AIR sdk Problem

I was following this steps: http://gaming.adobe.com/getstarted/
and when i tried to compile examples. I've had this error:
Process terminated unexpectedly.
invalid application descriptor: Unknown namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.2
Launch command details: C:\Users\...\Desktop\flex_sdk_4.6.0.23201B\bin\adl.exe -runtime C:\Users\...\Desktop\flex_sdk_4.6.0.23201B\runtimes\air\win -profile mobileDevice -screensize 640x920:640x960 -XscreenDPI 326 -XversionPlatform IOS "C:\Users\...\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\StarlingNape\bin-debug\StarlingNape-app.xml" "C:\Users\...\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\StarlingNape\bin-debug"
I tried lastly this: http://www.flashdeveloper.co/post/10985842021/overlay-adobe-air-32-in-flash-builder-46
but the stage was moved

Same behaviour for me - if you look at the so files under
runtimes\air\linux\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources\nss3
you will see that they are all of zero size - hence too short...
Any clues, adobe???
Intersestingly, this is the 1.5.2 download, but it says version 1.0???

Problem with the AIR SDK (OSX 10.6.8)

Hi (sorry for my poor english),
I would like to install the AIR SDK in order to do development of a little application.
The problem is when I want to use the "adl" command in order to try the installation, this is the result :
MJR-2:~ Woodgate$ adl
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib

I don't why does it want to use the version 9...

MJR-2:~ Woodgate$
I can't find any solution on the web about that and all my friends with the same configuration haven't any problem...
So I can't work today... does someone have an idea ?
Thank you very much.

This is an issue with the 1.0 version of the update. Apple pushed out a newer release this morning called 1.1:

Problems with mobile projects with apache flex 4.8 and an overlay of the latest air sdk

Using flash builder 4.7 beta, apache flex 4.8 and an overlay of the latest air sdk, i got resolution problems while testing the mobile app (windows version on windows 7) with the air (ipad)emulator. That means the emulator is much bigger than my screen (logicaly seen the resolution of my screen and also like this in earlier version), but the app is much smaller than the emulator. As I have no design view with apache flex 4.8, I don't know where to start searching. Can anyone give me some input?
Gert

Hi Crill,
I don't see any error on creating new projects and running the same.
Where did you get the installer from?
What is the framework linkage type? You can check this in project properties -> flex build path. It should be Merged into code for Apache SDK.
thanks,
Sudhir

IOS 8 + landscape mode + AIR SDK 16 & 17 = problem with lost context

It's seems that the "landscape" orientation make a 100% reproductible beug on my apps when I return to it after calling the camera or "picture explorer" (with a native extension or with AS3, this is the same problem).
The problem is huge !! : no more texture present on the app, the photo taked with cam is partially visible, sometime a black square blink, no more interaction seems possible.
I only reproduce this beug in landscape orientation, with ios8 and Air Sdk 17.0.0.124 or Air Sdk 16 on iphone 6.
No problem with portrait orientation or Air Sdk = 15 or with a different version of ios.
I've modified the last "Demo_Mobile" example include in starling, put the app in landscape mode and added a simple call to CameraUI, I still have the same problem.
Any idea ?
P.S :
I'm also interested to know if someone else can or can't reproduce the beug on iphone6 with the starling example in landscape mode or
can simply call the camera in landscape mode without problem on iphone 6 with the SDK 16 or 17.

Hi,
I faced the same problem using iAd iOS Extension (Adobe and Milkman Games ANEs).
When a user clicks on one of the banner ads, a fullscreen pop-up ad is shown, and after closing this screen, the size of my app (a Starling app) is reduced by one third, I get a blinking rectangle on the top of the screen and a white rectangle on the vacuum remaining third to right.
AIRSDK 16.x.x
AIRSDK 17.0.0.123

Problem with Facebook popups (and other UIScreen based popups) since AIR SDK 15.0.0.302

As you may remember, since the release of iOS 8 it's no longer possible to upload apps which were compiled with AIR SDK versions before 15.0.0.302 (No longer able to submit app to iTunes.)
Problem is, since that version UIScreen based popups (such as Facebook dialogs in native extensions, etc.) are not presented correctly.
There's a bug report: Bug#3837136 - Apps Built with AIR for iOS 8 reporting incorrect UISCreen dimensions
And it seems like quite a critical problem given that we don't have an option to compile our apps using previous versions.
I wish we had an ETA for this issue.

Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed?

Problem updating to AIR SDK 3.8 for FB

Bad day with Adobe.
Apparently, my Cloud Creative does not allow for any assistance for Flash Builder when it stops working.
I need to pay for Expert Help I am told!
Here is my problem:
I just updated to SDK 3.8 as per these instructions for Windows:http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html
Now I get this error while trying to export a project:
Error creating AIR file:...
error:102: Invalid namespace http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8
In my app xml I have:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8">
Any help appreciated.

You may want to refer to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html while upgrading AIR SDK in FB4.7.

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

How to setup Flex SDK with latest AIR SDK?

Now the latest AIRSDK web page has a small link at the bottom for Flex users and it states that Flex users should take the SDK version without the compiler. BUT....
the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html page says to download the SDK from
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/asc2.html
but this page now redirects to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
which contains a large list of archived SDK's. So that help page never really says which version of the SDK to use - with or without the compiler. But other forum posts have implied its suppose to be the one with the compiler.
Now since we're overlaying the ...plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK folder that would make sense.
But now there's a second overlay instructions page at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
with different instructions.
So my questions are:
   Which overlay instructions are we really suppose to use?
   Which version of the AIR SDK (with or with-out compiler) are we suppose to use?
   What does the Flex Library Project properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' checkbox really do?
        If I've followed the (first) overlay instructions above, does this checkbox now mean I'm using the overlaid AIR SDK 3.6
        with the current Flex SDK I've chosen?
        What if I'm using the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK? Will the AIR SDK 3.6 overlay that?
            (Doesn't Apache Flex have AIR 3.4 embedded - will this confuse Flash Builder 4.7 ?)
Is it just me, or is this just getting more and more confusing? Can we perhaps get a AIR SDK combo box to go beside the Flex combo box and when we check the 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' then we can select the AIR SDK we want? And get a 'configure AIR SDKs...' link too? Then perhaps we can get completely away from overlays and all this merged SDK nonsense. I've had nothing but problems with it.
The real reason I need all this info is because I'm trying to use Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Android ANE and I'm having a devil of a time just trying to find my resources. When I use context.getResourceID() I'm not getting the correct resources - and after reviewing other posts here I came to the conclusion that it might be due to bugs in older AIR SDK's. So really, at the moment I could care less about the latest Flex SDK, I just need to know I'm working from the latest AIR SDK.
Thanks in advance.

If you are not using Flash Builder go here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
At the bottom it says:
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
Download the proper one for your OS and then extract it over your existing Flex SDK directory.
EDIT: Just read your post again and noticed you mentioned Flash Builder. In that case you want to follow these directions: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and grab the version with the compiler at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

Hi,
The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
DETAILS:
- Flash CS6
- AIR SDK 17
- System: Windows 8,1
- iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
REPRODUCE:
Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
Anyone else got that error?

I was getting this intermittently. Not a super problem. A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

How to install AIR SDK 15 on my iMac

Hi everyone... I built my iOS app on Flash cs6 (with the latest AIR SDK 15) on my windows computer, but now have access to a Mac. The problem though is that the Flash cs6 on the mac is running AIR 3.2 and I have downloaded the latest AIR SDK 15 for Mac but I don't know how to install it. Can anyone help me?

I assume its the same as installing any other AIR SDK's. you go to Help >>> Managed Air SDK >>> click on the + sign on the top right >>> navigate to the AIR SDK 15 folder and then done!
I'm in the same situation as you are but I haven't received my imac YET. so I will let you know once I have done this myself or you can share your experience with us?

Why reloading pure asset SWF with AIR sdk 3.6+ doesn't work?

Hi, I posted this in the AIR beta channel, but I think it suits better here... I'm sorry for double posting.
Hi,
I have a game targeting iOS using AIR sdk that needs to load many swf assets from the disk (packaged with the game). When using AIR sdk 3.5, everything runs just fine. When upgrading the sdk to 3.6 or later (-swf-version=19, 20, 21), we ran into the following problems:
1) The packaging time (making the ipa file for iOS) passes from 15 minutes to 40+ minutes.
2) The game can't load any swf twice (ie. reload a swf).
The first problem is not a big deal. We only have to wait a little bit more. Our guess is that is has to do with new feature introduced by the sdk 3.6, which will go through all packaged secondary swfs and remove the code from it, and since we have lot of swf assets, it takes more time.
The second problem is way more serious, as I have to be able to reload assets according to player's action. Since we have a ton of assets, I can't keep them all in the memory as we could quickly run out of memory.
I know that there's a documented limitation of sdk 3.6 which states:
In AIR apps on iOS running in AOT mode there is a problem when a SWF is reloaded. Therefore reloading a SWF will not be allowed for AIR apps for iOS in AOT mode and attempting to do so will result in following error:
Error 3764: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system
It also says that "Reloading of pure asset SWFs will work with AIR 3.7". However, that's not true, since all my assets are pure asset SWF without any code inside. It won't work, even with AIR 3.8.
While searching on the internet, I came across a forum post that says that the only way to know if a swf is a pure asset swf, is by using swfdump.exe, and searching for the DoABC2 tag. I did it, and effectively, DoABC2 tag was there, but empty.
So my first observation is that:
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.5
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can't be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.6+
It seems to me that AIR SDK 3.6+ doesn't care if the tag is empty or not. If it is there, then it's not ok.
Then I wanted to know why my SWFs have this empty tag. After lot of tests, it turns out that it is because I am using jsfl to automate the export of assets from a FLA file. And there comes my second observation:
- When exporting a swf without code from Flash IDE (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), there's no empty DoABC2 tag.
- When exporting a swf from the Flash IDE's library (right click on the library Movieclip -> Export Flash movie...), empty DoABC2 tag is automatically inserted.
Unfortunately, my jsfl script uses thee same Library export functionality, and it produces the same "contaminated" swf. Why doesn't it produce the same SWF from both ways of export? I have no idea.
In the perfect world, the AIR SDK would not only look for the DoABC2 tag, but it should check whether if there's code inside. Also, Flash should use the same export process disregarding if it is being called from the IDE or the Library, and not inserting empty DoABC2 tag when there's no code.
As for now, I can't find any workaround to solve my problem. That means that I'm stuck with swf-version=18, and I can't benefit from all the cool features such as rectangle textures, new Context3DTextureFormat etc.
If anyone has a solution, or simply pointing out what I'm doing wrong here, please share it.
Thanks for reading.

Hi makc3d,
Thanks for the response. After all that time I started losing hope.
I would not say that the abvious solution is to remove the tag. I think it should not be put there in the first place if there's no code at all. Moreover, this only happens when exporting a MC from the Library, and it works just fine when exporting normally (publish). It seems more like a bug than an expected behaviour.
Also, AIR should check for actual code in this tag instead of relying only on the tag itself.
Your solution is a nice workaround, and I will certainly try that out. But as I said, it will not fix the original bug, it will only patch it later on in the process.

File.upload on Air SDK for iOS devices failed to send http request to server.

I am trying to use ActionScript's File.upload to upload a file on Air SDK for iOS8 environment, but the File.upload does not work properly. No handler about the file upload is executed after File.upload is invoked, and no exception is caught. When I check the network traffic of the server side, I found that no http request even hit the server after File.upload is executed. The code snippet here is very simple.
private var file:File;
private var dir:File;
//This method is executed to create a file and upload it when the Upload Button is pressed.
protected function OnUploadButtonPressed(event:MouseEvent):void{
var str:String = 'This is test';
var imageBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for ( var i:int = 0; i < str.length; i++ ) {
imageBytes.writeByte( str.charCodeAt(i) );
try{
dir = File.applicationStorageDirectory
var now:Date = new Date();
var filename:String = "test" + now.seconds + now.milliseconds + ".txt";
file = dir.resolvePath( filename );
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open( file, FileMode.WRITE );
stream.writeBytes( imageBytes );
stream.close();
file.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, uploadComplete );
file.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError );
file.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError );
file.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, someError);
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
file.upload( new URLRequest("http://10.60.99.31/MyPath/fileUploadTest.do"));//This line does not work. No handler is executed. No http request hit the server side.
} catch( e:Error ) {
trace( e );
//Complete Handler
private function uploadComplete( event:Event ):void
trace( "Upload successful." );
//IOError handler
private function ioError( error:IOErrorEvent ):void
trace( "Upload failed: " + error.text );
//SecurityError handler
private function securityError(error:SecurityErrorEvent):void{
trace( "Security error:" + error.text );
//Other handler
private function someError(error:ErrorEvent):void{
trace("some error" + error.text);
//Progress handler
private function onProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void{
trace("progressHandler");
When executed on Air Simulator, it works fine as expected, and the file is successfully uploaded to the server. But When executed on iOS devices(in my case, iPad), as I explain early, no handler about the file upload is executed, and no the http request even hit the server. So I think the problem may be in the client side. It seems that the Air SDK for iOS just failed to send the http request for some reason.
To make my problem more clear, I list my environment below:
Development Environment: Windows7 (64bit) / Mac os 10.9.4 (Tested on OS platforms.)
IDE: Flash Builder 4.7
Air SDK: 3.8 / 16.0.0 (After I updated to the lastest Air SDK 16.0.0 , the problem still exists.)
Application Server: Tomcat7 + Spring
Target OS: iOS 8
I have been struggling for this for days. So I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bluewindice ,
As you have quoted ( ActionScript's File.upload does not work on Air SDK for iOS devices ) , this issue has been replicated at our end, and our team will be working on it.
Thanks,

Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8

Hi
In my app Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8. Does any one know soluton for this ?

Hi,
There's no question that TextFields and TextAreas weren't working in our case, likely because we have a deep displaylist with a variety of object types. Presumably, AIR has changed how it looks through the displaylist for objects that need keyboard, and perhaps we have an object type somewhere in the hierarchy that AIR no longer recurses. It's definitely something that changed, though.
It's no picnic to put together a sample app, I can't afford that time when I have a solution. But the symptom was very clear, a textbox would open, and the cursor would just blink with no way of interacting with it.
I'm happy using StageText directly, because it's a more direct way to interact with the OS and gives more control.
It also solves a bug in AIR that I haven't reported yet, but is as follows. Rarely, when you move the container of a TextField of TextArea after it has been created, AIR will crash and freeze iOS devices. It doesn't happen on Android or desktop, but with a user-base of about 100,000 of our app, we've had it reported maybe 50 times. One of our dialogs sometimes needs to reposition the elements, which is done animated. During this, AIR will crash about 0.01% of the time. We tried only creating the TextArea, but not activating it or even having it visible, but even an invisible TextArea will crash, presumably because AIR moves the internal StageText overlay around as well, and this confuses iOS after a while during the animation.
By using StageText directly, I finally also have a way to get rid of this bug, because I simply don't activate StageText until the object has already been positioned. Prior to that, it isn't even an editable text field, it's a label like anything else. So I'm happy I did this solution.
Let's just leave this thread as a record if someone else has the same problem. I'm quite sure it's because of our very complicated display list, and AIR having changed how it scans the displaylist for objects that need keyboard.
Best,
Per

AIR SDK 17 - mailto subject line error for non English devices

Hi,

I am using Air sdk v 4.0.0.1390. I have checked my manifest file also and have added '<softKeyboardBehavior>pan</softKeyboardBehavior>' still it is not panning my content while keyboard appears.
Has anybody faced this problem earlier?
(On Android i am getting this problem on iOS it is working fine)

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at https://bugbase.adobe.com? When adding the bug, please include some sample code or a sample application so we can quickly test this out internally. If you'd like to keep this private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes.
