Basic launch image problem iPhone 6+

I can’t get good launch-image performance on iPhone 6 + , iOS 8.3, using AIR v 17 and publishing with Flash Pro CS5.5
I’ve tested what I understand to be correct launch-image dimensions and names: 1242 x 2208 and ‘[email protected]’
I’ve also tested:
‘Default-414w-736h@3x~iphone.png’
‘[email protected]’
I create a 1080 x 1920 stage, add the launch image and get:
Letter-boxing is supplied by iPhone! I've drawn test lines on my stage, which has been shortened lengthwise courtesy of iOS 8.3
I've read that people were having problems like this many months ago, but that they've been resolved in the lastest AIR releases. So it must be me. What am I doing wrong?
And, as a follow up question, is it possible to add launch-image info to the application descriptor .xml that will be picked up in the app's info.plist?

Ok, answering my own question (sometimes you just have to ask in order to find the answer!):
Contrary to Adobe's instructions in Guide for Apple App Store submissions | Adobe Developer Connection ("Launch images are included in the root directory of the application package but are not referenced in the publish settings or application descriptor"), the launch image for, at least iOS 8, MUST BE referenced in the application descriptor in order to get into the app bundle's info.plist.
Unlike earlier iOS versions the launch image seems to have to be referenced in that info.plist.
If I'm missing anything here please supply info, corrections.
Thanks, c.u.

Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for all developers

I've opened a bug for this issue as well. I want to ask if anyone experiencing the same issue and has found a workaround. Basically Air Runtime is picking up the wrong launch image when launching on iPhone 6. It defaults to [email protected] instead of the [email protected] iOS 8 picks the correct image but Air Runtime does not. Here is the link for the bug. If this is confirmed, this could result in rejection for all the app developers who optimized their apps for iPhone 6 . It is hard to catch this bug in release mode since the Air Runtime loads pretty fast and it occurs when you device is slow or doing something in the background. You can see it easily on iOS simulator or debug mode. We tried everything for a workaround but we failed.
Bug#3831747 - Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for a…

Apple recommends the storyboard/xib option but you can still use launch images as assets in your root. When you open a new project in xcode you can look at Contents.json and see the naming conventions they use for iOS8. We grabbed the new naming convention from here. Also setting up in the application xml the UILaunchImages key works too. Please see the below example. It would be a better solution if Adobe Air refers to xml/info.plist values that the developer sets instead of hard-coded naming conventions.
<key>UILaunchImages</key>
<array>
      <dict>
          <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key>
          <string>8.0</string>
          <key>UILaunchImageName</key>
          <string>Default-667h</string>
          <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key>
          <string>Portrait</string>
          <key>UILaunchImageSize</key>
          <string>{375, 667}</string>

Launch image for iPhone 5 with Flash CS6

How do I add the required iPhone 5, 4 inch screen launch images to my build using Flash CS6. I have targeted Air 3.8 beta and there is no support for bundling the necessary images. Do I need to edit the plist or app descriptor xml file or something? Do Adobe plan to accommodate these new Apple requirments in a future version of CS6 or AIR SDK?
Up until now I have had no problems submitting binaries to the Appstore, but as of May 1st Apple reject any binaries that are not optimized for the 4 inch screen of the iPhone 5.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your effort!!!Did exactly the same, but no result.I changed the version number in Flash in the airsettings to 2.1, and also tried (1.1, 2.1. 1.0.1)After that, put another version ready to upload. Select this version in the apploader.And than it tells me: This bundle is invalid. The value for key cfkbunleversion in the info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously uploaded version.
I do not want to update my app, but only the screens you see when buying the app in de store.And also the name of the developer. I changed my apple id from [email protected] into [email protected] thought if I run an update, the apple-id of the app will change.
(I am not sure).
Hope to hear from you.
Newspaper want a interview because it's a creative app from the city, now I hope it will work in time...App name is: jabenjibbe
Kind regards,Christa.

Hey Christa,
I'm not entirely sure what process you've gone through, but as far as uploading an update goes, it's much like uploading your original app. You need to go to iTunes Connect first and log in, go to "Manage Your Apps" and then click on the app you want to upload an update for. There'll be an option on the next page that says "Add a version". You then enter the information that you need to for the updated app and click on "Save". You'll then have the button you need to click on that says something like "Ready to Upload Binary" or something similar.
Once you click on that, you need to open up Application Loader and then upload your updated app through that. If you've entered the correct information in the steps above, you should be able to choose the new version number for your app from a list. You then just submit it like you did originally.
After that, you simply have to wait. It's not instantaneous. Submitting an update is much the same as when you submit an app for the first time. It has to go through the whole review and approval process all over again. So when you go back to iTunes Connect, you'll see for the app you've updated, there'll be a green light for the older version that's approved and currently on the App Store and an orange light for the update that's waiting approval. Once the update has been successful, it will automatically replace the older version (if you chose that option earlier) and then you will only have the one green light, for the most recent version, on iTunes Connect and then people who have downloaded the app previously will get the Update alert in the App Store on their phone/device letting them know that there are updates available.
For me, the update process was reasonably quick. It took anywhere between 3 and 5 days before the update became active on the App Store. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Hally

They are the sort of errors you would get if you published with an old version of Air.

Problem with deleting images from iPhone with Mac

When I connect my iPhone 5 to macbook pro Image Acquire opens. I want to delete all images of my iPhone but with it (Image Acquire) I can't because the delete button is disabled. Why? Maybe because I noticed a locker near the images? Don't know, can help me?

Image Acquire or Image Capture?
Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
Make sure your iPhone is turned on then connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Make sure the iPhone is selected under DEVICES.
See if: Delete after import is available now.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7. Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

IPhone Application Launch Image

OK, either no one has noticed this, or I'm a complete idiot for seeing how to do this... but how do I set an image to be the launch image for my iPhone application. Apple has a whole page in their "iPhone Human Interface Guidelines" document about the launch image, but it fails to say how to actually use one.
I'm assuming something has to be done in the Info.plist, but I'm not sure what the key name would be.
Message was edited by: Neil D

the word i got back is that they are looking into making the feature available for the SDK, but probably will not be there for the 2.0 release.
i wouldn't be surprised that those apps can do stuff that ours can't. for instance, mail supports push, but we don't have that available for the sdk yet. so, yes, there must be some way to do it, but no, i don't think we can get to it yet.
my suggestion was to first look for the Default.png in the application's documents dir, then look in the bundle. this would mean that i could keep a screen shot saved in there as the user did things, then it would be available upon the next startup without my app doing anything. as it is, since my starting screen changes all the time based on what the user was last doing, i had to come up with a "splash" screen to keep it from being black. i think "peel" away that splash screen with a curl animation to reveal the real screen behind.

AIR for iOS: Icons & Launch Image question

Launch Image:
AIR has been so changed since I used it last time, I can't really figure out anything, documentation is somewhat confusing to me. Could you anyone of you please answer my question? To some, it could be pretty simple.
My app is exclusively for iPads, works only in Lanscape mode, so I've included 2 launch images, which name: Default.png & [email protected] (I named them after reading this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d129907d2886-8000.html)
When I copied final .ipa file to my iPad 2, well, its launch image appeared in Portrait mode! So, I'm totally confused as how many launch images I need to provide and what should be their name? I use Flash Professional CC to publish, I've included all the launch images in Publishing settings, so is there any order I need to follow or order in Included Files just does not metter? Please keep it in consideration that this app is only for iPads (specified in Publishing dialouge box) and works only in Landscape mode (both, left and right).
Icons:
I followed the above mentioned webpage and provided Flash Professional CC these icons: 29x29, 48x48, 50x50, 58x58, 72x72, 100x100, 144x144 & 1024x1024. I know 50x50 icon is created by AIR from 48x48, yet I provided it and 512x512 icon is only for development purpose, we need to manually provide it while uploading it to App Store, so I did not provide it.
When I copied final .IPA to iTunes, iTunes does not show App Icon as it used to show for development-ipa. So, I just want to confirm is it normal or I missed something?
Lastly, I copied final .IPA to my iPad 2, when I started it, I noticed that first it show the 'launch image' in Portrait mode (as mentioned above) and after may be 1-2 seconds, the launch image gone and it showed blank (black) screen untill my app started. The blank black screen showed up for 3-4 seconds. Is it normal?
Thanks.

Hey Yusuf,
"Default.png" is a portrait mode image for iPhone, iPhone 3 and iPhone 3GS.
For iPad 1, 2 & Mini you will need a 1024x768 image called "Default-Landscape.png".
For iPad 3 and 4 you will need a 2048x1536 "[email protected]".
So all you have to do is include these launch images in the publish settings and that's it, there is no special order and you do not require any other "Default" images other than those two. This should also resolve your blank screen problem.
It's normal for release builds not to show their App icon in iTunes, you'll notice that when you right click and press "Get Info" on an app you should be able to see the icon.
Hope that helps,
O.

Launch image VS SplashScreenImage on iPhone5

Hi!
I developed an app for iOS and Android. The app is working fine, but as everyone else, I too have a problem with adjusting the app for iPhone5 :/
I'm working on FlashBuilder 4.6 with Adobe AIR SDK 3.5.0.600 on Windows.
First, I have to say that I included the [email protected] (size 640x1136) in my src folder.
Launch image is appearing OK!
The problem starts when I want to display my SplashScreenImage...
Here's what I've done so far :
1. I'm using populary called DynamicSplashScreenImage.mxml that looks like this :
<s:SplashScreenImage xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                                   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
          
          <s:SplashScreenImageSource
                    source="@Embed('assets/splash/splash_160.png')"/>
          <s:SplashScreenImageSource
                    source="@Embed('assets/splash/splash_240.png')"
                    dpi="240"/>
          <s:SplashScreenImageSource
                    source="@Embed('assets/splash/splash_320.png')"
                    dpi="320" />
          <s:SplashScreenImageSource
                    source="@Embed('assets/splash/splash_320_i5.png')"
                    dpi="320" minResolution="1000" />
</s:SplashScreenImage>
So, I'm using the "minResolution" property to make the diference between iPhone4 and iPhone5 display.
This, unfortunately doesn't seam to work as it should... :/
Could someone please help me on this?
Thanks!

Okay, I ended up creating a DynamicSplashScreen Class in ActionScript and it looks like it's working. I changed the splashScreenImage property in my default mxml file to point to the new Actionscript class. While debugging it, I noticed it seems to call getImageClass 2x and the first time through the resolution is always 1000 - even on the iPhone 4. Not sure why this is happening, but I wanted to point it out. The only thing that I noticed is that when viewing on an iPhone 5/iPod Touch 5, I noticed that there is a slight shift with the image after a second. I am assuming that it is moving from the launch image in the src directory to where I have the splash image in the assets folder. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. There might be a better way to do this, but for now this should hopefully work!

    import flash.display.StageAspectRatio;
    import spark.preloaders.SplashScreenImage;

            s3.minResolution = 1096;
            s3.aspectRatio = flash.display.StageAspectRatio.PORTRAIT
            switch(resolution){
               // iphone 5
                case 1096:
                    splashClass = s3Source;
                    break;
               // iPhone 4
                case 920:
                    splashClass = s2Source;
                    break;

Hope this helps!

Invalid Launch Image in Flash Builder 4.6

I've been making updates and releases to my iPad app for the last several months, but just recently, I started receiving this email back from Apple:
iPhone 5 Optimization Requirement - Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5. As of May 1, all new iPhone apps and app updates submitted must support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. All apps must include a launch image of the appropriate size. Learn more about iPhone 5 support by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
I've been googling this for a while, and have tried adding Default.png (320x480), Default-586h.png (640x960), and [email protected] (640x960) files to the root directory and made sure they were being compiled into the .ipa file. With the [email protected] file, I received an additional error in the nastygram from Apple:
Invalid Launch Image - Your app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later.
So I took out the @2x file and it still failed. Now, my app isn't even intended for the iPhone5, it's intended for the iPad. What can I do to make them happy so I can keep making releases?

These are the errors tackled with this post:
iPhone 5 Optimization Requirement - Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5. As of May 1, all new iPhone apps and app updates submitted must support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. All apps must include a launch image with the -568h size modifier immediately following the <basename> portion of the launch image's filename. Launch images must be PNG files and located at the top-level of your bundle, or provided within each .lproj folder if you localize your launch images. Learn more about iPhone 5 support and app launch images by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and iOS App Programming Guide.
Invalid Launch Image - Your app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later.

I followed these steps to get my app .ipa to the point where Apple would accept it:
Download the latest AIR SDK. My Flash Builder was using the AIR SDK 3.6. From within Flash Builder I clicked "Check for updates..." and Flash Builder said it was up-to-date. BUT when checked the AIR SDK website, there in fact was a newer version. So you may need to update, even if Flash Builder says otherwise. To check, go to Windows -> Preferences -> Installed AIR SDKs. If you have AIR SDK 3.6 or less, you need to update.
The latest SDK can be downloaded here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
IMPORTANT: If you are building a Flex project (that was my situation), you will need to download the SDK without the compiler. This will be under the "Note: Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler." section.
Install the downloaded SDK. The instructions are different for Flex projects and ActionScript projects.
Flex: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
ActionScript: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html
Reference the correct version in your app.xml file. My app was using AIR SDK 3.1, which is very old. As of this writing, I'm now using:<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.7">
Include a splash screen image called [email protected] in the top-most level of your source. This file must be 640x1136 (width x height), and is required for iPhone 5 devices.
Read the following forum thread about the Non-PIE Binary issue. As of this writing, it is being regarded as "not a big deal", but Apple may become more strict about this in the future.http://forums.adobe.com/message/5281575
Best of luck. If these steps work for you, let me, and others, know here in the forums!

If you can't download 6D images to iPhone

Just got my 6D last week. Love it! Excellent implementation of WiFi to iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). Only a couple of pushes to establish connection after the first pairing.
But, I had a problem at first: From the iPhone I could control the camera, view all images on the SD card and email small, medium, large or full size images with no problem. But, I couldn't save images to iPhone Camera Roll. If I hit the SAVE icon, it would just give me a BUSY icon forever and would not save.
THE PROBLEM: Emailed and called Canon, but they had no idea except to delete and reload the EOS REMOTE App which didn't help. However, a hint from another website identified the problem. When I first connected the iPhone and EOS 6D, I accidentally hit "NO" when asked to "allow the 6D to access my camera roll". I instinctively don't allow most apps to access location services, contacts or camera roll until I'm familiar with the app. In this case it keeps EOS REMOTE from saving photos, and no error message.
To FIX THIS: On your iPhone, go to SETTINGS/PRIVACY/PHOTOS/EOS REMOTE and turn access to ON.
Immediately started working like a champ.
Great camera. Great app.

i have looked for a week and this is the answer that worked, thanks. just change the location of the download to a local drive not a server. the music did download but the video would not.

"Adobe AIR 15 Beta Sept 18, 2014" doesn't support iphone6 launch images

I entered [email protected] for iphone 6 , [email protected] for iphone 6+
I see firstly launch time and immediately thereafter (mean AIR load time) launch image is disappear (black screen, mean AIR doesn't see).
Secondly, Air is working only "ios 7.1, iphone 5" simulator. (Although I choose IOS8 sdk)

Hi Colin, according to documentation here Providing launch images for AIR applications on iOS | Adobe Developer Connection and here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d129907d2886-8000.html#WS901 d38e593cd1bac58d08f9112e26606ea8-8000
Please take a look at the below explanation
"For AIR applications, this means the launch image must remain visible until the AIR runtime is completed initialized. To achieve this, the AIR runtime displays the same launch image as shown by iOS until the app is completely ready to use"
For the new devices, as sharkhack mentioned, you can trigger the new native high resolutions with the below launch images. As mentioned here: Iphone 6 Question « Starling Forum
1- [email protected] -> 750 x 1334 for iphone 6
2- [email protected] - >1242 × 2208 for iphone6 plus
However Air does not recognize these naming conventions and tries to display the [email protected] image all the time, creating inconsistencies during the switch from iOS launch to Air Launch.

Basic RO Image won't load!

Greetings all!
While most of the spry features I've used seem to be working,
for some reason, a basic rollover image will not appear when viewed
on our site. It displays when previewed locally, and we've
regenerated the image file and rollover code many times - to no
avail. Is anyone else having such a weird quirky problem, and does
anyone know how to fix this? Other RO images etc. work just fine.
Strange...the online URL is
http://www.asdv.org/index2.cfm
Also, we're having the same viewing problems with a basic
flash animation file for the same page. It's not that it doesn't
work, it just doesn't display when viewed online. Again, locally,
all is fine. We've replaced the file with a static image until we
resolve this.
ANY ideas would be helpful!!!
Many thanks!!!

What isnt working, what element / button
As your menu roll over work just fine here..

Macbook pro retina with ghost image problem

Can i claim my retina display that have ghost image problem?

Hi there, I had the same problem with my Macbook Pro 15`` Retina. And here is how you can find out if you have ghost image problem. There are two retina display manufacturers for Macbook Pro Retina`s LG and Samsung. And if you are luck you will have the Samsung Retina Display on your mac. Here is how you can find the manufacturer for you Macbook.
Go to your Applications folder and launch Terminal. Paste in the following and hit return:
ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
Look at the beginning of the second line to see which manufacturer made your display. If it starts with LP then you have an LG display. Samsung displays start with LSN.
If your display shows LP you might have this problem for sure. So here is how you can test your screen.
A simple test to check your Retina MacBook Pro display for image retention also reported as "ghosting"
http://www.mitchmalone.name/retina-test/
Run the test for 10 Min. and you will find out if you have this problem.
And if you have it, and if you are still under waranty the Apple will replace the display with Samsung for free of charge. I hope this information helps.
