Adobe Air Packager for RoboHelp

Hello! I have been experimenting with the RoboHelp Packager
for Adobe Air. I really like the many extra features using Adobe
Air allows for Help Files and of course, I also like that you can
finally do a Help File that looks and feels more up-to-date than
the normal boring chm files.
My question is, since I am about to suggest to my company for
us to begin doing our Help Files with Adobe Air Packager, can
someone tell me how to find out if Adobe will continue offering the
RoboHelp Packager for the next versions of RoboHelp? I don't want
to suggest using Adobe Air to then have to revert to the old
fashioned chm's later on...
Thanks for any help...

When you are comparing this to Flash, does this comparison
extend to the requirement for each end user to install the Air
runtime on their PCs before they can access our RoboHelp system?
And that they will also get reminders to update to the latest
version of Air runtime?

Is the Adobe Air Packager for Desktop or Web Application Apps?

Is the Adobe Air Packager for desktop or web applications?
I'm testing the RoboHelp Adobe Air packager and noticed that
it produces an *.exe file that must be launched locally. This makes
it seem like it's only an alternative to the *.CHM format for
desktop applications?
Is there a way to link to webhelp topics packaged using Adobe
Air to provide context-sensitive help (CSH) for a web application
running on a remote server? Supposedly the Adobe Air packager has
CSH capabilities, but I've found zero documentation on how to set
this up.

Hi Dirk.
Peter Grainge has an article on Air's use on his
site.

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting basically the same error. Are there any rules or guidelines that we are suppose follow when writing an app for iOS? Is there a way to know exactly where it is crashing? My apps are not MXML, only actionscript. Also I made sure I have no errors not even warnings in my SWF file, but still no go!
Getting the same error.

Adobe Air package damaged -problem

Hi!
I packaged my Adobe Air HTML/JavaScript -application with Dreamweaver CS 5.5 AIr Extension. Packaging with homemade signature went without any problems, but installing the application doesn't work. I get the error #1000 during installation. I suspect that problem relates to same bug that has been discussed in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/778613#3405543 (internal bug number 1674848). I thought that the bug has been resolved, but the installation works if I remove large (420MB) sqllite-db-file from package. The package's compressed size is ~ 95MB.
My developing enviroment:
Windows 7 x64 (4GB RAM)
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5
Latest Adobe Air Extension for Dreamweaver
Latest Adobe Air runtime / SDK (2.7; I have also tried building from command line with same results)
Is the bug still there or should I try something else?

The only idea that comes to mind is to keep the file on the dvd, then have your app install (copy) it on first launch.
Thanks for adding the bug. For others affected by this, please visit the bug and add your vote. All feedback is appreciated!

Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

hi,
I guess you can try the following options
Remove the all the entry from the TOC of your project or create a new blank TOC and select that while AIR file generation
Remove the all the entry from the index of your project or create a new blank index and select that while AIR file generation
Remove the all the entry from the glossary of your project or create a new blank glossary file and select that while AIR file generation
THis will ensure that TOC/Index/Glossary page is not shown,
There is no way to hide Favorite or RSS from the AIR Help. Again, you can try looking at the Unipane Template provided in the AIR SSL Dialog.
Hope this helps

Adobe Air SDK for IOS, I'm searching for a week to get the certificate and provisioning files!!
Please help me to get the certificate and provisioning files and I should pay to have these files.
Thanks

Apple doesn't provide support for third-party development tools.
You need to post in the Adobe forums.
You need a paid developer account to install apps on an iOS device.

Where's the Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver CS5

I see only the Adobe AIR extension for Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4. Where's the AIR extension for Dreamweaver CS5?

We expect to have an updated extension out in the next few weeks. Please stay tuned for an announcement on our blog here: http://blogs.adobe.com/air/

Where can I get the Adobe AIR extension for Dreamweaver CS5.5 ??

I am either going insane or all the links I can find are broken.
http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/ajax/ redirects to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html, which has no apparent download link.
Any help most welcome.

I have been looking for the past couple of weeks. Some dweeb at adobe decided to redirect all URLs that had "air" in them to the stupid dev site that of course has no information on it about dreamweaver (except to buy it). It would be logical to put something big on the right side that says "if you got here to download the adobe air extension for dreamweaver it has been moved to here..... I guess nobody is monitoring the thousands of redirects from the air/tools/ajax and might say.. hey I should fix that.....

Adobe AIR support for Windows RT and USB

We want to develop an cross platform application. We found that Adobe AIR supports cross platform development for Windows, iOS and Android.
We wanted to know wheather
1) reading and writing to USB port is possible with Adobe AIR?
2) Adobe AIR has support for Windows RT development?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote before about my concerns with Adobe AIR, but here is a short summary:
- no road map and no clear plans for the platform,
- support of new devices is often late, Intel chipsets are not supported on Android,
- debugging on a device is a pain,
- inadequate build times for iOS, app package is quite large,
- list of mobile UI components is very limited and UI experience is far from native,
- native extensions are a possibility but still far from perfect (imagine using three very different development platforms all in one app), no debugging,
- performance is not good if you use a lot of Spark components in your app,
- Flash Builder is pretty bad as the development environment,
- ActionScript3 is a poor, outdated language that encourages bad coding practices.
I ruled out HTML5 frameworks for the same reason as you stated above. Last few months I've been working with Xamarin MonoTouch and I think it is perfect for my projects. 100% native UI experience, about 80% of the code is shared among the platforms, iOS, MacOSX, Android and Windows 8/RT are supported. Took me about 2 months to convert my 2Mb ActionScript Adobe AIR project to Xamarin MonoTouch (iOS). The entire process was fun and painless. Now thinking to port to MacOSX and Android. My iOS app is already at the App Store, no major complains so far.
On a down side, Xamarin is expensive for an indie developer with low revenues. You need to pay $300 per year per each platform (iOS, Android, Mac). Plus, you need to develop UI layer separately for each platform, so only part of the code is shared. But I decided it is a way to go for my projects and it's been a very positive experience so far.
As for my professional development, Xamarin offers quite a bit more as well. I get to work with C#, .NET, iOS SDK, Android SDK all in one platform. With Adobe tools you only get to know ActionScript and Flex/Spark framework. Very rarely I see that as a desired qualification. It is like a trap. Your boss tells you to develop a few projects with Adobe tools, it sucks you in for a few years and suddenly you realize that your market value declined dramatically and there is no easy way out of this mess.

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
Jan

Adobe Air - Packaging external local files with application?

I'm new to Air. I'd like my application to be pretty light so it loads quickly. So i'd like to place all my assets (XML files, graphics, etc) outside from the main Air file and when the main Air file is loaded into memory, I'd like it to load in the asset files at runtime.
So how do I go about telling Flash builder to save my asset files locally when it packages my Air Application and also ensure I can access these files while debudding my application?

I recently worked with this same problem. The answer is to use the adt command-line tool that comes with the SDK to explicitly include everything you want into your .air package.

Also, I haven't tried this tool, but it sounds promising:
