AIR4 Mac store submission: Deprecated API

I just tried to submit my app to the Mac store (following the known steps).
Got this error back:
Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs.
I realize not many devs care about the Mac store, but are there any plans for a workaround?

Well thats not good news at all
I really thought the QuickTime API rejection was part of the WebKit.dylib issue as I thought that was the verbage when I first failed to remove it, but Apple removes all Resolution Center messages from past binary submissions so I can't even check that.
Ironically Chris Campbell even recently asked for samples of MAS AIR apps:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1386194
What AIR SDK version are you using for this submittal and are you using any ANEs as part of the app?
I know the recent AIR 4 beta on labs is all about meeting Apple's new iOS XCode 5 February 1st requirements, but I wonder if there is anything in this update that also forces any new compatibility with the MAS as well.
Only other place QuickTime API rejections come up on a Google search is for somone using a third party developer framework:
https://forum.xojo.com/7307-submiting-to-mac-app-store-and-getting-quicktime-api-error/100
Otherwise this is a pretty serious problem if the raw Mac AIR runtimes are facing new rejection issues for the MAS, my existing app on the MAS isn't due for a new update just yet so I won't know myself for a little while whether this is a new change for MAS when I go to update it.

  • Mac App store submission fails because of QuickTime API usage

    I just tried to upload a desktop app to the Mac app store and got an update email from Apple saying:
    "... Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs...'
    I'm not explicitly using QuickTime in my app as far as I know, but I do use StageVideo.  With a bit of searching it appears that other frameworks (Unity for instance) are experiencing the same problem just recently. I guess this is possibly a bigger picture issue where Apple have changed something that breaks the desktop submission process for some frameworks.
    Has anyone else seen this issue (if not then I guess maybe not many desktop apps are being submitted) and if so is there a workaround?
    ** EDIT **
    I think it is something to do with this:
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/General/CarbonCoreDeprecations/index. html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012224-CH1-SW16
    And there is at least one other person that has noticed it :

    There is a bug report on bugbase for this issue now - it looks like it will affect all attempts to upload an AIR app to the Mac App store.  If you are developing a desktop app or have existing desktop apps for sale on the app store then this issue will probably stop you releasing or updating them. 
    Adobe engineers are apparently aware and investigating but a vote if the issue affects you would always help:

  • Oh no! "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."

    Tried to submit an app to the Mac App store and I received this now:
    "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."
    Looks like a fix is in for Adobe Air (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3680732), but I'm not sure if the same is being performed on Director.
    I'm not using any Xtras or anything, I think this is just embed within the Director builds.
    Looks like submitting anything to any Apple App store is going to be on hold for everyone until this gets fixed.

    Hi,
    Looks like this issue has been fixed in April 8th, 2014 release of AIR SDK. So the latest release 13.0.0.111 on May 13th, 2014 will have this issue fixed.

  • Deprecated API Usage

    Hello,
    I have recently send my app for submission to App Store and it got rejected with this message:
    Dear developer, We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "App".   To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
    Deprecated API Usage -  Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs.
    Once   these issues have been corrected,   go to the Version Details page and click "Ready to Upload Binary." Continue through the submission process until the app status is "Waiting for Upload." You can then deliver the corrected binary.
    Regards,
    The App Store team
    I am using AIR Runtime for my application. What could be the problem ? Can anybody advise how to fix this ?
    Thanks!

  • HT1338 after upgrading to Mountain Lion the HP printer drivers for my C4680 are not found on the Mac store (per my Mac Book)

    My computer cannot install a printer after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I have downloaded the HP printer drivers from the Mac Store. I click on add printer on Print and scan, the printer is connected via USB. I get a message that the drivers on not on Mac Store and cannot be installed.

    True, not part of the list.
    An older printer? You can only try contacting HP. Note that Apple is only the "distributor" of these drivers; HP as the vendor develops them. Or not...

  • Installing Snow Leopard in the Mac Store?

    Would I need an apple care plan to let the mac store install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard on my computer because I'm getting a computer that has kernal panics.

    You can certainly make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius. They will be able to help you out with your machine, but for something as lengthy as a complete reinstall, you probably will have to pay them and leave the machine with them. It's also important to note that you will probably be responsible for the backups. Unless they tell you otherwise, it would be wise to assume they'll take your machine and hand back one that's been wiped totally clean, with all personal data and third-party applications gone.
    To learn how to back up your computer, see my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups>. To try to resolve kernel panics on your own, see [the X Lab guide|http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html]. If you ultimately decide to take it to the Apple Store, don't just walk in... visit your local [Apple Retail Store page|http://www.apple.com/retail> and make an appointment with a Genius.

  • IPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick

    iPhoto is appearing as free on MAC store and it is also featured as one of the top 10 free apps, when i downloaded it, my credit card got charged for 790 rupees. I am using the latest OSX Maverick.

    And yet to download the app you clicked on a button that told you that the app would be 790 rupees for you.
    The iLife apps and the iWork apps are only free when you qualify to get them free. And when you get them free the buy button to download them says free. When the buy button has a price on it, that is how much you will pay for the app.

  • I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?

    I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?

    "Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
    Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.

  • My final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help

    my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months.  I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer.  it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me.  I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5

    What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
    See if working on the main disk is any faster.
    USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go.  And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too.  FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
    Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.

  • I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    Thanks for your response.
    I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
    I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
    so what to do now?
    P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
    Please help

  • I have leopard OSX (10.5.8) on a macbook air. want to upgrade to snow leopard (eventually to ML). how? when no disk drive or mac store. thanks

    I have a macbook air running on OS X 10.5.8. I wish to run on the new mountain lion. I realise that i am currently on leopard which means i have to upgrade to snow leopard or lion before i can get mountain lion. However because i am on leopard, i have no mac store and because i have an air, i have no disk drive. how do i upgrade to snow leopard or lion without these?
    Any help would be greatly appriciated. if i've missed something basic im very sorry

    Apple confirmed the removal of the software this afternoon, and said that customers can still purchase a copy from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
    Non-Apple sources for Snow Leopard:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    If you call Apple then you should ask about purchasing the Lion USB Flash Drive installer if you want to skip over buying Snow Leopard.
    Be sure your model can run Mountain Lion:
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)

  • My software update shows that no update is available for my machine.  It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open.  I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

    I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app.  My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8.  I would like to upgrade to Lion.  When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime.  I can not get them to run.  What is my next step?

    As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
    The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

  • Updating iWork not purchased in Mac Store?

    Greetings. I have the latest versions of iWork (Pages 4.0.5, Numbers 2.0.5, Keynote 5.0.5) but I did not purchase them via the Mac Store, and the store doesn't recognize that I have these apps installed on my Mac. Does anyone know if future updates will by routed through the Mac Store? Hopefully, I won't have to re-purchase these apps for this convenience. Thanks!
    LibraryGary

    It's very likely that Apple will support iWork that was not purchased through the MAS until the next iWork upgrade.  Since iWork is now at 9.x, expect that iWork 10 will only be available on the MAS.

    why is the 'mac pro' missing from the mac store?
    I always enjoyed speccing up machines that i will one day upgrade to.

    ooh! i am my third mac pro and i love them, in my opinion it is still the best looking case (inside and out) on the market . Fingers crossed they can come up with something better.
