Adobe AIR Native Extensions

We are planning to choose a new platform of our new convergent media device. Like to know whether we can develop our platform using Adobe AIR Native Extension for Linux OS?
I came to know that Adobe has subscription based suuport for developers. If that is the case we can purchase support for development assistance on Linux based AIR Native Extensions. What we need are the FRE libraries and C code to run the Native extensions on Linux. I had acces to AIR 3.0 for Linux sometime back. Unfortunately our project look some time to mature.
Please let us know about this so that we can base our plans on AIR/Linux native extensions.

Dear Adobe Team,
We have recently purchased Adobe Air native extension for admob for android & ios
but every time we upload our app to an ipad or iphone, the app crashes.
We have carefully followed your instructions, and we're sure we've not made a mistake writing the action script 3 code.
We need your help in solving this problem urgently, as we are now running behind schedule in uploading our app.
Thanks very much,
Amir Steklov and Dorit Leshnick

Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices

I was using this tutorial:
"Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices"
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
When packing the Flex mobile ANESampleTest to deploy on an Android device, the below error happens
Error occurred while packaging the application:
aapt tool failed:invalid resource directory name: /private/var/folders/k8/1thhvkf92h947n_g22hg_v9m0000gn/T/52ba05aa-9001-4d46-9438-db81ef83 06f0/res/drawable-xxhdpi

Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Did you find a workaround for the Error? I'm getting the same and I can't seem to find any solution.

What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer?

Hi,
I'm developing Adobe Air application. I need to digitally verify the application to add the publisher's name with the product. I did a little research and came to know that Symantec, Thawte, Comodo, Comodo-Tucows, Digicert, Godaddy and couple of others are doing this.
Yes. I'm talking about the Code Signing Certificate. My question is, What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer? The reason is, The native installer will have an extension .exe ( Windows ) and .dmg ( MAC OS X ).
These guys are providing certificate for Adobe Air. For instance, If the application is exported using Native Installer in Windows, The application will have an .exe extension. For this, Can I use the same Adobe Air code signing certificate or Should I go for Microsoft Autheticode ( for .exe ) certificate?
Thanks in advance.

I think comodo code signing certificate is one of the nice option to be added for Adobe Air, as i have seen comodo code signing certificate in other adobe programs. Recently i bought comodo code signing from https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/codesigningcertificate.html, to sign one of my adobe application and it works fine, you can use microsoft authenticode technology with comodo code signing.

Adobe AIR Native installation + DRM issues.

Hello Friends,
We are looking at creating an application for a client whom is very concerned about piracy. They have a third party application which essentially injects DRM code into an windows exe. We created a demo air app which in turn was converted into an exe thanks to the native installer feature in Flash Builder for AIR and the third party worked fine by injecting after the DRM code.
However we realized that in the installation directory we can find the swf for the app, so essentially if we install another Air app and swap the SWF's we can actually get the content and circumvent the DRM.
I am wondering if there is anything we can do to prevent that (prevent the swf working within another AIR installation) and make it a little harder to crack.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I actually wanted to clarify a few things on this question in hope of still gettign an answer.
Apparently MDM Zinc does a good of creating a exe that can then later be succesfuly injected with DRM requiring an activation code to be able to install the software. It seems the swf gets converted to something else therefore injecting the DRM is more effective.
However I still want to do thid via AIR, the problem being is that the swf can be found in the installation and can be placed in another AIR app to circunvent the instalation code.
Any thoughts are apreacited.

Kind Chef mobile app, used Starling and Adobe AIR

Hi everyone,
Recently we were busily working on an idea called "KindChef" which is a system that helps restaurants and we as customers.
We have started a campaign for it on Indiegogo site, which is a crowdfunding site backed by Google as some of you may have heard about it, so that we can find the ones who are interested in the idea and can back us and contribute to it to help us make it happen...
here is the campaign link: http://igg.me/at/kindchef/x/5769968
We have developed a MVP (Minimum viable product) mobile app for it, using Starling and Adobe AIR. But it's not the end product and is not so optimized yet. It's just a sample app to show how the system works, but yet so many other features will be added to it's release version as we have discussed on the campaign page.
We're also going to develop a control panel for restaurants too to manage their restaurant better. we're also going to develop a desktop app for them using Adobe AIR.
Honestly, there are two reasons why I am talking about it here:
1) the Web developer’s perks, which provides AS3 programmers with many useful designs and OOP code snippets that we have used while developing the project and can help you a lot on your projects.
Also we are giving away all of the Adobe AIR Native Extensions that have been used inside of the project.
2) the second reason is to spread the word. Because sharing a campaign is a really important thing as Indiegogo counts this as a positive point for the campaigns, so if you just share it you have helped us a lot in our way, or you may also contribute to it
Please visit the link above and find more information about it for yourself.
The most important way that you can help us, is by sharing the campaign link with your friends.
Please feel free to ask any questions about the whole idea and system or the app.
Best,
MyFlashlab team.

How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue. Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels. If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework. See below link for more info and work around.

OSX Native MenuBar in Adobe AIR?

Hi,
I'd planning a new app for Desktop (Windows and Mac). In the Mac version I need to setup a osx menubar icon with its menus and items. I think this is not supported right now on Adobe AIR 13 so I'd want to ask here if there's an ANE mac extension that I could use that provides a hook to create the menubar osx icon and the menu with the options.
If there's no such ANE, could you let me know if this is something that could be done in such way? or let me know if there's no option right now unless I go to native osx development.
Thanks in advance.

Adobe AIR Runtime Redistribution and Native Installer

Will there be new instructions for Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime Redistribution? In particular, I'm looking for instructions on how to use the runtime redistribution installer to perform a "side-car installation" of AIR 2 alongside an application that uses the NativeProcess API (and so must be built into a native installer instead of a .air file).
Thanks!

Thirded!
On a test deployment using SCCM and the supplied Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files, we have managed to install our application with the 1.5.3 Air Framework with no major issues other than having to disable the Auto Update feature that doesnt really work in a corporate environment. Everything was absolutely fine until the release of AIR 2. Now, the test machines are prompted to install the updated Adobe Air 2 framework once a week, see an excerpt from an Adobe blog post below:
"In addition, once a week AIR apps check to see if an AIR update is available, and if so, users are presented with the option to update to the most up‐to‐date version, helping to ensure that end users get the benefits of improved security and performance."
That sounds great right? Except my users (like many other corporate users) don't have Admin permissions on their machines (hence the use of SCCM), with the result being resultant error messages when a user attemptes to install the AIR framework update without the necessary permissions.
All of the above would be fine if the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files were updated to include the latest version of the runtime. This of course hasn't been done yet - does anyone know when this may happen? Can anyone help me with this or offer any advice?
I hope the above makes sense and I would really appreciate any help or advice!
Thanks!

Adobe AIR HTML/JS application and Windows Native Installer

Hi,
I am building an Adobe AIR application with HTML and Javascript and I would like to know how to make an Windows Native Installer.
I am trying to build it with Flash Pro but it keeps returning the error 'Invalid SWF file'. At the application.xml file the <content> points to my index.html file. I don't use any SWF file. When I change this to point to the SWF it does build tha installer but the application loads the SWF.
Is there any way to build a Windows Native Installer and the initial content be an HTML file?
p.s. I tried to extract the files from the installer file and edit the application.xml there to point to the index.html. But I can't repackage the files to a valid air native installer.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. The internal bug number for the issue is #2740755. The issue is currently under review and will be investigated by one of AIR team members.

Adobe Air vs HTML5 vs Native in Mobile Development

Just now, I read an article "HTML5 vs. Native: What`s a Mobile Developer to Do?" (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/HTML5-vs-Native-Whats-a-Mobile-Developer- to-Do-648997/), and this make me think of Adobe AIR.
For those of you who have used Adobe AIR to develop mobile apps, how do you think about it's performance, features/functionality (API), and stability as compare with HTM5 done with phonegap?
Please share your experience and opinion here. Thanks.

Adobe Help Menu stopped working - Adobe Air installation of app is damaged

Hi,
I've had the CS5 Master Collection installed for a few days and suddenly when trying to use the "Help" Menu in InDesign, it prompted an "Adobe Air" update, and somehow in that process, all my Adobe Help Menus and "Support Center" menus won't work. Now I get an error message that says: Adobe Air: This installation of this application is damaged. Try reinstalling or contacting the publisher for assistance.
Not sure how to fix this. I uninstalled Adobe Air and then reinstalled, but it did nothing. I suspect it's the help/support application that is damaged. How can I fix this? The help menu is very...helpful.
Thanks!
