[ANE] Repacking for simulator and fake support of device

Hello,
I have a question about anes, here is my problem : Some of the anes I use don't have simulator support or all-device support (only android, only iOS,...)
In my code, I of course test the device before calling anything so its fine from a runtime point of view (never had a runtime issue).
But, it does refuse to compile/launch. I know I could use multiple projects, compiler constants for imports, blablabla, but the best way to increase productivity would be to have them support all-device and simulator even if they do nothing with it.
So what I tried :
- rename ane as zip
- edit extensions.xml, add proper stuff
- rezip and rename back, and of course, don't call anything in the ane if you know your support is just "fake" for that device
It works for simulator BUT if I use the rezipped ane in a iOS build (which was supported), it refuses to build a release. So I have to switch ane back and forth.
It doesn't work if trying to add iOS support (well it compiles but when installing on device, install never ends). I tried adding a fake library.swf for iOS with only empty functions but didn't work.
Haven't encountered the case where I need to add new Android support so I can't say for that one.
Anyone knows of a quick way (which doesn't involve recreating all the concerned anes, since I don't have source code for them) ? Would create a huge productivity boost here.
I hope question is clear enough.

Understand that I'm not going to tell you that what you want is wrong. There's nothing wrong with wanting Flash on a tablet. The only problem is that the future of Flash no longer exists for tablets.

You can go to a competitor, but it won't help you in the long run since Adobe Flash on mobile is dead, and by the hand of Adobe themselves, not Apple. Here's the official announcement from 2 months ago:
Adobe Abandons Mobile Flash, Backs HTML5
You do have one alternative left: Buy a Windows-based tablet now. Why now? Because in mobile versions of Windows 8, Microsoft will no longer allow plug-ins like Flash:
Microsoft Follows Apple, Bans Flash From Windows 8 Tablet Software
In fact, even Microsoft's own Flash competitor, Silverlight, will not be allowed to run in tablet versions of Windows 8, only in desktop Windows.
In the end, your last alternative will be to buy a Windows-based tablet that, ironically, does not run the tablet version of Windows, and then never upgrade it to Windows 8 mobile. You will probably be able to be run Flash then. But since the tablet will run desktop Windows, have fun with 30 minutes of battery life, maybe less after you boot Flash...

....they could easily have a much larger majority of the market with tablets by supporting Java and Flash.
Uh...all the way up to now, the iPad practically has the entire tablet market to itself. How is it possible that Flash would have made that significantly larger?
Seen from a different perspective...how is it that all the tablets that support Flash have completely failed to make a dent in the tablet market?
Neither angle seems to support what you're saying.

    I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question; How can I speed up my Macbook?

    Hi
    In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
    Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
    I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
    If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options).  Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
    After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
    If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

    Hello there,
    I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer.  From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI.  I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it. 
    Thanks!
    Masaya

    Hi there,
    Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported.  Could anyone let me know?  Thank you.

    Hi
    You can configure 2 dialer interfaces one for dial in and another one for the dial out purpose.
    make the 2nd dialer interface as a backup interface for your primary interface and define the floating routes accordingly..
    would suggest to go thru the following link which has the whole lot of possible config scenarios discussed and it may help u out in getting the things place ..

  • AuzenWDM Pack 1.0 and "No supported audio device detected"

    Hi there,
    I installed the AuzenWDM pack and have the driver working properly, however when it comes to using the rest of the software in the pack none of it works, I get the same similar error of "No supported audio device" or similar. Now I know this driver pack works because thats what I used before reinstalling windows recently.
    My specs are:
    Win 7 64bit
    AMD 4400+
    4Gb DDR
    A8N SLI Deluxe (nforce 4)
    EDIT: It might help to tell you that i have an XFi Fatality (launch model with the front bay)
    Any help with is would be appreciated?
    Thanks

    I noticed there was an?AuzenWDM .5 pack so I have tried that, but still the same problem none of the software will detect the audio device yet the driver installs fine.

  • Message for Itunes and quicktime support personnell...

    why won't you fix this bug?? your support personnel don't know wat is going on with these registry errors and quicktime. give us an email address or something so we can contact you! you have a serious error and this has been going on for too long... FIX IT!!!

    the registry error i am getting is simply this:
    Access is denied.
    that is it. nothing more nothing less.
    yes i am logged on under an administrator.
    yes i have tried it in safe mode.
    yes i have tried editing in in command prompt.
    i did find how to fix it though. find the registry files that will not let you look at them or delete them. right click it. choose advanced, or settings or watever. click the owner tab. put your name there. (it will be the only name there). only after you do that for every single directory and subdirectory entry, will you be able to completely wipe quicktime from your computer. then you use the standalone installer of quicktime v 7.0.3. that is the only currently known permanent fix for it. this is way too much trouble for apple to put 25% of the users that this affects through. a simple rechecking of the code is all thats nessasary, but this is a sign of a lazy programmer.

  • Filters for video and FPS on mobile devices

    Hi,
    I tried to apply a filter to a video on mobile phones and had a strange effect:
    When I apply the filter to a 24 FPS source video the resulting frame-rate after applying the filter drops to about 7 FPS. But if I use a 8 FPS source video the frame-rate is even lower at about 3-4 FPS. I expected an higher, or at least equal resulting framer-rate with the 8 FPS source video. What's the reason for this behavior?
    I use the Flash Player 10.1 for Android 2.2 and the Google Nexus One.
    Greetings
    Stefan

    I know that there is no "calculation" of the Framerate! You do not understand my problem: if the client is capable to calculate 7 frames=images per second using the filter, why it only calculates 4 images per second if I take exaclty the same source video stream and just reduce the delivered framerate to the device of it from 24 to 8.
    So with regards to your anwser: the highest rate the client can handle is about 7 frame per second when the filter is applied.
    And just for the understanding: I have a video object who displays the video stream from a streaming server. On this video object i apply the filter one time and afterwards each frame is processed applying this filter. So there is no alternately applying and removing of filters.

  • How do I use home sharing for music and apps from different devices that already have Apple IDs?  We have music from CDs and iTunes.

    We have a iPhone 3G used as an touch, a 4S and 2 5s that I would like to share the music and possibly the pictures but i dont know how to set it up since we all have our own Apple IDs.  Please help.

    Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

  • Windows and OSX support for Proximity

    Is there an install for Windows and OSX support for Proximity.
    I have upgraded all of my endpoints to TC7.1.2. (SX, C Series, EX) and Proximity is working great however most of my users bring laptops to meetings not iOS devices.
    Any timeframe ?

    @dshumake; nice try ;) (thanks for being forgiving with us)
    @ablaisdell; agree!
    @fcosgrove; we are currently starting a limited trial for Win and Mac clients (EFT, part of TC 7.3). The main feature for the laptop client is sharing FROM your laptop to the video endpoint, so you can skip the cable, dongles etc in the room.
    We do have plans for supporting call control and content receive to the laptop as well, but that's later. 
    The first PC & Mac version has target for first half 2015, but is subject to change (as in: not yet committed).

  • Is there any library with new components for download and put into multisim? I need ISO124 and I don't know how to make it...

    People, I am not experient on Multisim and I'd need help to make one component. First, is there any library or something for me to download components that are necessary and are not there? If there isn't, can someone help me to find ISO 124 (isolation amplifier) for simulation and PCI??
    Thank You!

    Leocechet,
    The ISO 124 from Burr Brown (now part of TI) is one of my favorite ICs (although noisy)... I would check on the TI website and if no luck do a general google search to see if there is anything similar out there for SPICE models.
    If I remember correctly the ISO124 uses a proprietary capacitive isolation barrier (mod/demod across barrier). The signal chain and performance of the ISO 124 may be difficult to mimic with a standard opamp model, but you can try as a start.
    If creating my own I would use a standard opamp model and then use a voltage controlled source to model the isolation barrier (again it wouldn't be that sophisticated but you could possibly add to it).
    Hopefully that will get you started. If you find a model and need help in importing it let us know.
    Regards,

  • Package Java ANE file for desktop

    Hi!

    How do I stop getting notifications from the wrong instagram account on my iPhone?
    Okay. So, I made a second instagram account with my friend for trolling, and I decided I wanted it out of my life, but forgot the password and used a fake email! I have no way of logging on or deleting the account, so I figured I would just forget about it. But after I logged back on to my regular one, I kept getting notifications from the fake account!! I don't know what to do because there are some vulgar things that keep popping up and I just want them gone! :'( Can anyone help??

  • My Mid 2007 24" iMac has been a bit laggy on Yosemite and getting worse every day, so I went to the Apple Support pages on Apples website looking for help and thought I'd found some. This is what I did and it made everything 100 times worse :(

    So here is what I found and what I did to try to alleviate the RAM eating upgrade named Yosemite. This guy has helped quite a few people, you can read all the comments and I gave it several tries this morning.
    Oct 23, 2014 10:59 AM
    I post this hoping to help those users who, like me, are experiencing high CPU usage and massive memory leaking with OS X core services and apps, leading to slow performance and battery drain.
    I've tried everything mentioned, but found the right combination of steps to follow. I've tried this with seven different Apple computers, including mine, and has worked well so far. I applied this method yesterday to give these process a 24 hour window to fail again, so far everything good.
    First step: disconnect any external or secondary monitors, if any is present. The video memory allocation leak can also happen if you have a system with an integrated card, like Intel, with no external monitors attached.
    Second step: Shut down your machine and enter Safe Mode (press shift once you turn on your computer again, more info below). Once you're there, fix your disk permissions.
    Guide of how to access Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    Third step: From Safe Mode turn off your machine again and reset your System Management Controller (SMC). There are different methods, depending on machine, to do this. To know what method applies to yours read the following guide.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Fourth step: Once your machine completes a full boot after resetting the SMC turn it off again and reset your PRAM (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, BUT THE PREVIOUS ONES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THIS ONE TO WORK). The PRAM stores small bits of data that indicate our Apple computer how to interact with the devices connected to it, including monitors and video cards. It also affects software.
    To reset it you should hold the OPTION, COMMAND, P and R keys in your keyboard immediately after turning on your machine again.You'll hear the start up chime, continue pressing the keys until the machine boots and the chime starts A SECOND TIME, then release. IF YOUR YOSEMITE INSTALLATION LOCKS UP AT A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THIS, DONT PANIC! It's normal, just turn off your computer and let it boot again.
    More info about PRAM: OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    Voila, reconnect your external displays and enjoy your system.

    I hope to hear from anyone even to knock me in the head, lol. Thanks in advance and I'll be around trying to figure this out.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
