Developing Iphone App using Flash Builder and Flex Air Mobile

I started developing an Iphone app using the trial version of Flash Builder and was pretty impressed with how easy it was, then i hit problems:
Trying to submit my app, I was getting invalid binary, using google i tracked this down to a change in the Apple App Store meaning that all apps needed to have native iphone 5 support, which meant updating to Air SDK 3.7
Updating to AIR SDK 3.7 was a nightmare (mainly as a result of my failure to read the small print)
Once I got SDK 3.7 to  work with flash builder / flex mobile i though i was there.
However now i can produce a fast build but everytime i try and produce a standard / production build i get strange errors (air 3.8 does the same).
My Question is - before i actually buy Flash Builder has anybody actually achieved the following:
     Building an Iphone App using:
     Flash Builder 4.7    (running on OSX)
     Flex Mobile 4.6
     Air 3.7
If so how ?
cheers

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
  "__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
      __ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
      __ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.

  • How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

    Hi,
      In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
    Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
    In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.

  • Can I develop CF projects using Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP?

    I currently develop CF projects using Flash Builder 4.5.  I am considering purchasing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.  Will I still be able to work on my CF projects using FB for PHP?

    Because in the installation instructions for FB for PHP it says that you have to uninstall the current installation of FB which I have several CF projects that I use regularly.  I hate to uninstall if it turns out that I can't transport my current projects into FB for PHP. 
    Oh that sux!  It's just an Eclipse plug-in, and one can have installed multiple installs of Eclipse OK, so I wonder why they're said this?
    OK, because I give suck advice, I'll D/L it and install it on a spare machine and take a look.  FB usually has a CF perspective does it?  So what you need to know is whether FB for PHP still has the CF perspective?
    Or are you asking whether you can install CFB (or CFEclipse) as a plug-in to FB for PHP, like one can with FB?
    Sorry about the bad advice.

  • Flash Builder and Adobe AIR: anybody there?

    Hi,
    I've recently posted quite a few posts reporting very serious bugs of both Flash Builder 4.6 and Adobe AIR especially on mobile platforms, and asking about possible fixes and workarounds.
    I would have expected immediate replies by someone at Adobe showing some interest in such blocker bugs that render Flash Builder completely useless, and developing AIR apps for mobile impossible. But there was no reply at all.
    I wonder, are Flash Builder and Adobe AIR being maintained, or have they been abandoned? Because in the latter case I'd rather know it and stop wasting my time using this platform for development.
    thanks
    m.

    I feel your preoccupations, Matteo. I have them too.
    A few days ago, Gartner issued a document, called - as usual for Gartner - "magic quadrant", related to Mobile App Develpment 2012.
    This document explains the situation of the different vendors so one can make an educated choice about the IDE to use for platform-independent mobile things.
    Adobe is well-positioned in this quadrant. However, Gartner (who have talks with vendors before issueing their reports) only referred to PhoneGap when explaining how Adobe addresses mobile app development.
    This is a shame, because FB is powerful and uses ActionScript (which many of us like).
    I have bought FB last year and had fun with it. I don't think it's going to last for long, if I Adobe doesn't show that HTML5 + CSS aren't the only way to go.

  • Developing iPhone apps using SDK - what hardware to use?

    I am planning on developing iPhone apps but am new to the Mac. I have 20 years of development experience but all on PC and web/java side.
    I was planning on buying a MacBook 13" with 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 Gig of RAM. In your experience is this enough power to develop apps using the SDK.
    What hardware configs do you any of you developers use to run the iPhone SDK?
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPhone software development kit simply requires an intel processor-based Macintosh, running the current release of Mac OS X 10.5. Your questions can be answered by browsing the iPhone developer site, starting here.

  • Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder and Adobe Air....Issues...

    My problem is simple.
    I have a flash catalyst project I importedc it into flash builder - whats the issue? its a web app. I need it as a air app. I don't know how to change it from a web app to an air app.
    Also:
    If I publish the "demo" version in Flash cat as a air app and install it, I have to resize the window? even when I set the bounds to be 800x600 it shows up on the desktop as either half that or sligtly larger. even running the swf - publishing for both web and air for testing - i have to resize the swf (unless its embeded on a page). why is this happening?
    Tha main purpose here is to change the imported flas cat proj into a air app in flash builder so i can change the default chrome.
    Thanks.

    I finally find what the problem was. It has nothing to do with either the server, neither Flash Player or Adobe Air.
    The problem came from mstc window (remote desktop software). By default it was set to display 16bit colors. I might have changed it sometime to 15bit.
    By setting it to 16bit, it solved the problem.

  • How to use Flash Builder and iphone 3g?

    Hi,
    i've downloaded FB 4.5... and i'm trying to develop something on my iphone 3g, but i've discovered (with big disappointment) that it's not supported...
    Is there any version (even a previous one) of FB that i could use in order to work with iphone 3g?
    or... will there be a patch in the future to use that phone?
    Many thanks
    bye
    Alex

    Yes. I have Flash Builder 4.6 and 4.7 running in different Eclipse Luna installs.
    More details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527443
    On Mac, I had to have the 32bit version of Luna for 4.6, and the 64bit version of Luna for 4.7 (and  I recently started using  4.7 with Eclipse Mars).
    For 4.6 you need to first download Eclipse 3.6 and install the Flash Builder 4.6 plugin to that Eclipse install. For 4.7 you need to download Eclipse 3.7 and install the plugin to that Eclipse install. Once it's installed in the 3.x version, you can then copy the fb*.link files from the Eclipse 3.x dropins folders into your Eclipse Luna's dropin folder.
    There is an issue where something in Flash Builder 4.7 won't work right when using it as a plugin, not sure but it might be something with building ANEs.

  • Library Projects compiled using Flash Builder and ANT have different outputs

    Hi Guys.,
    I am really having hard time to get something work right with RSL projects in Flex 3.2 SDK. Here is my weird problem.
    I have a library projects which has the following settings in Flash Builder
    Link Type : External
    airglobal.swc
    framework.swc
    datavisualization.swc
    rpc.swc

    When I compile my library projects I get a MyLibraryproject.swc. The SWC has the following files in it
    mx/controls/HTML.png
    mx/core/Windows.png
    library.swf
    Note: airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc has a many png files and properties files in it. But these properties and png files are not included when compiled in Flash builder.
    But when the same project is compiled using ANT compc task, i get all the png and properties files from airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc files into my library project SWC file.
    Here is the ANT version which is used to compile the library project

    #1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
    #2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
    #3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
    #4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
    #5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
    #6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
    #7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
    #8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

  • Trying to create first iPhone app, use Interface Builder or Xcode first?

    I'm trying to create my first iPhone App, do I start with Interface Builder or Xcode first? And how do I link the two together?

    It's not really that simple -- you'll be working with both. Interface Builder is used to design the GUI (graphical user interface, which consists of the windows and buttons and text fields and so forth, the parts of the application that your user interacts with). Xcode, on the other hand, is used to write the code that tells that GUI what it's supposed to do, and how to do it. So, to answer your question as best I can -- generally, I would imagine you would want to start by creating the basic form of your GUI in Interface Builder and then start coding where appropriate in Xcode, then you'll move back and forth between the two (Xcode and Interface Builder) as needed.
    If you're new to programming and want to start with iPhone apps, I recommend picking up a book on the topic (Apress publishing has a book called "Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK" that is a good one, and don't forget to take advantage of Apple's iOS Dev Center, which has lots of good documentation on most any topic that will be helpful in supplementing the information in the book you buy -- click [here|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action] to go there).
    Keep in mind, however, that trying to learn to program iPhone apps will be difficult (to say the least) if you don't already know Objective-C, and the Apress book I recommended above will not be easy to follow without understanding Objective-C first. Objective-C an object-oriented extension of C, and it is the programming language that is used to develop iOS apps (apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad). I would definitely recommend learning Objective-C on the Mac before jumping in to iPhone development in specific. Apress has another book called "Learn Objective-C on the Mac" that I would recommend for this.
    Furthermore, since Objective-C is an extension of C, you won't have an easy time learning it without a prior understanding of the C programming language. Again, Apress has a book for this, called "Learn C on the Mac."
    Put simply, learning to program for the iPhone is not something that comes overnight -- it's a step-by-step process that takes patience, and you have to be willing to go through these steps if you want to learn to program properly for the iPhone.
    Step 1 -- learn the C programming language
    Step 2 -- learn the Objective-C programming language
    Step 3 -- apply your knowledge to developing for iOS (iPhone's operating system) with the Cocoa Touch framework
    Anyways, that's just my advice -- I definitely recommend taking the time to do it right and not jumping straight into the deep end, but in the end only you know what works best for you. Also, like I said, I definitely think investing in a book on the subject is worth the time and money, so let me know if you want any other recommendations for books beyond the ones listed above.
    Hope this was helpful to you, and best of luck with your journey toward programming for iOS.

  • Built app with Flash Builder 4.6 and compiled for iOS, now error when loading to appstore

    I built a fairly simple app using Flash Builder 4.6 and have successfully deployed it to the Android Market (after testing on my own Android device).  I have also taken that same app and compiled it for iOS and tested it on my own iPad. 
    I have then done the release build with the "Final Release for App Store Distribution" option in the release build wizard.  I have all the correct provisioning certificates in place and compiled the application to a .ipa file.
    At this point, using a MAC, I have run the Application Loader utility to upload my application to the itunesConnect portal to get it in the appstore.  I've already gone through the steps of entering the metadata, price scheme, and screenshots in the itunes connect portal, and just need to upload it for review.
    When I upload the .ipa file into the application loader, it gives me the following error:
    "iPhone/iPod Touch:  application executable contains unsupported architecture(s): arm"
    Anyone have any idea what this means and how I can fix it?  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Solved it.  Just added the following in the <InfoAdditions> tag for iPhone in my app descriptor XML file:
      <key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
    <array>
    <string>wifi</string>
    <string>armv6</string>

  • Why is the Packager for iPhone guide for Flash CS5 and not Flash Builder?

    Following this tutorial, I gave compiling an iPhone project via the command line a shot and found it very difficult. The commands are not clearly explained and have character errors (“ ” instead of " ", \ instead of /, etc.).
    I've also downloaded the pdf that comes with the Packager for iPhone and tried to follow along, but the explanations are for developing in the Flash CS5 IDE...why is that? It seems that Flash Builder would be the logical development environment for developers and a dev guide...
    Can anyone explain or perhaps direct me to an easier, more official tutorial on developing iPhone applications in Flash Builder? Thank you!

    Because Flash CS5 users need more help than us Flex devs. jk
    The "Packager for iPhone" was depreciated some time ago, so I imagine you are reading some old docs. Now (since FB 4.5), it's just another target platform in a Flex Mobile Project. Before then it was part of the ADT compiler which could be run in ANT (or a really long command line string), and before then it was actually the "packager for iPhone".
    If you do not have FB 4.5 then maybe you can provide more info on the challenges your facing, and someone may be able to point you in the right direction.
    You may also want to give this a read: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS064a3073e805330f6c6abf312e7545f65e-8000.html

  • New to programming. Should I use Flash Builder 4.6 to create CRUD interface to MySQL?

    Having just acquired Creative Cloud subscription, I see that I have access to Flash Builder 4.6 Premium. I haven't figured out yet if I will eventually have access to Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP when / if it is released.
    I am relatively new to programming. I want to create a desktop application, perhaps a web application, to manage a MySQL database. I am not, at this time, concerned with mobile applications. I'm primarily interested in just managing the MySQL data -- CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations.
    Hopefully I've provided enough context. My question concerns whether learning Flash Builder 4.6 and Flex programming is an appropriate choice. Alternatively, I could just focus on learning basic PHP programming or perhaps learning to use one of the PHP frameworks (CakePHP, CodeIgniter, or Zend). It seems like learning these frameworks will take time as well, so I don't know where I should begin.
    I would really value your perspective. Are the Flash Builder related technologies here to stay? Is Flash Builder primarily suitable for mobile applications (rather than desktop or web)? Would it be more or less difficult to learn Flash Builder and Flex than PHP and one of the PHP frameworks with a view to building a MySQL CRUD application?
    Thank you, so very much -- for your time and expertise.
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    I am a big fan of Flash Builder.  You can build great desktop web applications as well desktop applications that run on AIR (installs locally to the desktop).
    I found it easier to pick up Flex (now Flash Builder) primarily due to the resources (Learn Flex in a week video tutorials http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html ) as well as a big developer community that posts a lot of how to's and walk throughs.  In my personal opinion, I think the power of Flash Builder/Flex framework is the ability to create what traditionally was seen as desktop apps within your web browser.  If you're looking to create a basic crud interface, skipping Flash Builder and just doing it in PHP may be the way to go.  If you're looking to add visualizations (ie graphs, charts) or highly interactive user interface to it then Flash Builder would be a good way to go (though keep in mind that you will still need PHP (or some other server side application layer like coldfusion) to interface with your mysql database  but Flash Builder's dataservices creates some sample php classes for you to handle CRUD using Zend).    There's lots of amazing things you can do with Flash Builder.  I'd recommend checking out some of the samples from Tour de Flex to get a sense of what can be done with Flash Builder.
    A couple of notes though - You can build and package native mobile apps with Flash Builder but if you're looking to create web apps for devices like iphone and ipads, Flash Builder isn't the solution since it compiles web based apps to Flash and we all know how idevices don't play nicely with Flash.
