Developing for IOS with flash on a mac

Hello,
Lee Bremelow put up a good starter's guide on his blog about setting up development for IOS with flash on windows.
Can someone help me with a similar introduction to doing the same on a mac?
Been looking for one with no luck.
thanks,
romit

Hi Duncan,
In the Publish Settings window, in the HTML tab, at the top
of the window under the "Template" option is a second option:
"Detect Flash Version". Check this box. The AC_RunActiveContent.js
file will contain a couple of functions that will test the user's
plugin version. If it doesn't pass the test then the html page will
show a message telling the user to get the Flash plugin and a link
to the plugin.

Developing for the Mac verse developing for iOS?

hey all, i was focused on developing for iOS, but it seems like the Mac user share is growing so i was wondering if there's enough of a market for me to focus development on the Mac instead of iOS. from what i can see, the Mac platform has been around for decades and only has a 10% share of the PC market. on the other hand, the iOS platform has only been around for a few years and the iPhone and iPad have a clear majority of market share for the smart phone and tablet market.
what should i focus on as a first timer for Apple development? i've only had a couple years of VB experience so i'm new to software development overall.
thanks

If you can come up with a great app, iOS has the potential to make a lot of money.
Not so much on the Mac side.
I'm just finishing up my first iOS app and I'm thinking about porting it to OS X.
If you've got a couple of years of VB, be prepared for a lot of learning. Objective C isn't like VB except for the OOP fundamentals.
Good luck whatever you decide to do!

Is anyone else having trouble with Flash Player in Mac OS X Yosemite using Safari.

Publishing AIR for iOS in Flash CS5.5 gives Java VM error

Hi,
I have been getting the following error when trying to publish AIR for iOS from Flash CS5.5. I'm using AIR 2.7 overlayed, Windows 7 x64.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I tried overlaying the latest AIR as sinious suggested, but that only changed my error message by adding the line about ADT as in the original post.
I was finally able to get the app to compile by calling adt from the command line. Here is an example .bat file that worked for me:
@echo=off
@set java_cmd="C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"
@set java_param=-Xmx128m -jar
@set adt_cmd="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\AIR2.6\lib\adt.jar"
@set target=ipa-test
@set cert=iOS_dev.p12
@set cert_pass=password
@set provisioning=my_iOS_device.mobileprovision
@set build_file=helloworld.ipa
@set desc_files=helloworld-app.xml
@set files=helloworld.swf AppIconsFolder

Prerequisites on start development for iOS

Good afternoon!
Let's start developing for iOS here in the company, and I would like to know what equipment and software needed to start.
I've been searching, and apparently I install an OS X Server in a virtual machine on the server to start the development. Is that possible? I mean, do not acquire any Apple machine, but only the software I need?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply, KiltedTim.
If so, what configuration do you recommend for developing opportunistic apps for business?

Develop Apps for Android & iOS with Flash Pro CS6 ?

2. Whats different in developing Apps with Flash Pro and Flash Builder?
Thankyou

1 yes and yes.
2. flash pro is more suitable for animators (and therefore game creators) whereas flash builder is more suitable for developers (coders): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791165

Developing for 'Air for TV' with Flash builder 4.5?

How can I target Adobe Air 2.5 when using Flash Builder 4.5 so I can develop for Adobe Air for TV?
When I change the app.xml file to point to 2.5, I get the following error:
"Namespace 2.5.0 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 2.6.0 required by Flex SDK."

I was finally able to get my app on a Samsung TV. Here's some more info on this subject. You actually have to overlay the Air 2.6 SDK - not the 2.5 SDK.
Also make sure when you finally package the TV app to change the application XML to point to 2.5,. During development you can leave it as 2.6.
@see http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/airquestions/AIR+for+TV
What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?
Developers can use the following tools:
AIR 2.6 SDK
Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
Flash Builder 4.5
Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

How difficult is it to port an air ap developed for iOS to Android?

We're very pleased with the iOS app we've developed with Flash Pro, (and even happier we can parlay our Flash skills into app development).
Generally speaking, is it a huge undertaking to publish the app for Android users?
I see it's an available option in Flash, but I'm wondering if it's opening up a whole new can of worms, not being familiar with the ins and outs of Android.

Like Colin mentioned it is based on how your app is laid out, if its dynamic or is designed to be cropped by the different screens it is just a matter of a republish for .apk instead of an .ipa some things are different from platform to platform like ANE related stuff but the base app is almost identical, this is the major advantage of using Adobe.
I would recommend just going and trying it on an Android phone or tablet and I think you will answer all your concerns when you try the app.
Major headache with Android is the insane amount of devices out there in the wild, you will never have your app run smooth on all of them and it is impossible to test on each one with over 1400 out now and 1-5 coming out everyday it seems. With apple you can basically test on 3-4 devices and be covered. If you decided to publish on Android get your stuff on Google Play, Amazon and the NOOK stores to increase exposure.

What do I need to install to begin developing for iOS?

hi all, i'm going to pick up a Mac Mini this thursday with the intention of developing for the iOS platform. i just wanted to know what i'll need to do to begin developing so i can begin as soon as possible. i know i'll need XCode and a developer license from Apple. will i need anything else?
thanks

Max the ram in your mini.
Buy what you need to have a reliable backup.
Get the largest monitor you can afford.
Get an iPhone and iPad for testing.
Update Lion to 10.7.3 and use Xcode 4.3.1
Get a good image edtior, text editor and if you intend to do video and audio, apps to edit and manage those resources as well. See the (Mac) App Store.
When you have your Developer Account, see these links:

Good luck!

Downside of developing for iphone with AIR?

I've developed a few games with flash and have wanted to try my hand at some mobile apps. Most of my games are point and clicks and since I already know AS3, AIR seems to be a pretty good option.
I've asked about Android- which I plan on targeting first- and it appears a major downside is that many AIR apps woud require additional software on older phones and that the required software is a bit of a space hog.
What are the downsides for developing for iphone? Does IOS require special software to play AIR apps? Do they run particularly slowly on the iphone?

Whether Flash would be the best tool might depend a lot on whether you know Flash, what kind of game you're doing, and whether all of the features you need to do can be done. For example, if having Game Center and iAds is vital, then you wouldn't want to use Flash for the time being.
Flash based apps on iOS do include the AIR runtime engine, but it isn't an external engine that gets installed once into the system, each app would have a copy of the engine. That's good, in that you don't have to worry whether someone installing a later app might cause your app to stop working. It does mean that each app is a few megabytes bigger download than the Android equivalent.
On Android, the when a user downloads an AIR based app for the first time, they automatically get given the AIR runtime too. After that, any AIR apps that use the runtime that is already on the device only has to download the app itself, unless the app requires a later version of AIR, in which case the user is prompted to download the later version of AIR. It's not too painful a process.
People have requested that the AIR runtime be part of the APK, and I think that will be done one day, but not in the near future.

Hi!
I want to use the InterAppAudioHost example as host and then use a drumkit app as node.
Unfortunately I haven’t found any Drum Kit App that supports IAA and can be used as a node. I only find big drum kit apps, like GarageBand that works as a host.
Do you know any good Drum Kit app that support InterAppAudio and work as a node?

How much experience is necessary to develop for iOS?

I want to start learning but am not sure where to start. Should I learn basic programming language before I start, or will I be able to learn as I go?

The skills are not trivial. Pay for the program and get into the resources in the Dev Center. Start with Cocoa...books on it are ok (see iTunes/iTunes U and coding iBooks from Apple), but printed books off the rack for iOS dev'ing are just a good way to waste money - they are outdated, written against beta code and there is no way the authors support their customers...they all end up wandering the internet for help.
See this link:
iPhone Developer Beginner Resource Guide
Good luck in any case.

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

3D content for iOS using Flash Builder? Possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to use Papervision or Away 3D using Flash Builder 4.6 and compile this succesfully for iOS?
I have previously had lots of fun with Papervision and I am just wondering if it is possible to create 3D interface content for iOS and/or Android?
HR

I think Away3D (and possibly PaperVision) uses Pixel Bender shaders. They don't work on mobile devices, AFAIK. But Stage3D is supposedly coming to AIR mobile soon. That should blow the socks of any software rendering. I think Away3D will be supporting it.

Publising times for IOS using Flash CS5.5

I am doing some tests with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 3.0 and literally testing a hello world type app.
It is taking a considerable amount of time to create the ipa file. I timed it and it was about 12 minutes. I have a reasonably good spec PC son wondered if this is the normal amount of time it takes to publish?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the reply. That is really strange how the publishing time varies so much. I tested on my Mac and it was about 2.5 minutes - the great thing on the Mac is that it estimates the publishing time and then counts down the time however there was an additional delay once it had reached zero but still way quicker than on the PC for an identical build.
