Director 12 won't publish an iOS app

It was working fine (if lots of bugs appearing on the iPad) and then the certificate ran out.
I updated the keychain cert and the provisioning file and now it won't publish the .ipa file.
Anyone struck this?

There are other issues involving certificates...someone recommended checking the Keychain to make sure there are no duplicate certificates. Also suggested checking to see if there are any certificates in "root", because they should be in "login".
The reason I suspected the codesign phase in the IPA publishing sequence is because Director would progress with the process up until about 99% completion. With the Keychain "locked," the system gives the message asking for codesign permission. That, appearing at the very end of the publishing process, gave me some sort of clue but I kept thinking the certificates were mismatched when they were actually just fine.
It was only when I had the console utility running to see what was going on that I saw the reference to the Xcode path. I had already repeatedly deleted and reinstalled certificates. In my case the failure was because Director couldn't find the Xcode /Developer folder, wherein, I suppose, dwell the Xcode command line tools Director needs to finish the job.
Verbose error messages from Director during the IPA publishing process would be helpful to say the least. There are several places where publishing the IPA can fail.
Something occurs to me...forgive me if this is too obvious a question...but are you using certificates for iOS publishing or are you using certificates for OSX applications? They have to be iOS certificates and provisioning profiles. I assume that is what you have done but I bring it up just in case others may be trying to sign iOS apps with Mac development certificates. I confess that I am not an expert in these matters...
Another thing is to make sure there is an Apple Intermediate certificate in the Keychain. More detail here, near the bottom of the page.

  • Docs created in iWork beta won't open in iOS Apps. Why?

    Any docs that I create in the beta apps of Pages, Keynote &Numbers that are saved to iCloud will not open in the iOS version of iWork.  I get a message that I need to upgrade to the latest version on iOS.  When I do that, I go to the App Store and see that I have the latest version.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

  • Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

    I have two issues:
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
    Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
    2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
    Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
    Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
    Thanks!

  • Is there doc for the exact steps to publish to iOS?

    I am looking for the EXACT steps for publishing to iOS. the Xcode doc talks about "making an archive" but that doesn't seem to work because it is specific to apps made entirely in Xcode. I can get the IPA to an iPad or iPhone attached to the Mac but that's it. certainly I could FEDEX a device to somebody else for them to see it but no, that is not a solution.
    this link (Publishing to iOS devices using Director 12) does NOT have enough information. there are steps missing. for example if you make a Provisioning file on developer.apple.com that version will fail showing a yellow icon when dragging it to the Organizer.
    maybe there is a link that I am missing. please help.

    Hello webdesignsf,
    I’m in the same situation as you – I’m just about to finish my first iPad app, and will be submitting it to the Apple iStore very soon.
    ( Can someone please verify this procedure below )
    As soon as I figure it all out, I’ll write down the steps.
    regard Milky.
    In the meantime, I’m guessing…..
    Get a distribution certificate & make a distribution provisioning profile
    Create icons and screen shots
    (??? maybe  -   Setup for embedded icons – edit the info.plist to reference a unique icons - see the bottom of this message for more info ???)
    Make your .ipa file with Director 12 (using the above distribution certificate – provisioning profile)
    Change the extension of your .ipa file – from .ipa into a .zip   (you just rename the file!)
    Unzip this .zip file –  (this will create a folder called ‘Payload’)
    Find the ‘Payload’ folder – inside you’ll now see a .APP file!
    Highlight this .APP file – and with the right mouse button - select ‘Compress’
    (This will convert the .APP file into a .zip file – this is what Apple calls a binary file)
    Navigate to the iTunes Connect area of the iOS Dev Centre
    Download and install the ‘Application Loader’ utility from the iOS Dev Center  -  (I think is's now a part of xCode too!)
    Go to the Manage Your Apps page and click 'Add New App'
    Fill out the forms describing your company and application
    When asked upload the icons and screenshots
    Save the app description
    Back on the Manage Your Apps page, select the app description you just created, and click the Ready to Upload Binary button
    Fill out the Export compliance form
    Your app should now be in a ‘Waiting for upload’ state in the manage your apps page
    Now use the Application Loader utility to upload your binary file.
    Other Notes:-
    There is a whole list of recommendations for getting apps approved by Apple - I'll write these down one day.
    make sure your app is as small as you can get it, and make sure it’s fast to load up the first screen (3 seconds or less)
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/app_store_guide.html
    Guide for Apple App Store submissions | Adobe Developer Connection
    There are loads of youTube videos that show submissions to the app store with other development systems,
    but they are mostly the same, when it comes to setting up the distribution certificate etc...

    Setup for embedded icons:-
    Submitting icons and screenshots is a part of the app submission process.
    But you may need to create a Director made ‘ipa’ file, with unique icons already embedded first ???  I just don't know yet???
    (pallottadesign) wrote some instructions regarding this way back in May 2013 – I don’t know if this step is needed anymore – but I added it here in case....
    Re: director 12 IOS publishing icon plist
    pallottadesign May 1, 2013 6:17 AM (in response to ralph2511)
    Editing a separate info.plist to reference your app icons is actually a better approach than altering the defaults within Otto.app.
    The procedure is simple:
    Put your unique app icons in the same folder as your Director file. You can name these icons whatever you wish, or name them the same as the defaults in Otto.app, i.e. "projector_72x72.png" and "projector_57x57.png", or you can give them unique names.
    Copy the info.plist file to the same folder as your Director file.
    If you have given your icons unique names, open the info.plist file in Xcode and find the "Icon files" key. Edit "Item 0" and change the entry to the name of the 72x72 pixel png icon. Edit "Item 1" and change the entry to the name of the 57x57 pixel png icon.
    Save the info.plist file.
    Within Director, open Publish Settings and in the "Files" tab, enable "Copy linked and dependent files." Click on "Add Dependent Files" and navigate to the folder with your unique icons. Select each one and make sure that the radio button is checked for each one.
    In the iOS tab, select the "Info Plist Path" option and navigate to the location of your edited info.plist. Select the info.plist file in the dialog box and click "Choose."
    Publish your iOS app and test. The icons should now have been embedded within your iOS app bundle.
    You may be able to put the icons in an "images" folder within your app folder structure, but you will still have to use the "Copy linked and dependent files" and "Add Dependent Files" options to have that folder and the icons bundled within your iOS app.
    If you intend to develop apps for the app store, you may need additional icons at larger sizes.
    For reference: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystem ProgrammingGUide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html

  • Can the trial version of Director 12 publish iOS app for in-house distribution?

    Can the trial version of Director 12 publish iOS app for in-house distribution? What about the purchased version, any limitation on the type of distribution?

    This invaluable YouTube video goes through the whole process .....

    As mentioned in the associated YouTube comments, "When you have Xcode installed, go to Xcode > Preferences > Downloads and be sure to install the command line tools"

  • Director 12 publish for iOS

    I'm using the trial version on a Windows machine but publish for iOS is disabled. Has it been disabled deliberately or do I need to be using Director on a Mac?
    Thanks.

    You need to use Director on a Mac for iOS publishing. You will also need an Adobe developer license and the appropriate provisioning profiles for your iOS app, as well as Xcode.

  • Director 12 (subscription) won't publish projector

    I just purchased Director 12, subscription model, this morning. I am frustrated to say the least that it won't publish a simple projector on my system. It uses two xtras, BudAPI, and ImgXtra, but even if I remove them from the project, D12 still won't publish. It almost finishes, but bails about 90% through. System here is Win 7, 8Gb, D12. I've already reinstalled, and still get the same problem. Any clues on how to get D12 to publish a projector--not for IOS, rather for Windows.
    TIA,
    John

    Hi, and thanks for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions and comments:
    Did it crash the computer, hang or close D12?
      No. No crash, no hang. D12 did not close. Behavior is like this: Choose Publish from menu; D12 begins to compile 15 files, then suddenly stops at 14 and the progress bar disappears. D12 still functioning fine.
    Did I make a test program and try to publish?
      Yes. Same result.
    Did I update an older Director to D12?
      Yes. I updated from D11 to D12. All seemed to go well.
    Did I remove ALL xtras then save it with a different name then try to pubilsh?
      Yes. That was the first move I tried. Same result.
    Am I using BuddyAPI 4.07?
      Yes. I don't think that's the problem. I'm also using Valentin's "imgXtra" and it works fine in author mode.
    So overnight, I thought of something new to try and it seems to work. I reduced the User Account Controls to the lowest possible setting, opened D12, made a test program, and it published a projector just fine. So then I tried my project and it too published a projector just fine. So clearly, the UAC and D12 do not get along. The UAC probably thinks the the projector is compiling an exe that represents a threat to the system. If so, I wonder why no other Win 7 64 bit users of D12 have not reported this problem? Surely, I cannot be the only Win user with my UAC set to highest possible setting. Or is there some other factor in combination with the UAC that is prohibiting a projector compile? I don't know. It's rather strange that QA at Adobe didn't catch this oddity. Having worked in QA, I can tell you that we did test software with the UAC at various settings. But somehow this behavior slipped by Adobe QA.
    The bottom line is, I now must reduce my UAC to lowest possible setting, open D12 project, compile a projector, and reset my UAC to highest possible setting. How bizzare. BTW, I have no virus protection software on my machine other than Microsoft's Essential Security. Maybe that, plus UAC, prevents D12 from compiling projectors. Who knows. What a strange turn of events. Adobe should test this issue and correct it. Imagine if we all had to have our car passengers wait outside the car while we started the engine. Only then could passengers get into the car. And once the car was moving, the passengers would have to disembark at every stop light so the car wouldn't die.
    Thanks for your response,

  • Publishing ios app - adding ios 7.0 icons

    Hi,
    İ am developing an ios app using adobe Flash CC and i downloaded air sdk 4.0 for ios. But ı could'nt find new icons size for ios 7.0 in air for ios setting panel. So icould'nt publish 76, 120 and 152 icons.
    How can i add these icons my ipa?

    If someone has any problem with this kind of error the solution is simple!
    You should use the source code of the hamcrest as3 project instead of swc in the build path.
    This problem happened because of the BindageTool as3 library.

  • Reduce publishing time for Air iOS apps?

    Hi,
    Currently it's taking my machine up to  4 minutes to publish an Air iOS app.
    Are there any settings or hacks I could try to reduce the time?
    I'm using Flash CS 6 + AIR SDK 16 on a Windows 8.1 laptop.
    Stats:
    - Intel Pentium Prozessor (1,5 GHz, Intel HD Graphics, Microsoft Windows 8, 64-bit)
    - 4 GB DDR3-RAM
    - 500 GB Hybrid-SSHD-Festplatte with 8 GB SSD
    Thanks for any tips.

    Hi,
    I'm really interested in this feature as well. Have spent a bit of time attempting to get one running through a native extension but it doesn't appear to work. I believe something in the AIR build process is blocking the components required. I've tried several methods so far:
    packaging the appex with an ANE
    packaging the appex with the AIR container app
    using a class instead of a storyboard
    But nothing seems to be working. This is even before the app extension is doing anything. My guess is that the plist file specifying the app extension isn't correctly being included in the application but I have no idea how to update it to test.

  • Can I develop an iOS app that can download multiple free iBooks that I publish and make them available within the iBooks app?

    Is it possible for a self-developed iOS app to download iBooks from our server and make the books available to the iBooks app?
    My organization is evaluating publishing some free training manuals / textbooks as iBooks made with Apple's "iBooks Author" software. We don't necessarily want to use the iTunes Store for distribution because of the semi-sensitive nature of the content. To distribute the books to users with iPads, we've thought of using MDM software, a webpage, or an iOS app. The reasoning behind an iOS app is that the app would be a "download manager", making it much easier for a user to download all 42 books all at once. A user would install our "free training manual download manager" iOS app and use it to authenticate to a our server app that would serve the books, the end result being the books available via the iBooks app.
    Thanks,
    Ted

    Hi Kappy,
    Actually Apple lets self-publishers distribute iBooks outside of the iTunes Store, as long as the iBooks are free (no cost to user).
    What I'm wondering is if it's possible for a custom iOS app to side-load iBooks so that they're available to a user within the iBooks app.
    If not, we'll either post the iBooks for download from our website or we'll use MDM software to push the iBooks to MDM-enrolled iPads.

  • Director 12 IOS app quits on iPod, but runs fine on iPad.  Any way to get it works on both?

    Director 12 IOS app quits on iPod after a second after loaded, but runs fine on iPad.  Any way to get it works on both?
    ipod - generation 3 - 2010 Spring (the last one before it got a camera)
    ipad - generation 3 - 2012 summer

    "what does it take to get final apps working on an iOS 7 iPad"
    Well most of the school made tutorials that i've seen over years, didn't really have too much code, so it may not take much at all to get it working - it might even work straight away.
    There's always some work required - but the pay off will be worth the effort.
    Problems to look out for :-
    can't use 3rd party xtras,
    can't use embedded fonts,
    can't have easy keyboard entry (you'll need to redesign everything for touch),
    scroll text fields need a bit of reworking,
    11khz sounds files need to be set higher,
    some 8 bit graphics bomb out,
    there are some lingo commands that just seem to bomb out the app (work around these with other lingo commands!)
    embedded Flash objects need a little bit of work to get them working right,
    videos need to be in swf format.
    If you're only running them on (in school) iPads - i'd say go with the side loading option.
    best not to bother with the app store - if you can.
    There are a few other enterprise options that might also suit.

  • Publish iOS app with Flash CS6?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to publish an iOS with the new icons sizes (120px..) with Flash CS6?
    Flash removes the new icon sizes from the app.xml every time I publish my app.
    Is it possible to prevent this?
    I tried to set the app.xml to read-only but then the app will not publish.
    Thanks

    I was getting this intermittently.   Not a super problem.   A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

  • Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

    Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

    Yes, that is the app.  It is used to monitor your internet activity, but because Apple won't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser or any other browsers the Covenant Eyes app has to be its own browser which causes some issues.  You can't click on a link and have it open because the iOS tries to open Safari by default when you do that.
    I'm just wondering if there is anywhere on Apple's website that discusses this type of thing, why they don't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser.  The Covenant Eyes program for Macs will monitor internet activity on the computer.

  • My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

    My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
    My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Hi!
    I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
    sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
    when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
    when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
    any other app can't play sound.
    is there any fix for that?
    Thanks
