients recently. And so far it's been pretty good for that.
I have noticed before and specifically with my current project, which is also simple branded Android app for a client, the performence of AIR on Desktop is worst of all my Android devices. When testing the app on PC, (ctrl + enter in Flash Pro) when simple animations starts, AIR takes 100% CPU on all cores on my i5 Dell with Intel HD4000 and Nvidia GF630M.
I was expecting it to run supper smooth on PC, while surprisingly, the app performs smooth on almost 3 years old Samsung Galaxy S2, then Galaxy Tab2, then chinese tab, and lastly comes PC, performace wise. For mobile, I have set the app to use GPU, and while testing on PC, I have tried all the "Render mode" options, but performance is exactly same.
I am not using Stage3D/Starling. It's just classic Flash, with timeline animations, and AS3 document class to make it all interactive.
Is it a must to use Stage3D/Starling combo to get same performance as on mobile, even for classic timeline style apps?
I thought Flash was getting improved on PC the most, but it feels like other way around :/
// chall3ng3r //

Yes, I have tried debug and regular test, no diffirence.
I have noticed that as three timeline animations stop one by one (they are not too big graphically, it's just a slot machine app), performance gets better. But, still not compareable to GSG2. I'm not using any filters, I did applied the motion-blur in Photoshop in alternate gfx, and just use that when in running state.
Edit: also, i've tried with latest beta build, and latest release build. it's same.

Here is how to enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Apps

I just discovered that with a very simple native extension method, I can enable full screen mode for AIR Mac Desktop Applications.
This gets you the full screen icon in the top right, and it works perfectly with no changes to my code. (Obviously only works on Lion and above, since this is a Lion feature)
Enjoy.
Here's the code:
    FREObject _EnableFullScreenMode(FREContext ctx, void* functionData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])
        //We should be okay to do this, even on 10.6, according to this post:
        //http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/311124-implementing-full-screen-for-10-7-but-app-should-also-run-on-10-6.html
        //We can't use [NSApp mainWindow] - didn't appear to work
        //This seems to though:
        NSArray * allWindows = [NSApp windows];
        if (allWindows.count > 0)
            NSWindow *mainWindow = [allWindows objectAtIndex: 0];
            NSWindowCollectionBehavior behavior = [mainWindow collectionBehavior];
            behavior |= NSWindowCollectionBehaviorFullScreenPrimary;
            [mainWindow setCollectionBehavior:behavior];
        //TODO: Return a boolean instead depending on if we found the main window
        return NULL;

Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

I'm planning to buy a iMac 21.5, 2.7Ghz with Intel Iris Pro 5200 and i was wondering if this would help me work on my Lightroom and Photoshop with ease... Please provide your feedback

I am having doubts on the Intel Irish Pro 5200, dont know will it work fine for the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom and other Graphics software as this version is said to be the basic and was wondering if it would help for the type of work i do.

Nothing specific against the Iris Pro graphics ...
Just that it's the GPU in the lowest-end iMac model. The software you intend to use (Photoshop, Lightroom,etc) are resource intensive applications and the more powerful system you have the better they perform.
And there is more to performance than just the GPU ... CPU type/speed, VRAM, disk speed for starters. If your use of PS, LR etc. is light and you expect it to remain light, then maybe the low-end iMac will be fine. But if you are any kind of prosumer/power user I suspect you will quickly discover the performance limitations of the low-end model. I'd point you at least to the next model "up."

[Desktop][Other] Ability to choose quality setting like in Android in the Windows desktop app

So this goes like this: In the mobile app we can choose the streaming and download quality, but in the desktop we only have the Premium High Quality option. What happens is that if I have a very low internet connection of lets say 128kb, the Desktop software will not play the music because normal quality is 196kbps there, so having the ability to choose 96kbps or 128kbps bitrates can be useful

Updated: 2015-07-23Hello and thanks for the feedback!
A similar idea has also been suggested here:

Need a new pc for developing windows desktop apps

I'm in need of a new PC for using visual studio on
I'm still learning c# but I'm constantly traveling so i don't get much chance to practice
i was thinking about the surface pro 3 i3 as it seems well suited to traveling and is the cheapest model available only
problem is that even the i3 is quite expensive and id still need to get a type cover with that
are there any ways to get this cheaper or a cheaper alternative (not the surface pro 2 as i hate its kickstand) as i was looking for something within the £400 - £500 price range
didn't know where to ask this
thanks

Even if the question is offtopic. If you want to use your device during your travel (ie. in a train, bus, ...) a Notebook is a better choice instead of a Tablet PC like MS surface. You should find in the 400-500GBP range a lot Notebooks that are good for
developing and mobile usage.
If you want to spend lot of money, get a THinkpad Yoga. But this is a device in the ~1000GBP range, but it is a convertable, small, not very heavy, perfect for traveling with it. But you will also find small Notebooks from Samsung, Toshiba, but at least
if it is an Ultrabook, you are in the upper price range.
Best regards
Bordon

How to register a desktop app that supports Windows 7

I want to create a desktop app that uses the OneDrive API. This app will be compatible with Windows 7 as well as 8.1.
Do I still have to register it with the Windows Store? If not, how do I receive a client ID?
I don't want to create a "modern" application. I want to create a desktop application.

Hi Richard x64,
You can receive a client ID by registering your app at

Screen resolution problem in Microsoft Test Manager by Testing Windows Store Apps

Hi,
we are trying to perform tests of Windows Store Apps in a remote device (tablet), so as it is explained in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh405417.aspx
However, when we take a screenshot or we record a video, it is only shown a little part of the screen, because PC and Tablet screen resolutions are different.
How could we solve this problem? Any idea?
Thanks.

Hi david_vr,
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.

UNICODE AND SECURITY FOR FLASH DESKTOP APPS

I'm presently in the development phase of some desktop applications using Adobe Flash to develop rich interactive apps that include games published in AIR for PCs. Given that I intend to commercialize these products, I have the following requests which you may be able to help provide answers to:
- how do I type texts in unicode characters given that my applications will include texts in my local language of yoruba.
- how best can I integrate security features into my application such that serial numbers or activation keys are required to run them? This is to help ensure that the apps run on per PC basis. This'll also help ensure timed licensing for users.
- how best can I obfuscate my swf files so that they are not easily decompiled or viewable by users in my program files or even by software which can expose the source codes? From experience, I have some AIR published desktop apps installed on my PC yet the swf files are viewable from the program files on my harddrive.
- how can I also protect my ActionScript files from being decompiled?

same problem with me sir , If you find answer kindly let me know and if i find the solution it will be my pleasure to share it with you !
Freind, I want to make a flash game ,
but it should not be a web based it is a desktop based application !
and the most important part of this is its security .
I want to do the following things
1)-I can copy this game on others pc , but it must be expired after 10 days .
2)-if someone copy it by any unethical way , it must not be opened on his pc a black screen should come
i have wathced a game like that .
I am confused how to make it ,it can be achieved by using flash or i have to make a separate desktop
application on C#.net or java that can hold this game and take care of security issues .
Thank you very much

Verizon Messages - possible to make Chrome extension or PC desktop app?

Hi, I recently downloaded the Verizon Messages app from the Play Store and am trying it out to replace MightyText. The reason MightyText is so handy is its Chrome extension, which means I don't have to log into Mightytext every single day just to send/receive messages from my PC browser. Is there any possibility of creating a Chrome app/extension or even a Windows desktop app for Verizon messages?
It is a great concept and makes more sense to do all SMS/MMS management at cloud/network level rather than syncing from the handset to the service (like Mightytext does). The main issue is that logging in at 2-3 times/day (work PC, home PC, sometimes get timed out as well) to the Verizon Messages webpage on PC is getting annoying. Mightytext is more seamless in that I log in once and it maintains that for months, unless I log out.

I use the integrated messaging app on Android, Web Interface, Desktop app, and Ipad IOS app all the time. However, I agree some improvements need to be made. Of the all, android app has the best features, but it too needs some tweaking.
The Android app does not seamlessly utilize both wifi or data plans as well as cell network. In poor service area (ie my house where I have great wifi), messages are often stuck int the sending phase for a long time. And, not sure if it is related, but something is causing recipients to get repeated copies of messages (on my screen showing only once) as well as "failed" messages (with contacts actually getting).
Both the web and more so the desktop app are a little slow sending messages, which makes no sense since chatting apps have been around forever.Neither seems to sync contact info very well. But, the web app constantly signs the user out and the same rate of user account.
Lastly, the the desktop app does not sign the user out, but I can never attach images. When I want to, I sign into web interface to send. Strangely, images sync in the conversation; and, you can browse for images and it opens an edit window similar to the IOS app with options to create collage or enhance, yet the attach button does not work.

Upgrade now to Skype for Windows desktop

On July 7th we will be turning off Skype for modern Windows. To get the most out of Skype, including group video calls, screen sharing and more, please download Skype for Windows desktop.
Learn more about this change.

You are correct that the Skype for Windows desktop app does not support connected standby. As we announced in the blog post on the topic we are currently working hard to get the new integrated Skype experience for Windows 10 in your hands which should make up for that.Nice. So the removal of Connected standby support is the "more efficient experience" on mobile tablet devices with mobile Internet connection ? Wouldn't be more logical and fair to wait until the "new integrated Skype experience for Windows 10" is ready and well tested prior to cut reasonable access to Skype for existing Windows tablet customers ? Again, do you really want Windows tablet customers ? The Skype download optimized for other tablet platforms is still available, isn't it ?

Is the Intel Iris Pro in the new 15" rMBP sufficient for my needs?

Greetings all! Long time reader, first time poster here
I've been holding off purchasing a new machine until the new rMBP models were released, and...here they are finally!
My goal here is to find out if the integrated GPU (15" rMBP) is going to be good enough for my usage pattern, versus spending the extra money and getting the model with the GeForce GT 750m GPU. I work as a Web Developer primarily; with some iOS/Android dev on the side (xCode & Eclipse mainly). Photoshop use is a daily occurance, but I don't do anything overly technical with it...mainly just chopping up PSD's for front-end web dev.
The reason i'm curious about the GPU is because of the light gaming I plan on doing. I plan on selling off my current MBP(2010) and also getting rid of my windows desktop that is used solely for gaming. The only games I play, and the only ones I will be playing for the forseeable future are World of Warcraft and some Diablo 3 perhaps. I'm not expecting top tier performance, i'm not expecting it rival the graphics performance of my desktop. Will I lose graphics power if I choose the entry level model that was just released today, when compared to the entry level 15" rMBP that has been on the market up until now? If so, is the difference negligible? I'm 100% on board for the Crystalwell processor, so I need to make sure that I get enough GPU power for my WoW addiction ^_^
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks a ton!
~Steve

WoW and D3 should run very well with the integrated Intel Iris Pro 5200 (rMBP 15")...:

Screen recording of AIR app on Windows desktop

I have developed an Adobe AIR application for windows desktop that runs at 60fps, full HD (classic display list, not Starling). I would like to record this app being used for promotional purposes, and have tried Camtasia and Action! Recorder (with software encoders), but neither of these achieve the required frame rate.
My PC configuration is:
i7-3930K @ 3.20GHz
32GB RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
2 x NVidia GT 440 graphics cards
500GB SSD
If I upgrade my Nvidia graphics card to one of the newer models, such as a Geforce GTX 970, I can make use of the NVENC technology that provides hardware video encoding of DirectX or the Windows desktop. Action! Recorder apparently supports the NVENC technology on the Nvidia cards, to provide improved video recording.
Does anyone have any experience of using NVENC to record Adobe AIR desktop applications that use classic display list, rather than Starling, and can I expect to record a decent frame rate?

Anyone?
