AIR + iPad retina issue

Will the air to iPad retina issue be fix in the flas pro cs6?

Hi guys,
1) I'm currently running a trial copy of CS6, Air 3.2, and I get 'App descriptor cannot parse file' error whenever I try to modify the xml file.
I'm just trying to remove the icon shine, which worked fine in Flash 5.5.
<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key><true/>]]>
Also, I tried inserting the 144x144 icon, which published ok, but didn't seem to work. And that line of code later disappeared from
the xml.
2) My mac is Snow Leopard, so I take it I have to upgrade to Lion (do I have to buy it, or is it free to developers?!)
If I then get the latest XCode, and target ios 5.1 with Retina display, will my apps still be compatible on devices with iOS 4?
Thanks,
Matt

TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

IPad Retina Resolution - PPI issue

Hi All,
I am really struggling to get my head around what is going on in my document.
I am in process of creating a page for iPad. it only has to be a single PDF which will then go off into a magazine (publishing company will be doing this).
Now the iPads all have different resolutions and PPI abilities. The original iPad and iPad 2 are 1024px x 768px @ 132ppi and the iPad Retina is 2048px x 1536px @ 264ppi.
(See - http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ for specs).
Now my issue has arrisen after I have tried creating a document in inDesign with the settings of 1024px x 768px @72ppi (default & unchangeable ppi settings).
I create my image which ive made large enough & dense enough to ensure quality at the top end iPad. This image is at size 2172px x 1536px @ 528ppi (.
When I place the image into the document at its full size, it is tiny inside the document. You can see this in the attached screenshot.
Can someone please tell me what is going on, pixel wise and what I should be doing to create a document suitable for its prerequisites.
Many thanks,
Tim

Now my issue has arrisen after I have tried creating a document in inDesign with the settings of 1024px x 768px @72ppi (default & unchangeable ppi settings).
While placed images do have a pixel resolution, Indesign documents do not. So, when you make a new document with the Intent set at Web or Digital Publishing you get pixels as the initial measurement units, but you are free to change them after the doc is created.
For measurement purposes Indesign assumes there are 72 pixels in an inch—obviously that's no the case for most monitors and tablets. The Link panel's effective pixels per inch reading is relative to the page dimension in inches. So, if you accept the iPad 1024x768 preset and change the measurement settings to inches you'll get 14.22" x 10.66" almost twice the size of the iPad's physical dimensions.
If I scale up a 264ppi image to fill the page on a 14.22" x 10.66" page I get an effective ppi of 144, but when the page is eventually displayed on the smaller 7.7" x 5.8" iPad screen the effective res will go back up to 264ppi.

Can i ask for the model number of the ipad air/mini retina which is warranty in VietNam ??

Hi
i want to ask for some model of the ipad Air/mini retina that could be warranty in Vietnam ?
i did call to the apple center in vn but they refused to provide the model number that will have warranty support
thanks

You can ask, but only Apple can decide how to address your complaint.
If the problems are related to each other it would seem reasonable to request a complete replacement, but no one here can speak on Apple's behalf.

Air 13 ipad retina on Simulator

Hi everyone,
i just got my app rejected by AppStore because of the retina resolution issue. It was showing half size of screen.
i had standard resolution...
now i already changed for high.... And hoping it Will be ok...
HOping because i didnt found a solution to test it since i have not an ipad retina....
how can i test retina resolution on my desktop computer ?
i Am using flash pro cc on a windows machine.
thanks,
GOncalo

lHI GrandMaison, i was asking about a windows solution, but as i didnt fóund any, i Will check that solution on a Mac computer.
Thanks a lot for your help.
It seems at first glance a smart workaround : )
but.... Looking at this comments it seems risky

I tried this and have completely lost my display on my MacBook Pro, the only way I can see anything at all is to hook up to an external display and close the laptop screen. Is there a way to reverse this process?

I have an iPhone 5s and iPad Retina (not the air)--are chargers interchangeable?

I'm wondering if I can use my iPad retina--not the new Air--charger to charge my new iPhone 5s if I was ever in a bind.

Yes it actually is shown as compatible as far back as 4gen iPods

AIR App on iPad retina

Hello,
Juste have a basic question.
I would like to compile with IOS SDK 5 in order to get the full display capacities of an iPad 3 retina. But if I submit this app to the app store, how will devices running on iOS4 will react ?
Do I have to developp 2 apps, one for iOS5 and another one for iOS4 ? Then, how the appstore will make the difference ?
Thanks for any help

You need not develop separate apps for iOS 5 and iOS 4. You need not use the -platformsdk option to package the AIR app to be able to use the full display capabilities of an iPad Retina since AIR 3.3 itslef supports iOS 5.1 SDK. Please find more details here.
Also, you need to set <requestedDisplayResolution> tag in application descriptor to high.

Sync Issue On Ipad Retina

Hello
I have an issue on my Ipad Retina. I sync it with Macbook (OS X ML).
I have delete manually from IPAD menu some video. Since, I can't sync it anymore.
When I launch a sync, during 5th step I have an information about sync of SAFARI tools (anti pitshing data base) and after no item sync (music, video or books).
Do you have an idea.
Last time (second time that happens) I had to re initialize the IPAD completely...
Thank you for your help.

@JimHdk: it is certainly a problem with the iOS platform, as I do not have the lip-sync problem while playing the same video on a Microsoft system. It seems to be a compatibility issue (i.e. time taken to perform a video format conversion might cause the delay in the video, as the audio does not need conversion, ...). I wondered if Apple have a solution, app, or some sorts of setting to resolve these type of problems.

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

Question about Apple's new iPad retina requirement.

Apple recently made it a requirement that apps support all retina displays for both iPads and iPhones.
What acceptable options are available in AIR for supporting the iPad Retina display and still meet Apple's new requirement?
Here's my situation :
I've been working on a universal app using AIR 3.6 that works well in all iOS resolutions other than for iPad retina (2048x1536).
When building native support for the iPad retina resolution, the app performance is very poor (due to having to animate and manipulate such large bitmaps). The coding approaches that I've used are supposed to be good on performance, so I doubt that I can optimize things to the point where the performance would be acceptable using the larger art assets.
In comparison, when I use an older version of AIR (3.2) and let the iOS compatibility mode automatically scale up the app to fill the 2048x1536 screen, the performace of the app is just fine (and looks almost identical).
Would using this type of approach cause an app to be rejected by Apple now?
It appears that AIR 3.6 added the ability to restrict just the the iPad high resolution (without restricting iPhones ) using :
<requestedDisplayResolution excludeDevices="iPad3">high</requestedDisplayResolution>
It seems that this would solve my performance issue, but I'm not sure if Apple's new "retina support requirement" would result in my AIR app being rejected if I used this approach to disable iPad Retina support.
Does anyone know if Apple will now accept an app that was built with iPad retina support disabled through this approach?
Another option that I've tried that may be a workable solution is :
During launch when 2048x1536 resolution is detected, the app loads all of the 1024x768 art assets instead and then scales up the app by a factor of two (using scaleX = scaleY = 2).
The above seems to generate acceptable performance. The artworks looks a little blurrier and less crisp using this approach due to the scaling, but is acceptable to me personally. As this is technically using "standard" resolution art assets and scaling them up, would taking this approach get rejected by Apple?
I'm open to any other options/approaches/suggestions to adding iPad retina support that would allow me to address the performance issues on iPad retina and still allow my app to get approved by Apple. I'm just a little bit confused on what constitutes an app having "iPad Retina" support. Does the app just need to be compiled with a newer version of the iOS SDK to get through the approval process, or does this mean something else?
Thanks.

Seems like you have two options, if you are already scaling stuff down after launching at a higher res why not make it an option. Have a setting for "High Resolution" and one for "High Performance" the difference would is one would run in Retina mode and one would run in standard mode so users with iPad4 and iPhone5 could probably use the High Res but iphone 4 users can switch to the High Performance setting.
The way I have dealt with it is design everything to a 1024 width and 640 height, this is standard Kindle Fire resolution but almost all devices crop the app in a way where all the key features fit on screen, I just had an app approved 2 days ago by Apple using this technique so basically I am running 1024 graphics on the retina screen, they look great (we are only humans and we can't make out every pixel despite what Apple thinks) and the performance is nice as well. I think they worry about apps being stretched for some reason when apple ups a 1024 app to a retina width using their software it looks horrible but if it is done by the developer it looks great. Download a non retina app and try it on a retina iPad or export your app for Standard resolution and check it out vs exporting for high.
I think you will be fine either way.

Benchmark scores of the iPad Air & iPad Mini are odd.

Go to this page below:
http://gfxbench.com/result.jsp?benchmark=gfx30&data-source=1&version=all&test=54 6&text-filter=&order=median&os-Android_gl=true&os-iOS_gl=true&arch-ARM=true&arch -x86=true&base=device
Notice anything odd? I do. Why is that iPhone 5S is at the top of the benchmark score chart & iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina which both have the same hardware as the 5S (but more powerful) are nowhere to be seen next to it. In fact, The devices are actually on page 3 with lacklustre scores compared to the mobile phone ._.
The same can be said for any of the benchmarks too.. I've even done all of the benchmarks on my own iPad Air & it's very true, iPhone 5S (a mobile phone) is getting way better scores than the iPad tablets.
Can somebody please explain to me *** is going on with these scores? 'cause I'm confused. Upon doing research, I've found that the Apple A7 in the iPad Air & iPad Mini devices are essentially the same but more powerful than 5S cause of the slightly higher clock-speed & more spacious thermal headroom in the tablets.. So I fail to see why the 4S is getting vastly more impressive scores in any of the benchmarks.

True.. I do believe you have a point there, iPad Air & iPad Mini Retina both run all of these benchmark tests in Retina (2048x1536) resolution compared to all of the other mobile devices on the chart running them at far lower resolutions.. so of course the scores on the tablets aren't going to be as competitive.
Having said that, for reasons unknown.. Quite a few memory/performance issues currently plague the two iPad tablets on iOS 7.0.4 so I believe we'll see more truthful scores once iOS 7.1 releases which I've found (via watching YouTube vids of the new beta firmware in action) supposedly fixes the issues.
We'll see, I guess.

GPU Mode crash when using 1024x1024px images on iPad Retina with cacheAsBitmapMatrix

So I am building a menu for a mobile app and I have created a sliding menu with tiles, I have done this before, all works great normally.
This time, my tiles were really close to the power of 2 ( 1024x1024px ) so I decided to use that size and resize my tiles to that for performance gains.
So the setup is this:
GPU Mode active, 7 movieclips with 3 frames each, PNG images in those movieclips sized at 1024x1024px. So that's 21 png images.
I need to use the cacheAsBitmapMatrix feature for full smooth performance and when I do, it crashes on the Retina device when loading 1024x1024px images.
On non-retina devices I load the lower resolution assets ( 512x512px) and that works perfectly fine with the cacheAsBitmapMatrix on. On the iPad 1 it runs super smooth.
So I started playing around with the different render modes:
No crashing on CPU mode and no crashing on DIRECT mode, only on GPU setting.
The retina device is NOT out of memory, it does not do anything really heavy. It just loads in these movieclips in a sliding menu, and tweens their alpha, scaleX and scaleY ( which is not part of the issue as it crashes without this too ).
In summary:
1024x1024px images inside of movieclip containers crash an iPad Retina device when using cacheAsBitmapMatrix.
The fix I have found is to just lower the image size a tiny bit: from 1024px to 1016px, it resolves the crash and makes everything work perfect.
So, what do you guys think this could be? I tried with previous versions of AIR (3.7,3.8) and it happens on those versions too. I am using the latest beta of AIR 3.9.

I have not had that happen to me, so I can only speculate, but here are some questions that might help us narrow down the problem.
1. Were the slides created on your ipad, or did you create the presentation on your mac/pc & then import it onto the ipad for presenting?
2. You said When not using Keynote projected images are sharp." Does that mean that the same images used in the presentation display fine on the same projector when you open them in Phoots or another app?
3. Is it only the images on the slide that are compressed, or does it impact text as well?
If you run the presentation on your ipad, not connected to any outside screens, dothe pictures show up normally, or are they compressed then as well?
Like I said, I havent' had this happen to me. My first guess (without knowing any of the details) is that maybe the presentation was created on another device & it was not set to display as 1024 x 768, but at some other aspect ratio, and since that it what the iPad displays at, it is compressing the slides to fit.

HP ePrint mobile app on iPhone 4S & iPad Retina--Both devices say "Photos (0)"

I have just installed HP ePrint mobile app on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad Retina. However, when I go into the app, when the main screen pops up ("Photos" -- "Cloud" -- "Web" -- "Email"), when I tap "Photos," on either device it says: "Photos (0)"--i.e., I'm assuming that the app thinks I have "zero photos" on both devices, which of course is not true. Other details: (1) I have a Photosmart 7510 on my home wireless network; (2) I am able to print OK to the 7510 using Apple "AirPrint"--no problem there; (3) I can also print using either device (iPhone or iPad) using the HP "PrinterControl" app. So, how is it that HP ePrint mobile app cannot "see" my photos on either my iPhone or iPad (especially since they can "see" those photos when using the HP "PrinterControl" app). Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this situation.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The issue is related to the privacy settings on ios 6. To resolve this go to settings on your device, then you should see a privacy section. In there go to photos and turn the eprint app on. This should work to allow you to see the photos.

ITunes recognizes my new iPod Touch 5G as if it were my iPad Retina

I bought a newiPod Touch 5g. I already own a couple older iPod Classics and a realtively new iPad Retina. I run iTunes on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
When I plug in the new iPod Touch 5g iTunes recognizes it as my iPad Retina. I've tried the usual starting and stopping Apple Mobile and Ipod Services with no luck, as well as rebooting, closing and opening iTunes, etc.
At my wits end!

Solved one problem: the iPad was showing up because it had "Sync via WiFi" clicked. Once I turned that off, that issue was solved.
Problem is more genertic now. Windows sees the iPod as a camera only. Tried all the problem solving steps in other threads with no luck, including rebooting.
iTunes sees my iPad and an old iPod Classic, but not the new one.
So is my last resort is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes?
THanks so much for your help.
