Air 3.7 for Flex on mac

It sounds so simple and probably should be, but I just spend 3 hours trying to get the most basic setup running and I'm lost in the mess Adobe created. I followed a couple of tutorials and documents but none seem to be working.
All I want is to generate a Flex for mobile project with the latest Air 3.7 SDK.
I tried steps to replace the airsdk that is now deeply hidden in flashbuilders eclipse folders. That only allowed me to create an actionscript for mobile project with 3.7, but not a Flex project.
I tried to download the Air sdk that supposed to be for flex developers (http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/latest/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2). I overlayed these files into an existing Flex 4.6.0 folder. The result was that Flashbuilder didn't recognize the folder as a Flex SDK anymore.
I tried the latter step on a PC and it work so far that I can compile and debug flex for mobile apps on the ipad (with fast mode). Standard mode and export release build end in an never ending packaging process (1.5 hours now for a hello world app and still at 0%)
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi,
The Apache Flex project has a few scripts that will help you on OSX.
This will dowload and check the MD5 hashed of all playerglobal.swcs into a Flex SDK.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/flex/sdk/branches/develop/ide/checkAllPlayerGlobals.sh?view=m arkup
This will download and inject any version of the AIR SDK into a Flex SDK.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/flex/sdk/branches/develop/ide/addAIRtoSDK.sh?view=markup
The latest versions in the Git develop branch support AIR 3.7 (but harder to provide links to - sorry).
Thanks,
Justin

This is from a tester describing what happens on a Mac:
No the program does not launch properly on the Mac
What happens is this.
I open my applications folder
I open the App Folder and see another folder labeled Program V2.1
I open that folder and see the Program blue icon which click to launch
The folder disappears and the blue Program icon appears in my dock along side other applications looking ready for launching.
This is where the problem starts
If I click on the blue Program icon which is in my dock along side all of my other application icons they all drop off the screen. like the screen resolution changed suddenly or something,
The menu along the top of the screen also moves off the screen . in the same manner
so my desktop which usually has a visible dock at the bottom and a menu bar on the top now doesn't show either of those elements.
I do have a couple of document icons on my desktop , you know text files or what ever they never move
If I now click my mouse anywhere on the screen all of the icons return including the blue Program icon still sitting in by dock, if I click it again same sequence of actions.
I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Air and got the same result
I also want to mention
The top menu on the mac tells me what application is active, you know "finder" "Open office" "Firefox" what ever is program is running and active shows there
Program has never show up as being active in the top menu so I'm guessing never fully launched

Macbook Air or Pro for student with Mac pro already

Hi guys,
I already have a Mac Pro as a desktop, but I need a notebook for High School (Yr 11 student in Australia)
I am deciding whether to get a MBA or MBP.
Macbook Air
11in Screen
128GB SSD
Core i5
Backlit Keyboard
Lightweight
But, Less value for money
Macbook Pro (refurb.)
(Early 2011 Model)
13in Screen
320GB HDD
Core i5
Backlit Keyboard
Sturdy
More value for money, but unnescessary power
$1099
Optical Drive
The MBP has lots of power, more USB ports (3?) and SD Card Slot, along with optical drive. But it is also just over twice the weight and thickness.
The MBA is sleek and beautiful, has two usb ports (really all I need) is fast, but costs $150 more, for a hard drive half the size, and a smaller screen size and is really light.
I don't need heaps of processing power, I need a laptop that goes on the bus everyday, and needs to be sturdy (a little worried about the MBA on buses and bags being thrown around - but nothing a case cant fix). Im just thinking i dont need the extra power of the Pro, but a lot of people in my classes have the 13in so I am confused about what to get.
Thanks

I think you have answered your own question.
If you value portability more than power, then the MBA 11" is the way to go.
For most day-to-day computing, there's not much between the MBA 11" and MBP 13". The MBA may in fact feel faster due to the SSD than the MBP with is mechanical HD.
I have the MBA 11" and am happy with its performance compared to the 13" MBP.

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.

Wps HP printer to air port extreme for imac and mac air

Just purchased a HP C310c p/c/s/p/web . it has wps protection. air port extreme has wpa. how do i proceed?

The AirPorts do not directly support WPS. Instead, you would need to configure your HP printer for either a WPA or WPA2 protected network depending on how you have already setup wireless security on your AirPort Extreme. You should be able to find a setting via the printer's control panel to allow you do so.

Adobe AIR 13 Runtime Security Bulletin for Windows or Mac

According to 5/13/2014 - Release - AIR 13 Runtime and SDK, the update for Adobe AIR 13 on 5/13/2014 includes fixes and security updates "Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-14)", we have two questions:
1. Why the Adobe Air 13 runtime for Windows and Mac is not listed in the security bulletin APSB14-14, like APSB14-02?
2. Was the version released before Adobe AIR 13.0.0.111 for Windows Adobe AIR 4.0.0.1390 or Adobe AIR 13.0.0.83?
Thanks!

MacWorld did a comparative evaluation of the October 2008 MBA with 1.86 GHz processor and the Mid-2009 MBA with 2.13 GHz chip. Their conclusion was that that 1.86 CPU was actually FASTER than the 2.13 in most applications.
http://www.macworld.com/article/141296/2009/06/macbookairmid09.html
They speculated that the 2.13 chip was being throttled by Apple to control heat issues and that's why it tested SLOWER than the (supposedly) slower 1.86 part.
Have to wait for testing of these new MBA units to know if the same thing occurs. But, for the Rev. B and C MBAs, the 1.86 part was actually faster in real world use!

Exception in C++ air native extension for Mac OS X

I develop air extension for ios and mac os x.
I use the same code on ios and mac.
For ios all good.
But on mac - have problems.
In extension I use std::vector. Code example:
vector<Type*>* types; types = new vector<Type*>(); Type* type = new Type(); types->push_back(type);
Application crashed by line:
types->push_back(type);
I tried add try/catch block - but application crashed too.
I don't know what wrong. This code is work fine on ios and in console application for mac.

Workaround found:
Need to launch adl as a line command (depends on your directory config, of course):
/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/bin/adl -runtime /Library/Frameworks/ -extdir /Users/vandrito/Desktop/simpleAirNativeExtension/launch/extensions -profile extendedDesktop /Users/vandrito/Documents/Projets/o3sui/simpleAirNativeExtensionTest/bin-debug/simpleAirN ativeExtensionTest-app.xml
Pay attention to the library location: it is the one of the Air 3.1 install. Did not check the same trick with Flash Builder 4.6 Air install.
Then use a fake web debugger to connect to the process (if compiled in debug mode). See here how to do (french):

I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

Does the new AIR SDK support iOS 64-bit for Flex Developers?

I saw that the new AIR SDK(December 18, 2014) has supported iOS 64-bit, but it was only supported in the new compiler. See this:
Please note that support for creating universal IPA binaries will only be available in the new compiler. The legacy compiler is not (and will not be)
compatible with iOS 64-bit. Because of this, it will be removed with version 16 of the AIR SDK. To ensure that Adobe as well as third party tools
are able to work with this AIR SDK, the -useLegacyAOT option will continue to exist, but will be internally mapped to the new compiler.
AFAIK, the Flex uses the old compiler and AIR SDK for Flex Developers doesn't include ActionScript 2.0 Compiler. As a Flex developer, what shall I do?

Hi,
I guess, you might be packaging IPA on windows machine. Please try latest beta at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html which has iOS64 support on Windows machine as well.
Thanks

Air Display app for Mac Air???

Will Air Display app for Mac enable me to use my Mac Air display on a larger, Windows monitor? Thanks.

Yes, but not the Mac app, the Windows app. Just buy the Windows version of the Air Display app from the Avatron web site: http://getairdisplay.com, and download the free Air Display video drivers for your Mac.
You can try the Windows app for free for up to an hour of connection before deciding whether or not to buy.
Cheers,

Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

AIR Extentions for Flex Builder 2

I was watching some video's on lynda.com about developing
AIR/Apollo applications with Flex, so I bought the software. One
thing it mentioned was to make sure and install the Apollo
extentions for Flex which can be found at the adobe website. I can
not find the extenions anywhere!? Can anyone point me in the right
direction as to where I can find the extentions?
Thanks in advance.
Greg

good to know. If I try the Beta version of Flex 3 with my
Flex 2 serial number, will I be locked into using the Beta version?
Or will I be able to upgrade to the full version Flex 3 when it is
released? Thanks in advance.

Flash Builder and AIR 3.3 for Mac App Store

The new AIR 3.3 will bring "Improved Mac App Store Support": http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-3/
But I have 2 questions:
In what way will have be the improvement ? What do different from the past in this aspect ?
Will be (and when) a new Flash Builder version in the configuration of the Mac App Store certificate to deploy AIR apps for the Mac Store ?
As I can see from here: http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide there is a lot of procedures to make that a new Flash Builder could automate/make the developer life easier and what will be different from the guide in the new AIR 3.3 from the AIR 3.2 about the App Store ?
