Adobe Flex Mobile + AIR - Custom iOS Build Setting

I am building some Adobe Flex Mobile application using Flex 4.6.0 + AIR 3.5 only for iOS
This app involves some iOS Native Extension created also by me.
The thing is that this ANE uses some third party framework (GD.framework from Good Dynamics Technology). That framework requires GD FIPS linker to be used, and for that, i need to set some custom build settings in a .xcconfig file, with this content:
FIPS_PACKAGE=$(CURRENT_ARCH).sdk LDPLUSPLUS=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld LD=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld
The ANE compiles OK, but then, I add the ANE to the app, I compile the app, but when I launch the app, it crashes because the FIPS linker was not properly got set on my Flex Mobile project.
So, my question is:
Is there a way to set the above configuration on my project like somebody would do in a Xcode project?
Regards!

I see your key as a reserved key for iOS. I haven't tested it myself but here's the keys you cannot change. Sure enough, MinimumOSVersion is reserved.

Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR

Hi
I need advantages and disadvantages Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR. I don't know Adobe and need your help. (we fight about our potential customer).
Project:
40 users insert own actvities into database. Supervisor analyse this info (reports, charts). Users connect to app via mobile phone EDGE using laptop.
Regards

Hello again,
From the end-user perspective, FLEX applicatoins are more graphic in nature, in that they are truly graphic. APEX (at least through 3.2) generates a standard HTML type of web page. You can do graphics type of code, but Flex creates applications that will only run with Adobe tools. Flex generates an HTML page, but it calls a .swf file and plays that.
Unless it is critical that you have that fully graphic interface (a .swf file type of image that plays), standard HTML is much better. You can still generate graphs, charts and such; incorporate images in your page and all the things that standard web pages have.
With APEX, your users will see a standard HTML web-page type of interface, which most users today know how to use and expect.
Thanks,
Don.

StageVideo with Flex Mobile Project on iOS

In a Flex Mobile project using StageVideo, StageVideoAvailabilityEvent always returns StageVideoAvailability.UNAVAILABLE.
I've been reading all day and it looks like StageVideo might not be supported with Flex projects, but I can't find a concrete answer.
I need a definitive answer, using Flash Builder 4.6, AIR 3.1, and Flash Player 11, can StageVideo be used. If so, any help as to how to get this working would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

After much trial and error, I finally have a definitive answer. The answer is yes, you can use StageVideo in a Flex Mobile project. To be honest I found StageVideo to be completely useless, at least for what I was hoping to use it for.
The first big problem is that the StageVideo plays underneath all Flash content. Second, at least on iOS, there were no video controls. I suppose you could roll your own, but I didn't take the time to experiemnt with this. I ended up just using StageWebView.
More information here: http://www.unfetteredthoughts.net/2012/01/12/embedded-h-264-video-on-ios-with-a-flex-mobil e-project/
I hope that helps anyone else looking for this.

ANE for one platform on Flex mobile project for iOS and Android

I'm very new at Flex Mobile Projects and native extension.
I have a big doubt... If I have an ANE that only works on iOS or Android, can I use it into a project for Android AND iOS?
I mean, if I want to do something and I've only found and ANE that works for iOS and another ANE that works for Android, can I create only one project and depending on the device use one or another? or should I create two different projects?
Thanks in advance

You can set them both up and when you publish just comment out the code that does not apply, this way you still keep it as one project but you can use the ANEs as needed, I had to do this with the iAd ANE only for Apple obviously and AdMob ANE which at the time was Android only.
Example
//Android ANE Code
blah blah blah
//iOS Code
code code code
Now when you publish for iOS comment out the Android related stuff
//Android ANE Code
blah blah blah
//iOS Code
code code code
Also dont forget to update your included ANEs when you publish and remove the ones that dont apply and update the XML files as needed. Its possible, but annoying, it would be nice if it was automated or could be flagged somehow so the Flash publisher would auto ignore it.

Trying to use adobe air 17 in a Flex Mobile ap

hello,
My Flashbuilder is using AIR 17 as is visible in AIR aps.
However, my Adobe flex mobile app won't let me update a certain line in the .xml
I want to change:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1">
to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/17">
Yet when I try and debug, I get a popup window that says:
Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.
invalid application descriptor: Unknown namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/17
Launch command details: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\sdks\4.6.0\bin\adl.exe" -runtime "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\sdks\4.6.0\runtimes\air\win" -profile mobileDevice -screensize 480x762:480x800 -XscreenDPI 252 -XversionPlatform AND "C:\Users\l\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\CSemt\bin-debug\CSemt-app.xml" "C:\Users\l\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\CSemt\bin-debug"
any help?

Back in the day, you had to overlay the Flex and AIR SDks to make it work. It may still be the case.
i've since switched to pure AS3 projects since I didn't use any Flex components, so I don't follow this workflow anymore, I do this instead: Update the AIR SDK for ActionScript Projects | Flash Builder 4.7
I remember following these instructions back when I was still overlaying the SDKs, maybe they'll help you:
Overlay AIR SDK on Flex SDK | Flash Builder
Obviously back up your existing SDK directory first....
Good luck!

Flash Builder 4.5: debugging Flex Mobile application on Android Virtual Device

Hi,
we are trying without success to debug a flex mobile application in Flash Builder 4.5 on an Android Virtual Device (AVD).
We can debug with real Android devices via Flash Builder 4.5, by using a standard Mobile Application debug configuration with "On device" launch method, but emulated devices are not listed in the "Choose device" Flash Builder 4.5 window.
The emulated device is correctly listed by "adb" command line tool, as the following screenshot shows:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.0\lib\android\bin\adb" devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
("emulator-5554" has been created and started with Android AVD Manager standard Eclipse plug-in)
By using the adb command-line tool we can also install applications on the emulated device, but we'd like to use Flash Builder 4.5 directly, without manually using adb.
Many thanks in advance for any direction.
PS: we can debug with Flash Builder "internal" android emulator (the one used with "On desktop" launch method), but we want to use the more "realistics" android emulated devices provided by Android SDK (Android Virtual Device (AVD)).

well that's just ... oh what's the word I'm looking for? ... um ... ah yes - inconvenient.
I've been wrestling with this too. I use VDs with eclipse all the time, I'm wondering why it's not supported in flashbuilder. I mean, it's just a VD that runs on a virtual port, plugs into the editor like a read device would - right?
I'm going to take a wild stab at this and say it probably has something to do with running a program inside (Air) a virtual machine, running inside a virtual machine inside a virtual device?

Flash Builder 4.5.1 - Problem compile Flex Mobile release build

I am building a flex mobile applicaiton using Flash Builder 4.5.1. The application works fine on the device (Nexus S) and desktop in the debug mode however, whenever I export the release build the app is not installed on the device automatically. When I manually install .apk it also fails (get Application not installed message with green check mark). Any thoughts?

Getting a big closer... Compiled .swf using mxmlc, then manually packaged .apk without any issues... When I try to run: adb install -r myapp.apk: I get the following error:
pkg: /data/local/tmp/myapp.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Perhaps certificates are not respected?

FLEX mobile project SDK?

I've built my air/android apps using "Flex Mobile projects" in Flash Builder 4.5. I really need to test front camera support in an app im about to release. Will there be a Flex version of the Beta SDK so I can test this in my flex mobile projects? is it possible to use the "AIR 3 SDK Beta 2" SDK with a flex mobile project somehow?

Yes follow the instructions here to change out the AIR version under Flex SDK 4.5.1

Flex mobile project: web root and root path for a remote web service?

Hi all,
i'm trying to set up the testdrive tutorial for flex mobile project, with flash builder 4.5
and php data.
I've uploaded the files on my remote web space (e.g. http://mywebsite.org, and the
test file is http://mywebsite.org/TestDrive/test/test.php... and it works
correctly)... But when i'm setting properties of the project, i don't know what
to write into the web root and root path fields... I thing root path is simply
http://mywebsite.org... and whatever i write in the other fields (output folder
too) i have errors when i click on "validate configuration"...
What should i put into those fields? is zend framework (and gateway.php)
strictly necessary?
As you can see... i'm a bit confused....
Many thanks for any help
Bye
Alex

I thought it was a simple question...
No advice?

Flex Mobile Project unable to run on android device

Hi,
I Have created basic flex mobile project using flash builder and i could able to run on desk top, but while running the same on device i am getting force close exception also dint get any error log. i am using samsung galaxy pop GT-S5570 as my testing device. i have configured usb driver and enabled usb debugging in my device too. any help to resolve this process?

08:20:45.751 Raw device 'sd=sd1,lun=/dev/rdsk/c3t5000CCA03EC50D5Dd0s0' does not exist, or no permissions.
Looks like either your lun doesnt exist OR you running vdbnech session not as root.
(Only a guess )

Flex Mobile Images

Hi, I am unable to see my Images in the adobe flex mobile project. I am able to see the picture before load but once the program is run the image disappears? I have tried changing the picture. The source path and the source path in source code. I really do not see what the problem is the path must be correct because the picture would not appear. I also have tried embedding the picture which still does not work. Can anyone suggest any options for me please?
The image is Source I have tried: -
<s:Image id="pic" x="48" y="53" smooth="true" source="@Embed('Assets\cat.jpg')"/>
Also attempted: -
<s:Image id="pic" x="48" y="53" smooth="true" source="('Assets\cat.jpg')"/>
In design the source: -
Assets/cat.jpg
Also: -
@Embed('Assets\cat.jpg')
Can anyone please help me as I am really struggling to find a soloution.
The images are saved in the Assets folder

Thanks. So size of the file really doesn't matter much when it comes to loading/performance because it's basically a local file (embedded with the apk) is it.
Also, if my source image is a jpg file, should I convert it to a PNG?

Flex iPad Application : Run code before application enters background Application Type: Flex Mobile Application Target Platform: iPad AIR Version: 4.0 Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6 I want to run some code just before iphone application goes

Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
Target Platform: iPad
AIR Version: 4.0
Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
of native xcode app
(https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
I used following addEventListener:
STAGE = this.parent.stage;
STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
it is not working.
So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.

Even I am facing almost same issue

Adobe AIR Needed on Android / iOS to Run Adobe Flex Apps

Hi all,
I want to confirm if the user has to install Adobe AIR before launching Adobe Flex apps on Android and iOS Devices. Is there any way that we could embedd Adobe AIR setup in the app file so that the user dont have to hastle in installing Adobe AIR.
Taimur

It gives you only three options:
Signed packages for each target platform.
Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged?

Overlaying adobe air sdk 13 for flex mobile project gives me error

After overlaying adobe air sdk in flash builder 4.6 i am getting this error in my flex mobile project "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation.". I have followed the steps mentioned on adobe site. Can anyone please suggest me what i need to do in order to get this work.

You are probably missing the updated flash debug player that describes all the new methods to the application.
There is a good walkthrough of how to upgrade flash builder to a new library version, this is described in the first video of hsharma's starling tutorials.
Its very annoying though, i wish adobe would really build in a feature like this to update libraries.
