Fast packaging iOS in Flash

Is any way to set fast packaging method for iPhone Packager in Flash Professional CS6 like in Flash Builder 4.6??

A better question is, do you have Flash Builder 4.6? If so, why would you ever use Flash CS6? Stick to using it to create animations easy and export that SWC back to Flash Builder. FB > Flash CS6.

Building iOS mobile project succeed in Fast Packaging method not in Standard method

Hi All,
I am using FlashBuild 4.6 Standard edition to build iOS mobile project for iPAD. When I tried using Fast packaging method, I have no problem to create ipa file, and run it on devices, however, when I tried using Standard packaging method, I always run into the following exceptions:
"Launching iOS" has encountered a problem.
Error occurred while packaging the application:

Kind Regards,

My mobile app is supposed to load SWF assets from an external server.
Is there any chance at a work around? Could something like the ByteArray class be used to convert the SWFs to BitMap (given than static images would be acceptable)? In my case, I may only need to import external SWF that are static (not animated).
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/ByteArray.h tml
If ByteArray is implemented to immediately convert imported SWFs within the source FlashBuilder project, then when the app is packaged into native iOS, will it retain that functionality to convert the SWF to bitmap data?

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

Create a Multiplayer game for Android/iOS using flash?

Hi guys,
We're creating a flash - turn based game for iphone and android using flash builider (flex) and actionscript 3. We've built the game and have a working Ai and are now trying to figure out how we can provide multiplayer support on iOS and Android.
As far as Im aware there are the following options:
- Serversocket (although apparently this doesnt work with mobiles.
- p2p with native air plugin (although I understand that this requires a database as well as the build of a front end connect to players)
- apparently there is a new way with html - whereby two players can exchange data over a website without the need for a server.
- Third party package like appwarp?
This is driving me crazy as I understand the principle - i.e. send data from one mobile to a database - database fires message to opposing player - updates state of game on both mobile and on the server.
All we want is a turn based game that sends a simple string of code with the moves between two devices. Is there any way of doing this for mobile (Android and ios) using flash and actionscript 3, or flash builder - without using a database?
Can anyone recommend a straight forward way to do this?
If not - Im actually thinking of taking the finished game to a company and asking them to host the servers and port the game to android and ios for a cut of the royalties. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for you help on advance,
T.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for you kind response.
Do you know how to use air 3.8 to create multiplayer for iOS android? It's frustrating, it's a basic turn based game so all we really need is to send 1 line of code containing a move between two devices which then changes the graphics. I've done something like this before using a MySQL server.
I have a MySQL service on my hosting package for my domain, not sure whether I could use this?
As far as I'm aware theres now an option in HTML 5 to do thus kind of thing without a server and swap data directly through a web address.
Do you know roughly how much a small server costs to run?
We're basically trying to get this on ios, android and desktop mac and pc. We also want to launch it through steam nd allow people to play each other via the steam network. Do you know or know anyone that knows about this kind of stuff?
Thanks again, for your email. Where are you based?
Tom.

Packaging iOS app on Linux

I am developing Android and iOS app with AIR (3.7, without ASC 2.0) and Flex SDK (4.6) and I've run into an issue - I am able to package Android app on Linux (it's a server), but I am unable to do that for iOS. I am aware that AIR SDK is no more supported for Linux, but I thought that when its working for Android, it should work for iOS too... :-) Well, I suppose it doesn't.
I am pretty sure that my adt command is right (because I am able to package iOS app on my developing workspace - Win7).
Just to have it complete, error looks like this:

Currently I see only 2 options to make it happen on server side - to use some virtual windows machine (or wine?) or to setup windows server only for iOS packaging.
What do YOU think? Which way is better/worse? Is there some other way?
Thank you!
Peter

They must be purchased separately. Reason being is the apps you use on your Mac are for the Mac OS X, the apps you use on your iPhone are optimized for iOS. Two different operating systems.
You purchase apps for your Mac from the Mac App Store, apps for your iPhone, from the iTunes Store.

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.

Battery keeps on draining fast in iOS 6.1..

battery keeps on draining fast in iOS 6.1.. when my phone was set up as a new phone, battery works fine but after installing some apps and restoring syncing with gmail for my contacts, battery starts draining fast..please help
I dont know what to do now. I have lots of contacts, and the only way to get them is through gmail...please help

The issue is probably specific to your iPhone:
Something may have gone amiss in the upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 on your iPhone.
To correct this follow these steps:
Backup your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud.
Use iTunes to completely restore your iPhone as new.
Setup your iPhone and monitor battery usage to see if it is normal. If not, you may have a hardware problem - if so, contact Apple support.
Restore your iPhone from your backup above.
Check battery usage to confirm that it remains normal.

Which versions of ios is flash 5.5 exporting to?

Hi,
I'm using Flash 5.5 with Air 2.7.
Does anyone know what the ipa file is compatible with? all iOS devices or just iOS 4?
Thanks,
Matt

from the Apple docs
==============
UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities (Array or Dictionary - iOS) lets iTunes and the App Store know which device-related features an application requires in order to run. iTunes and the mobile App Store use this list to prevent customers from installing applications on a device that does not support the listed capabilities.
If you use an array, the presence of a given key indicates the corresponding feature is required. If you use a dictionary, you must specify a Boolean value for each key. If the value of this key is true, the feature is required. If the value of the key is false, the feature must not be present on the device. In both cases, omitting a key indicates that the feature is not required but that the application is able to run if the feature is present.
Table 4 lists the keys that you can include in the array or dictionary associated with the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key. You should include keys only for the features that your application absolutely requires. If your application can accommodate missing features by avoiding the code paths that use those features, do not include the corresponding key.
=============================================
Howevere -
iOS applications built with the "Packager for iPhone" cannot be updated with AIR 2.6
Because AIR 2.6 does not support iOS 3 and armv6 devices, existing AIR for iOS applications cannot be updated to AIR 2.6. You can continue to support such applications using the Packager for iPhone available in Flash Professional CS5 and on Adobe Labs.
See Apple Technical Q&A QA1623

Java VM error during iOS publish, Flash Pro CS5.5

When I try to build a "Hello World" iOS app for the iPhone using Flash Pro CS5.5 I get the following error:
Error creating files.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Has any one else encountered an error like this and successfully fixed it? I've been trying to solve this for a long time, have reinstalled Flash CS5.5 and Java, but so far I'm still getting the same error. I've also tested building the app on another person's machine and there everything works fine. My OS is Windows 7.

I found a way to get things to compile by using adt from the command line, based on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867644?start=0&tstart=0
I didn't have to use any larger memory settings. Just like the example in the link, I'm using a .bat file to make the command easier to setup:
@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
%java_cmd% %java_param% %adt_cmd% -package -target %target% -storetype pkcs12 -keystore %cert% -storepass %cert_pass% -provisioning-profile %provisioning% %build_file% %desc_files% %files%
pause
It takes awhile to compile (10 min) and uses a lot of memory (on average 300mb), but nonetheless is functional.
For others who might have this error, note that it was suggested to modify the settings in <InstallLocation>/Common/First Run/ActionScript 3.0/jvm.ini
Changing those settings didn't help me. My specific problem didn't involve a large .fla file since I was getting this error even for a simple 'helloworld' test app. Thanks though for everyone who made suggestions!

Problem publishing Air for iOS using Flash

Hey there, I am having a little issue. I am getting a error that reads "The digital certificate is invalid. Counld not retreive certificate chain from keystore usesage"
I think the issue may be that I am trying to develop my app on my PC and publish is and then put the app on my Mac. My assumption is that my iOS developer ID and iPad are registered with my Mac but my CS5 software is on my PC so I have been trying to publish the app on from the PC and then port it to my Mac and get it on the iPad through iTunes. So I wonder if I need to be publishing the app on the Mac where the device and iTunes are. I have the certificate transferred to the PC and use it for my app publish but I get that error on publish.
Any insight is appreciated a lot. Thanks very very much in advance...

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.

Linker error while packaging iOS app with my ANE

While trying to write a iOS Native Extension for ZXingObjC (https://github.com/TheLevelUp/ZXingObjC), the following link error shows up when exporting in Flash Builder 4.x:
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"___divmodsi4", referenced from:
      +[ZXEncoder numDataBytesAndNumECBytesForBlockID:numDataBytes:numRSBlocks:blockID:numDataBytesInBlock: numECBytesInBlock:error:] in libcom.google.zxing.ZXingNativeExtension.a(ZXEncoder.o)

This happens in Flash Builder 4.6 or 4.7 using AIR SDK 3.7
This isn't my first Native Extension for iOS. No amount of fiddling around with adding frameworks or libraries in Xcode to the static library works.
Looking for guidance on what to try next to resolve this linker error...

I am also receiving an error related to ___divmodsi4 (using different libraries which use that symbol) which appears to be a compiler level math function. It should be packaged automatically but apparently AIR isn't doing it. No idea what additional library should be linked, attempts to link the 3rd party libraries (and/or packagedDepenency them) failed.

IPad Packager - iOS Deployment Target problem

Hello,
I've been working on an iPad app (using CS5), got everything in place, i.e. apple dev account, all my details cleared to sell apps, got my development app working great on my iPad.
BUT...
When I'm trying to upload the finished version using Application Loader I get the following message:
This bundle is invalid. When supporting iPad only, the iOS Deployment Target must be 3.2.
There is no way to set the deployment target in the flash CS5 settings, I've looked on various forums but can't find any answers to this. Can't believe I've got to this last step and I'm hit with this. Are adobe bringing any fixes out for this?
Any Ideas please???
cheers

Awesome -- I wish I could mark as "Answered" for this post -- Kevkong1971 I really really really appreciate being shown that post. Of course you can search and search but if you don't find the right one..... Well thanks..
I thought I would distill the answer and post again for those who need it. Here is the proceedure I followed (gleaned entirely from the work of others) And yes, it does work. I have both of my "iPad" only apps now up for Apple's review.
Here you go:
this is a copy and paste of something I popped up on my personal weblog---------
The following post addresses the “you must target a minimum of IOS 3.2” when you try to publish an app you’ve written with Adobe Tools and targeted “iPad Only”.
So thanks to the guys on the Adobe Forums, there are a lot of posts so I hope to distill it down for anyone who needs and also for myself (for future apps!)
Step 1: Copy your .IPA file to a MAC
Step 2: Rename file to .zip
Step 3: Extract contents of .zip
Step 4: Pull out the “yourApplication.app” file from the “Payload” folder you extracted
Step 5: Right click on .app file and select “show package contents”
Step 6: Edit the info.plist file
Step 7: Change the “MinimumOSVersion” entry to 3.2
Step 8: Close and Save
Step 9: Download THIS .PY Python script you will need to make your .xcent file authentic
Step10: write your .xcent file using pico or your favorite pure-text editor. Just create this file from scratch and name it yourApplication.xcent As Follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>application-identifier</key>
    <string>10DIGITCODE.YOUR.DOMAINAND.APPLICATIONNAMEHERE</string>
    <key>get-task-allow</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
step 11: assuming the .py file you just downloaded and .xcent file you just created above are in the same directory execute the following in the terminal:
python gen_entitlements.py 10DIGITCODE.COM.YOURDOMAINAND.APPNAMEHERE yourAppName.xcent
OK So far so good. Now you have a valid .xcent file, and you have fixed your .plist. Now you have to put them together and resign with your credentials. To do this execute the following in your terminal:
/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: YOUR NAME" "--resource-rules=/Users/yourusername/Desktop/yourAppName.app/ResourceRules.plist" --entitlements "/Users/yourusername/Desktop/yourAppName.xcent" "/Users/yourusername/Desktop/yourAppName.app"
Note: The “iPhone Distribution: YOUR NAME” needs to match your distribution certificate in your keychain. Open KeyChain and make sure you type it exactly as it is in there.
step 12: Right click the .app file and select “compress”
step 13: upload your app!!!
Hope that helps someone!!
Cheers,
Tommy
