Adobe AIR apps open to black screen in iOS 8

Adobe AIR for iOS apps I published using Flash Professional CS6 no longer run properly on iOS 8. They worked fine in iOS 7.
After opening, they just hang at a black screen (likely the launch screen - I didn't make an image for it).
Is this a known issue? Are there any solutions?

I've found an answer- the apps were published using the AIR 3.4 SDK, which I guess iOS 8 doesn't support.
Republished one with the newest AIR 15 SDK and it works properly.
Guess I'll have to republish everything.

Adobe AIR apps start with black screen on iOS 8

AIR apps that worked fine on iOS 7 now just show a black screen and are unresponsive after updating to iOS 8.
Is this a known issue? Has anyone found a solution yet?

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.

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...

Run Adobe AIR app as Windows Service

I have an app which monitors an RSS feed. Upon an emergency,
the RSS feed is updated. The app detects the change and launches
(from the taskbar/dock) full screen, plays an alarm sound and
displays the message.
Is it possible to run this app as a service (I know that
there are several software options to enable this) - my question is
directed towards launching the full screen warning. Can I utilize
the windowing API before a user logs in if the app runs as a
service?
I have tested this using a couple of those software options
with no success.
Does anyone else have any ideas or answers?

John, did you ever find a solution for running an Adobe AIR app as a Windows Service?

Adobe Air Apps connection

Forgive the amateur nature of this question if the answer is
readily out there.
As an Adobe AIR apps user, how do Adobe Air applications
connect to the internet and how can this be configured...I don't
seem to see a readily apparent shell application with settings that
can be modified. I ask because here (in my workplace) I have
internet capabilities, but because I function behind a firewall,
the connection isn't open to any app on any port.
(I'm running on XP, incidentally)
Thoughts? Direction?

AIR applications use the networking support provided by the
underlying OS. On XP, any required configuration is done via the
Internet Options control panel. Assuming your machine already
configured to access the internet, no additional configuration
should be necessary.

Can not find Adobe AIR APP Short cut

I restored my computer to a date before I installed a Adobe AIR app, but now Can't find anyway to open it. There are no shortcuts to Adobe AIR or to The APP. When I try to reinstall the APP it says the app is already installed! I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times the ADOBE AIR itself.

There is no need to uninstall earlier versions unless you are really short of disk space.
Get the latest version of AIR here:

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

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.

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

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,
Chris

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 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

Hi Chris,

This is what I have done:
1. Uninstall Adobe air with the Microsoft Tool

3. Try to install the app SmartClient.air -> Did not work
4. Try to install the app DesktopiPhone.air -> Did not work
Now I have 4 Adobe air instance in the task manager(see screenshot)

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.
