2D Game Performance on Android and iPhone

I would like to develop some 2D games (e.g. fighting game, tower defence) on Android and iPhone with AIR.
But I have a little concerns about the Performance of AIR on Mobile.
Fighting game is somehow quite demanding on the FPS,
and need to have quick response after the user tapping the screen.
Is AIR performing well in these 2 area?
Anyone have developed mobile games using AIR? or have any experience to share?
Thanks!

Thanks, it feels good to contribute some knowledge back into the community. I'm actually surprised there is not more information about this topic out there; it's been a struggle finding resources online as well as other developers who are working on iOS game development using Adobe Flash. I just made an updated post regarding CPU mode vs GPU mode: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2596142&postcount=29. Hope this helps someone!

Optimizing Game Performance on Android and iOS

Greetings fellow flash developers!
My name is Ross Przybylski, creator of the Flash multiplayer game Hero Mages (www.heromages.com). I've been studying optimization techniques for porting Flash games using Adobe AIR to Android, iPhone, and iPad devices and wanted to share my compilation of findings with the community as I believe other developers will find these resources helpful. They are available on Kirupa forums at the following link: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=359867.
The post initially covers a series of optimization techniques and then explores some variations optimal for both platforms and different game types. The initial concerns I had were regarding how to keep RAM usage down to avoid crashing iOS systems, and I believe to have discovered an effective solution which is outlined on page 2 of the above link.

Image cannot be displayed (as htmltext) when published for Air, android and iphone

Hi,
I am using Adobe Flash CS5.5 (AS3) and am building an online rss reader which loads a rss(xml) feed as htmlText containing title, description (with html formatting, linkage and image).
My rss format is roughly based on the online sample found at *** http://movies.msn.com/rss/topcelebs

Success story
All text and images are displayed from online as htmlText when published as SWF
The problem/requirement
Images are NOT displayed when published as AIR 2.6, AIR for Android or AIR for iphone
Searched the net, but no success. The images are not visible/loading when the rss application is installed on mobile devices (Android and iPhone)
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Colette
Are you saying that there should be .hhc, .hhk, .hhp, etc. files for each topic?
Those are project files and you would not see one for each topic. There is one (maybe more, depending on what you are doing) for each project.
One thing you may wish to try is to enable the "Use lowercase file names" option in your SSL recipe.
After you do this, generate and publish again.
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to write a combined add-on for Firefox (desktop) and Firefox (Android and iPhone)?

Dear Mozilla-Support-Team,
I am thinking about a new webservice based on an add-on for Mozilla (and other Internet Browsers).
In general, is it possible to write a combined add-on for Firefox (desktop) and Firefox (Android and iPhone)? Or do both Mozilla-worlds (desktop / mobile) differ and therefore require to write seperate add-ons (just Desktopn AND mobile or Desktop AND Android AND iPhone).
Thank you very much for your help!

It can be the same extension though you will likely need to write different code for FxAndroid and Fx Desktop.

Please note : As soon as I see this tried invoking the csmanagementstore replication and got to know my edge server is not up to date - I am sure this has no relation with push this is for getting the changes informed to edge server,
Everything works normal with no issues apart from this,

Hi Nelson,
To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information.
1. Have you added the new hosting provider, Microsoft Lync Online, and then set up hosting provider federation between your organization and Lync Online ?
Configuring for push notifications in Lync Server 2013
2. Have you installed the new root certificate?
Lync Servers currently use the GTE CyberTrust Global Root and beginning on June 1st, 2013 will migrate to the Baltimore CyberTrust Root. The
migration of Lync Online Service to use the new Baltimore trusted root Certificate Authority is planned during May 2013. As of June 1st 2013,
all of our servers including the Lync Push Notifications Clearing House Service will be on Baltimore certs only. So please ensure that your Lync Server deployments have been updated to trust the Baltimore Root before that.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/lync/archive/2013/05/02/lync-mobile-push-notifications.aspx
In addition, it is recommend to update the Lync servers to the lasted version.
Best regards,
Eric

You can only practically do this if the game state is saved on the developer's servers, e.g., Words with Friends.

Poker app that is Android and iPhone 4 compatible

Does an app exist that exist allows an android user play online poker with an iPhone 4 user?

Try WSOP Hold’em Legend: iPhone OS and Android OS / $0.99
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glu.android.wsop3&feature=search_result
This game originally released at $2.99, and at that price was a great deal, but at $0.99, it’s a no-brainer. This is by far the best poker game ever released for a mobile device. You start out as an amateur and work your way up to play in the biggest tournaments in the world. You can also build up your bankroll in cash games.
There’s multiplayer support if you are on WiFi or 3G against six or nine players.
You can even have a peer-to-peer heads-up match via Bluetooth. If you are looking to get your poker fix in at lunchtime or while waiting at the doctor’s office, this is the perfect app to invest your money and time in.

How do I sync my progress between games on my iPad and iPhone?

I know it's trivial, but there are many games such as Jet Pack Joyride, Arm Cartel, and others that I've spent a lot of time playing on my iPhone; however, when I go to play these games on my iPad, I have had to restart from the very beginning even though I am logged into my Game Center account. Is there anyway to ensure that progress within games is synced between devices?

Not unless the app developer supports this.

Group Messages Not Working between Android and iPhone Users on iOS7

Hi there,
I am a former iPhone user. I recently converted both my line and my wife's line from the IPhone 5 to a Motorola X Android phone. We kept our same phone numbers, but we completely switched from Verizon to AT&T. I have noticed that text messaging works perfectly on an individual basis when I correspond with individuals who have the iPhone, but Group Messaging is not working correctly. I am able to send messages to a group and they receive them just fine, but when they respond back to me, I do not receive their responses (as it appears they are going through as iMessages). My wife is having the same issue on her phone. After doing some detective work, I have found that hundreds of other users are having the same issues on their smartphones when they make the switch from an Apple product to an Android phone. There are a variety of "bug fixes" listed on the web, but I have completed all of them and I am still having the same issue. Here is what I have done so far...
*Factory reset both of our phones and removed the SIM cards (since we are with a new phone carrier)
*Changed both of our apple ID passwords
*Removed both of our phone numbers from Apple's database all together
*Unregistered both of our iPhone products with Apple
*Had all of my friends/family switch SMS to "On" in their Settings tab
So now what? I read one post on an Apple forum that said that they are aware of the issue and we can expect a fix in a future iOS update...but when is that going to occur, if at all? It is problems like these that led me to leave Apple all together, and here I am after having left the company, and I am still left high and dry searching for solutions to my problems. Who can help, and how can I remedy the situation?
Anything you can provide to help out would be great.
Thanks.

There are reports of iOS7 altering the settings on iMessage's connection to the iPhone. Verify that each of the iPhone and the Mac is receiving on the "channel" (phone number or email address) on which the other is initiating iMessages.

I have the same problem from iPhone5S to S3. Finally I switched to iPhone 5S from a Samsung Galaxy Android. This device is absolutely flawless. Noticeable faster than my S3 which I never thought was slow. Camera is good too. So far I'm pleased!
Now back to the topic. I have used the program called mobitrans phone transfer to transfer all the data (including SMS and contacts) from my galaxy android to my new iPhone 5S:
I guess it supports all the android and iPhone devices.

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Cheers,

ActiveSync autodiscover not working for iPhone but for Android and Windows Phone

Hi
We have setup an Exchange 2013 hosted environment, where different mail domains are running on it.
The main domain is mydomain.com. One of the client domains is customer.com.
Autodiscover for customer.com has a cname which points to autodiscover.mydomain.com, on our firewall this url is redirected to autodiscover-s.mydomain.com, where our public certificate for mydomain.com is applied. Autodiscover for all
our customers finally ends at autodiscover-s.mydomain.com.
Outlook WebApp, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync for all customers is reachable through mail.mydomain.com.
Everything works fine, except of autodiscover for iPhones. I always have to enter the server name mail.mydomain.com manually. After that ActiveSync works on iPhones as well.
The Problem doesn’t exist on Androids and Windows Phones.
Any suggestion?
Regards
Peter

Yes, Interestingly same configuration is working in my home lab, but not working at customer. The version is 10.5
Cannot say wireless issue as jabber for windows is working from wireless
