AIR app won't compile with custom icons

My AIr app won't compile when I choose anything but the
default icons. I created 4 pngs in Photoshop and it gives me the
error: Useage error (incorrect arguments)
Any help? I've tried using only 1 icon, all 4, and no icons.
Only no icons works.

You dont have to use the GUI to set it, you can use the air
appliation XML.
inside your air-app.xml file look for something like:
<icon>
<image128x128>icons/myIcon128.png</image128x128>
<image48x48>icons/myIcon48.png</image48x48>
<image32x32>icons/myIcon32.png</image32x32>
<image16x16>icons/myIcon16.png</image16x16>
</icon>
if its not there add it, but replace the myIcon128.png with
your 128 point png image etc.
also the above assumes your icons are in a folder called
"icons" in the same directory as your air file.
Hope it helps.

IOS AIR app won't install with new certificates

I've been devloping my first iOS app in AIR for a few months. Testing on up to 3 devices has gone fine. It's time to submit to the app store. I'm developing for a client who wants the app in their name in the app store. So they set up an Apple iOS developer account and gave me access. When I made a new set of certificates and profiles with the new account the app failed to install on my testing device. I've remade all the certificates multiple times and double checked that I have the correct UUID and am not using a distribution profile.
Is there a problem using someone else's account with keys and certificates made on my mac? What else can I try?

Hi, you need to apply a migration signature. For more information, please refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WSFAB6E5EB-316A-42b0-81A3-0BC232ACD99A

Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
Thanks.

You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

AIR app won't debug or compile in FB 4.7

So I have an AIR app that's been around quite awhile, going back to Flex Builder 3 and AIR 2.x...
I've recently upgraded to Flash Builder 4.7 and I had no troubles with this app until today when I tried to run it in Debug mode -- I got some errors about namespace, did a Google search, found out that I needed to overlay the AIR SDK onto the Flex SDK (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html) and I followed those instructions...
Then when I re-loaded Flash Builder 4.7, I started getting stuff like "Could not resolve <mx:Module> to a component implementation." So more Google searches, and I found out I needed to change the name-space from xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" to xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx". So fine, I did that...
Now I'm getting "Unable to resolve MXML language version. Please specify the language namespace on the root document tag." Can't find anything on this on Google -- well, nothing that works at any rate... Found someone suggesting I add the fx: namespace, so I did: xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
But when I add that namespace, I get "Cannot resolve <mx:Script> to a component implementation."
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?! I just want to debug my AIR app like I used to be able to in Flash Builder 4.6. HELP!
Thanks,
L.

I changed <mx:Script> to <fx:Script> and now it seems to work fine...

Adobe AIR apps won't open

I have all of the sudden had issues with all of my AIR applications. I recently tried installing 2 new ones and the icon will bounce in my dock for a few seconds before disappearing as if it were quitting before anything happened. Installations of the apps seem fine, but the app just won't open. Seesmic desktop told me that I could not update, as well. Something about checking my logs, but to my knowledge I haven't messed with AIR since I got Seesmic. Should I uninstall then reinstall?

Hi,
You might want to try reinstalling the AIR runtime to see if that helps. It would also be interesting to try installing a new AIR app (like tweetdeck for example) to see if that is also effected.

Can't publish with custom icons

Whenever I attempt to publish an AIR app for which I've selected a custom icon, I get an error message, "An attribute or element contains an invalid value in the application descriptor file. (application.icon.image128x128)"
Looking in the file "TL Report processor-app.xml" which is created alongside the app, I see that where presumably the path to the icon file should be, I see:
<image128x128>AppIconsForAIRPublish/AM initials.png</image128x128>
instead of the complete path to the PNG that I entered in the Publish settings.
What the f@*# gives?

Hi Cj
There are a zillion threads on this general problem so you will find plenty of detailed ideas and fixes if you need to go digging. But your problem sounds like one I have from time to time even with 1.1.1. My fix has been to delete the notorious prepublishstate file from the domain package for your iweb site, and then to make minor changes to the pages where comments are not showing. Then republish your site and bingo there they are.
If I have spoken too much in code and riddles and you want to try this fix but need more precise details, just let me know.
Regards

Attachments with custom icons

If I attach an item with a custom icon to a new message, that custom icon is dropped. Any way of preventing that?
Comments appreciated.

@Petteri_Paananen,
While exporting your AIR application..You will be asked whether to include files or not..(Include Files window appears) in which you need to make sure that they are checked.
Please refer to the screenshot..

Air app doesn't load with renderMode set Auto

Adobe Air app is not loading on my customer's Android device with renderMode set to Auto, while it works fine when renderMode set to GPU.
I guess in Auto mode it tries to set it to Direct and fails.
I'm using Adobe Air v3.6
Android device is Polaroid PMID-971C
Android version is 4.0.3
Unfortunately, I have limited access to customer's device, but logcat shows the following:
"Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE) at 0x00004de8 (code=0) adobe air"
Any help or fix would be highly appreciated.

From the docs that I could find (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f-5d0f4f25128cc9cd0cb-7ffd.html), it appears that "auto" mode = cpu mode.
The default value is auto, which currently falls back to cpu mode.
Is this happening on multiple devices or just the one? Any chance we could get access to your application to try it out? If so, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? If you'd like to keep your app/code private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.

AIR App won't install if different certificate is used

Hello!
I've taken over a project that was previously developed by another company.
Now I'm using my own certificate to codesign the air application. The problem is now, that the air installer won't allow to install the application if the old application (codesigned with the certificate of the previous developer) is installed on the system. It doesn't even say that there's a codesign problem it just drops the error (translated from german:)
Unfortunately an error happened.
This application cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author
(german Original: Leider ist ein Fehler Aufgetreten. Diese Anwendung kann aufgrund eines falsch konfigurierten Installationsprogramms nicht installiert werden. Wenden Sie sich an den Anwendungsautor.)
if i check the system.log, i can see:
Installer[1190]: The certificate of the installed app fails to match either the signature or migration signature of the AIR file
if I uninstall the old version of the app first, then the installer will install the application without problems.
However - this application will be distributed to many clients. It will be quite confusing for them If they just see the error (cannot be installed because of a wrong installer configuration. Contact the application author.)
What's the reason for this error message and is there a way arround it?

Why? Air App won't appear in Builder

Hi,
I am experiencing something odd, and it must be something I
am doing wrong.
When I'm using Flex Builder (latest version/updates etc) and
execute an Air app during development sometimes it won't appear,
even though there are no compilation errors. Even if I close Flex
Builder, and re-open, running the buid doesn't display. Its a very
simple app example app so there is nothing which should cause it to
fail. Is there a process that I need to kill because it thinks its
already running? I don't see any processes like that...?
What's going on?
Many thanks for your help.

1) When hovering over the run or debug buttons at the top of
Flex Builder to start the app, make sure the tooltip displays the
name of your application rather than some other project's name. It
normally defaults to running the 'default application' (or the last
one executed, or currently 'active', I forget); you could be
running the wrong project/application by accident.
2) Not sure if this would prevent a new instance from
running, but check your task manager processes for something
like... adl.exe (I think?) and kill any you see. You can find the
actual name by starting the app and from the Task Manager
"applications" tab, right-click select "Go to process" on your
application's entry there. It'll bring you to the process running
that window so you can see the name.
I've probably had this happen a few times but I can't recall
what else may have caused it atm.

App fails to compile with mxmlc command-line but builds fine with flash builder IDE.

Hi,
i have this flex app (its a flex project created from flash builder ), it compiles fine when i build it from IDE.
it fails to compile when i do it from command line through mxmlc.
i am invoking the mxmlc at the location <flash-builder-installation>\sdks\<flex-ver>\bin\
the mxml file is test.mxml
i am invoking like the following
c:\<bin>\mxmlc test.mxml
i dont have any dependency on any of custom swc file.
i am getting the following type errors when i compile it from my .as file
Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent
Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: File.
Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: FileStream
could you please let me know what i am missing here ?
thanks,

Is this a AIR app or a mobile app? If you are building AIR app for desktop then you can use amxmlc instead of mxmlc.
If its a mobile app then use mxmlc +configname=airmobile

Quicklook won't preview certain custom icons

I was rather proud when I found Tranformers png files with transparency (from http://www.michaelbay.com/blog/files/d58812e5a390e8b3a44162285e4ae054-74.html ) and immediately set about changing my Leopard and Vista volume icons. Unfortunately, neither icon will preview in Quicklook or in Finder's Coverflow view. However, they both show as normal icons on my desktop.
How can I get them to show in Quicklook and in the Finder's Coverflow view? I have found that these icons once pasted onto a folder's icon (in a get info window) will make the folder not be visible in quicklooking or in coverflowing, so maybe I have to convert the icons... any ideas?

There is something very strange about them indeed. I have a collection of pngs that I use as icons, you open the png file in Preview, select Edit->Copy, then select the file or folder you want to use the icon on, do GetInfo and Paste. Presto changeo, the png is now the icon on the item. It shows up in CoverFlow no problem. When I tried that with one of the pngs from the site the folder was invisible in Coverflow. Weird. I though perhaps there was some mysterious change in 10.5.2 so I downloaded one of my own png files, did the same thing again, using it, and no problem. Just like always. I decided maybe the original transformer png was just too bloody big (although I have no idea why that would make any difference), so I tried resize to a max of 512 pixels, then resaved with a different name. Still a no go. So I reopened it in Preview, then did a Save as... and saved it as a Photoshop file (psd), opened the psd version in Preview, copied it, pasted it as the icon onto a folder, and it worked--briefly. The folder with the icon was visible in Coverflow, and then it disappeared again! Never seen the like. I used my Automator workflow to add an icon to the original file, copied that in GetInfo and pasted, and it worked just fine. So it looks like the only way is create a custom thumbnail using something like CocoaThumbX or VitaminSee, then copy the custom icon from the file. The shortcoming is that those icons are only 128x128, so they are a bit smallish for good display if the Coverflow section is very big.

.air files (Air apps) won't install

Hello everybody.
After having successfully installed the latest AIR runtime, I downloaded an .air app and tried to execute it, to no avail. First off, the .air file was not associated with anything, therefore Windows asked me what application I would want to run it with. I then tried to associate it with airappinstaller.exe that can be found under Program Files\Flash Player\Addins, but any time I execute it I get a message saying that there was a problem and I should try to install the latest AIR runtime (which I have already).
I'm kind of lost, what's the problem and how should I deal with it?

Glad you were able to work around the problem. The latest runtime shouldn't have issues making the appropriate .air extension association. If possible, try uninstalling and reinstalling the AIR 2.0.3 runtime. If you still run into problems, please post your installer log file so we can try and dig deeper.
Thanks,
Chris

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.
