AIR 3.9 as3 IOS app stuck on launch / loading / splash screen

When deploying an app to ipad2 ios7/iphone4 ios6/iphone5 ios7 the app doesnt get past the loading/splash screen.
Ive tried debugging on the device via usb but doesnt even hit the first breakpoint on the firtst line of code. Also deployed via testflight with the same result ie stuck on the loading screen.
I released the app in December but the app freezes on the loading screen from the app store!!?? Ive no idea how this passed apple testing etc and it previosly worked. ..Has anyone got any advice on how to debug this or does anyone know what could be the problem?
Ive now created a VERY simple app for testing, this includes all icons etc and just displays some text in a text box. This also freezes on the loading screen.
Im using Flashbuilder 4.7 with air 3.9
Ive updated compiler arg with -swf-version=22
application descriptor updated with - <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.9">
included icons are -

I have the same problem, AIR 4 (1628) and compiler -swf-version=23; testing on iPad3, iOS 7.0.6
The app launches less than half of the time successfully.

It might have something to do with the new way iOS7 shows the last active screen of an app as a screenshot and optionally replaces it with the running app, if the app had been killed in the background. That way, it seems that more apps are running concurrently than the device supports. There's often a flicker showing the real app behind the splash screen WHEN I minimize a stuck splash screen.

Tecra M3 - Stuck at Toshiba BIOS Splash Screen

Not sure what to do here with this one...
Bit of history... we bought my niece a used laptop for surfing/movies which worked fine when I had it a few weeks setting it up and such, she had it a week and it's now dead. Some days it works, some days won't even turn on. So, after much work determined it to be a motherboard issue, and since it was a $200 DELL, we optedto buy another laptop.
I grabbed a used Tecra M3, been playing with it all week, games, surfing, you name it, seemed a gtood solid performer. I give it to her, she goes upstairs, plugs it in, powers on and just sits at the splash screen.
Two nephews have no issues with theirs, wondering if possible the power outlet surging and killing the systems? She's 16, so (hopefully) knows how to handle a laptop carefully.
Regardless... can't afford another dead laptop. Stuck at startup BIOS splash screen, won't go beyond that. Won't let me into the BIOS, and if I hit too many keeps too many times, laptop just beeps per keystroke.
Any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, not much of a support forum... 2nd posting and neither issue I had had any responses at all.
In case someone see's this because having the same issue, the hard drive was very loose, barely making contact and fell off when I touched it. Pushed it all the way back in and works fine. Pegs on the panel designed to prevent the drive from becomming lose, not very good, still allowed the drive enough wiggle room to shake loose.

Are macbook air computers sufficient for ios app development?

Looking into learning how to build ios apps and would like to know from those experienced how much computing power is necessary for building apps.

Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

Camera App Won't Launch from Lock Screen after update

After updating to ios 8 and then 8.1 my camera app will not launch from the lockscreen. When I swipe up on the camera app I see my home screen wallpaper until I press the home button or the lock button.

Hey morpeo,
Thanks for the question. Let’s see if we can isolate the issue further. To do so, try restarting/resetting your device:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after a restart, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Launch a splash screen when an iPhone app starts

Hi, I am trying to make a simple game for the iPhone, and when the app launches, I want a splash screen with instructions to come up. I also want the user to be able to push anywhere on the screen to dismiss it. However, the splash screen doesn't load! I made a new nib file with the splash screen, created a view controller, and a UIView subclass for the screen. Then, I inserted this code into the applicationDidFinishLaunching method of the app delegate:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[window addSubview:[splashViewController view]];
splashViewIsCurrentView = YES;
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
if(splashViewIsCurrentView) {
[[splashViewController view] removeFromSuperview];
[window addSubview:[gameViewController view]];
splashViewIsCurrentView = NO;
I forgot to mention, in interface builder, I made the splash view's class as SplashView, and the File's Owner as the SplashViewController. Also, splashViewIsCurrentView is a boolean I made.

I like the idea behind your use of "splashViewIsCurrentView". I think that may solve my problem.
I too have a full-screen instruction view pop up over the main input view of the app. The instruction view is added as a subview of the main input view. I want to dismiss the instruction view with a touch. However, in the instruction view view controller, the touch even methods are not fired - even after twiddling with enabling user interaction on the instruction view and its subviews of label and fiddling with their frame sizes. While the instruction view is displayed over the main input view, the touch events are actually still associated with the main input view (and its controls) underneath. Seems like I am forgetting something but i don't know what.
Your solution will probably work well and it is similar to what I was originally doing in handling the touch events in the main input view view controller. However, technically, it seems kludgy to not be able to handle the touch events in the instruction view view controller where it seems to make more sense to do so.
Would you or anyone else know why or have any suggestions on things to look out for? The view and controls involved are all supposed to be descendants of UIResponder. Is there a bug or restriction I'm not aware of? Wondering why you went the route you did. Seems like you may have run up against what I am currently facing.

App builder keeps hanging after splash screen images added

After I upload all my splash screens for SD and HD, I cannot proceed to the next screen.
There are green checks next to HD and SD, and all looks good.
I have not uploaded any fonts as there is no HTML in the app.
I have deleted and re-downloaded the app builder and still get the same behavior.

The problem was that one of the images had a resolution of 72.09 instead of an even 72. after I changed it it worked. Thanks.

AIR for iOS app crashes on launch - only on iPad1

Hello,
Been working on an iPad book app in FlashBuilder 4.6. Early on there were some performance issues with iPad1/3 until learning about GPU rendermode and setting the StageQuality to low. These helped immensely.
However, recently the app starting crashing on startup - only on iPad1. For example page 1 of the app which had worked weeks ago would now crash. After more research, it seemed that the static references to all the page classes that were put in the ViewController were the issue. They seemed to be overwhelming the memory. When I put only a static reference to page1 in the VC it worked. And then in page 1 were static references to page 2 or 3. Or whatever pages it might link to. Now, after reworking the 70 other pages to only static reference the pages they need, it is crashing again.
My question is this, if I have page 1 with a static reference to page 2 and 3. And each of those have references...all down the line to say page 70, are all those in essence getting loaded into memory at startup?
The bigger question is how best to manage the memory of an AIR app that will have ~ 120+ "pages" or views in MVC parlance? Ideally, I only want the dynamically created view in memory but don't think it's working.
After doing some research was thinking about loading/unloading swfs that have references to needed classes via ApplicationDomain.
One interesting thing noticed is this. When launching the app in the debugger, it traces out terminated and the app quits. However, when double clicking the iPad home button, it shows the app still running. Not sure why that is?
Pardon the lengthy description.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks, MTG

@Fahad,
It happens when the actual game is being played. I'm using AIR 3.2 SDK in flash pro cs6, I started this project before 3.3 was officially released, tested this on an iPad 1 with iOS 5.1.1.
I used hi res stats to monitor memory usage and the app consumes less than 8MB of memory.
Thanks

IPhone 4s not recognized by windows 8 after updating iOS and stuck on "connect to itunes" screen

I tried updating the iOS on my iPhone4s and now it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. It also doesn't show up in the devices folder of my computer (windows8.1) but makes the notification sound when connected to a usb port. It also isn't recognized by itunes, but that's probably because the computer doesn't connect to it either.
I've tried reinstalling iTunes multiple times, updating the driver for the usb port, and pressing the sleep/home buttons as i connect it but nothing has worked and I'm still stuck on the connect to itunes screen.
Also, every now and then, the iphone screen blacks out and the disconnected from computer sound plays, then a second later connects again

New apps stuck on wait/loading/installing

hi, I just tried to download the "Bloomberg" application via 3G/Edge.
icon is stuck on "Installing" but nothing is happening since 20 minutes. thinking it was something messed up I tried to download another app and now this too is stuck on "Loading". I tried to reboot the phone but nothing has changed. if I go to store it says "installed", clicking on icon nothing happens as well.
problem is that I can't delete these icons because "X" won't appears on them.
this problem happened after I updated to 2.2.
anyone has a solution, beside restoring?
tnx.

I am having the same issue. As a temporary fix... Delete the troubling apps from your applications in itunes. Plug into iTunes, go into the application tab of your phone's and uncheck the check boxes next to the apps that are causing you issues. Now sync. Now the app should be removed and you can try to redownload it. Make sure you are on a good quick wifi - I feel like my problems only occur when I'm not connected to a reliable wifi

My iPhone 3G is stuck in the loading reformat screen?

I tried reformatting my Iphone through the settings erase all contents and settings. Then it went to a loading screen ( round thing that spins ) it's been like that for 7 hours already. Is this natural or it hung?

That is definitely not natural even if you did have alot of content on the device.
I suggest to try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- when the apple logo appears release both buttons
If that fails to resolve the issue you may need to try a restore via recovery mode. The article beloiw will help guide you on how to do this:

Adobe air exe to ios app - the process?

Hi,
I am new to app development. I am wanting to know what is possible and my cheapest option in creating an app for IOS from windows.
The app I am creating is a technical publication wanting to be displayed on anipad.
I have an adobe Air version exe published from robohelp/ framemaker. Is there a way to turn my adobe air application into a IOS App?
If not, what are my other options to get a tech pubs document as a IOS App? I would like to use ideally windows adobe products for the creation of it.
Thanks

Ye that Merapi definitely seems interesting but it's the Java chops part that I think I'll fall down lol
I've also asked on a java forum if anyone with experience of using Flex in Conjunction with Java can create the function that I'm after but my topic has been ignored like the ugly girl at the prom.
I've never heard of a socket server. Would they be required to be installed on each machine that the interface is installed on?
I'll definitely look into it. Thanks a lot mate.

Load an interactive slide into an AIR iOS app. Is it possible?

HI,
Imagine having a Flash app which could dynamically load an external interactiveSlide.swf with which you could interact with. You could then unload/remove the interactiveSlide.swf.
I'm wanting to create a similar model for iOS.
So I create my AIR iOS app that can dynamically load external content. My question is does anyone have any ideas how I could package the interactiveSlide so it could be loaded by the AIR/iOS app?
.swf obviously wouldn't work.
Thanks,
Mark

HI Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
Thanks
Gary
