Adobe Air App in First Lady Michelle Obama's "Apps for Healthy Kis" Contest

Break pal - Fitness at Your Desk (http://www.breakpal.com). An online workplace wellness application built using Adobe Air and Drupal has been accepted into First Lady Michelle Obama's " Apps for healthy kids competition.
The competition is to inspire application developers to develop utilities or games which inspire kids and adults to eat healthier and develop better exercise habits. Break Pal does both by reminding users to exercise at intervals and then delivers office safe micro-workouts right to the desktop.
Exercises are mostly Qigong, cardio kung fu, and yoga based.
Social networking aspects are also used to create accountability.
If the application wins it will be heavily promoted by the whitehouse and very likely will end up being used by millions of school children, businesses, and individuals to help them stay healthy and eat right. A good push for good health and adobe air

How to divide and load parts of Large Adobe AIR app for Android

Hi!
I want to create an app for Android but it will quite large. It will be larger than the 50MB offered by Google Play Store. This means that I need to find a way and break the app and load parts of it when I need them. Imagine it like minigames inside a bigger app.
It is not clear to me how to achieve this since every time on AIR, I can export and APK file for a mini-game let's say. Can I later download APKs and integrate them into my main app? How would this be possible? Another question that I have is: In order for a SWF to play on my app, it needs to be built by AIR for Android?
The best case would be to download content from In-App purchases and integrate in my app.
But these things are not so clear.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

I don't know how your application is structured, but if you can split sections off into separate SWFs(plain AS3 document) then you could host those section SWFs online and require the user to download them on first run.
You could use the FileReference object to download the SWFs, save them to the File.applicationStorageDirectory, and then display/load them up with the Loader object when needed from the app storage directory. You would possibly need to check to see if the files are present at every boot of the app though as a user could "Clear Data" or "Clear Cache" of the app in the Settings of their device and one or both of those could/would delete the downloaded files.

Adobe Air Apps for OS X: Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer. // Code Signing on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Hi,
I created several OS X Apps using Adobe Air. That worked quite well before. Now I have do update my OS X Apps - therefore I also needed update my certificates. [ I'm using Flash CC 2014 on OS X Yosemite 10.10 ]. But whatever I do it doesn’t work anymore. I always get this Message saying:
Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.
I googled a lot and the only "guide" I found is this post (from April 2013) about code singing - http://scottgaertner.com/code_signing/
I’m not used to deal with this kind of stuff (CA etc.) - so it's quite confusing to me.
Would anybody please be so kind and tell me what I have to do?
Is there any instruction from Adobe? (I didn't find one yet)
A step by step instruction for absolute dummies would be great!
Best regards and thank you in advance
Jan

Hi Mukesh,
I installed the Flash CC 2014 update and added some Certificates from Apple to my Keychain. Now EVERYTHING works fine again!! :-)
Thank you very much for the Update! :-) Good job!
Best regards

I use Flash cc 2014 AIR 15 and I´m interested right know on Android apps.

Displaying fb Friends in Adobe AIR app

First off, I realize I'm completely in over my head here.
I am a designer... not a programmer. Sure, I've set up some "quizzes" on facebook... but nothing like what I'm trying to do here. So, I'm hoping to get some quick and simple help from someone here.
Anyway... here's my problem...
I've made a fun little Adobe AIR app using Flash CS4. When ran it makes your computer screen look like you're logging into the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil franchise. It has company data, surveillance cameras and other stuff. It's totally for fun and doesn't "do" anything. Just wanted to make an AIR app late one night and this is what I did.
Now, however, I would like to make it so that you can login to your facebook account and then view a "database of Umbrella Employees"... which... in reality... would simply be a list of your facebook friends with pictures! The descriptions of what they "do" could be randomly generated from a file or something... or it could be grabbed from some posts they've made or something. But the friend pictures and names are really what I'm wanting to show.
I have looked and looked all over for a simple "downloadable" example of this. I've found some things, but everything is like reading an encyclopedia... and, like I said, I'm simply not that smart.
Does anyone have a Flash CS4 .fla file that you could share with me to show me how to do this?
I'm serious when I say I can't figure much out... so please include all library files and anything else I need to know (like upload this to your server here) and stuff.
If you help, and I "release" this (obviously I can't make money on it) I'll put an Easter egg in for you with your profile or picture or whatever you like!
Here's hoping for some help...

Adobe AIR app installation issue due to certificate problem on mac 10.9.5

Im trying to upgrade and then reinstall an Adobe Air application but get the error message failing to install due to a certificate issue.
The developer says the fix is to uninstall the app and install again but this also fails.
Checked my machine clock - saved but that didnt work
The adobe AIR uninstaller simply says I have the latest version? Cant seem to delete and reinstall although other adobe air apps work so I dont think this is the issue
I have gone through the troubleshooting guide: Troubleshoot AIR installation | Mac OS but still have the issue?
Any ideas would be great.

I suspect your Mac OS install was an in place upgrade from an earlier version. This is something I would never even consider with a production machine.

Error message when downloading adobe air app.

I have according to the installation program successfully installed adobe air. I am now trying to download an adobe air app from Jacqui Lawson and keep getting the following message.
"Sorry an error has occurred. The application could not be installed. Try installing it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author."
I have read other comments regarding this matter and tried everything suggested so far. I am still having the same issue.
I am running windows vista 32 bit. All firewall and anti virus are off, UAC is enabled, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program and I have tried using a different browser. Can anyone suggest anything else to try.

Many of us have encounted this issue. The problem is not confined to a particular version or computer operating. Many homemade remedies and scientific ones have worked for some and not others. The most recent fix was offered by an ID by the name of Maud Barbara and seems to have been the answer for that user and at least one more.
Maud Barbara's fix can be found at the end of the very long thread on the subject found

Hello
I had the same problem as you and I just d have the solution:
go to C / program files (86) / common files/OOBE
Rename OOBE by OLDOOBE
and your problem is resolved
You can reinstall the software
What worked for me in this case was none of the above. How I and others navigated this installation problem is documented in the thread cited.
We look forward to your results to see what turned out to work for you.

Admin Rights for Adobe AIR apps

Which Admin rights are needed on a system to install a .AIR file on a system? In our Enterprise scenario users do not have Admin rights on the system. And whenever user tries installing an AIR app an error is thrown for the same. I want to know what are the least (Admin) rights that we need to give to a user on a WindowsXP system so that he can install air apps?

Hello,
Unfortunately, there isn't a simple answer to this question because AIR isn't in complete comtrol over the full set of files and registry keys touched during an install - we rely on Windows Installer for that. However you can find additional information about this at:
Does Installing an AIR Application Require Admin Rights?
What are Administrative Rights, Anyway?
You might also want to vote for this idea: Installation of Adobe AIR apps without having administrative privileges
Hope this helps,

Will Adobe AIR apps work on iOS (Javascript/HTML)?

Hello,
I haven't been able to find any definitive answer on whether Adobe AIR apps using Javascript and HTML can work on iOS.
Anyone know for sure?
And if so, what happens with the APIs available through these swfs that we currently include:
networkInfoWrapper.swf
servicemonitor.swf
applicationupdater_ui.swf
Many thanks
Stephen

The answer is no. Apps developed for AIR using HTML and JavaScript are not supported on iOS or other mobile platforms. The mobile platforms do include a StageWebView component that can be used to load and display HTML and JavaScript. However, it is entirely different than the HTMLLoader control used on the desktop platforms (for HTML-based AIR apps). You cannot, for example, call any AIR/Flash APIs from JavaScript running in a StageWebView. In general, very little communication is possible between your ActionScript application code and the JavaScript code running in the StageWebView object.

Adobe AIR Apps + Safari = Very slow

Hi everybody,
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Adobe AIR Apps on iPad. I've tested several Apps now (one GPU-Heavy Game, one CPU-Blitting App, one pretty standard Puzzle) and all of them do have the same issue - as soon as Safari is running in the background it sometimes (not always.. and most likely on iPad1) slows my App down to 1fps. Until I close Safari again. I haven't ever seen any other App doing so, thus I believe it's an Adobe AIR bug. Maybe only on iPad though.
Does anyone know why this happens or if I can get around of that? Besides my Apps run superfast.
What I've tested so far is:
- My memory usage is ~4mb. Doesn't seem to bother him if it's more or not
- My GPU-Cache is held quite low (but even with empty GPU Cache this issue appears)
- I'm using an Enter-Frame in all my apps which simulates the rendertick. Maybe this may be the fault?!
Many thanks in advance,
Marvin.

Furthermore:
- if the iPad was restarted you can have opened any iOS system-app without slowing down the Adobe AIR app
- nevertheless after some hours this bug occurs again.
Our game is in stores now: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifunnel-frenzy-hd/id457822239?mt=8 and many people send us bugreports because of it. As soon as I'm telling them to close iOS system-apps things work superfine again.
You can download and test this bug for yourself - I think this might be pretty self-explaining then.
I'm a bit struggling how to solve this.. honestly.

Adobe air apps cannot be installed

Hi,
I have trouble with my PC to install any kind of adobe air app. When I start to install a Adobe air app, I get the UAC request and I confirm it but then the Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 is hanging and doing nothing.
When I repeat the process another Adobe Air Application Installer.exe *32 instance is started.
Here is my equipment and what I tried:
Equipment:
Windows 7 professional SP1 64 -Bit
- Reinstalling Adobe air with Revo Uninstaller(cleaning registry) and installing it new with Admin rights.
- Installing Adobe air in Windows XP Sp3 mode
- Multiple apps were tried and when I start them with the SDK, they are working fine.
- No information are available in the windows eventlogs
Any idea how to solve it or any possibility to start a debug tool to get more information?
Thank you in advance for any input and help!
Cheers,
Dominik

HELP! - Can't update Adobe Air Apps - Application Install Error

I have several Adobe Air Apps on my Mac OSX (10.9.4) MackBook Pro. They won't update due to the following Install Error.
"The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid. Please contact the application author."
Following the above instructions, I've been contacting the authors of my Adobe Air Apps and they are telling me that it is not their problem. The Apps should simply update without difficulty.
I searched the "Google" and found no fix other than uninstall and reinstall Adobe Air. Did this and the problem persists.
If you can help me get beyond this issue and back to productivity, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks!
David

I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.
