Flash CC - Publish iOS/Android AIR App stuck at 5 seconds

I have a few Flash made apps, I've published them to my devices before, but now I can't. Flash get's stuck at 5 seconds. Flash freezes, I can't cancel.
Any suggestions?

I would recommend to use "Captive".
Difference is pretty simple...
Shared Basically means that it compiles the "apk" without the Adobe AIR runtime, resulting in a smaller file size apk but REQUIRES users to have the "Adobe AIR App" installed.
Captive means that it compiles the "apk" with the Adobe AIR runtime, resulting in a larger file size apk but DOES NOT REQUIRE users to have the "Adobe AIR App" installed.
If you want to Guarantee everyone can run your app, use captive. If you want to rely on users to hope the have the correct version of AIR installed to view your app, use Shared.

The three main hurdles to porting existing Flash projects to iOS with AIR

The purpose of this discussion is to identify significant problems currently preventing AIR for iOS from being a viable solution for porting existing Flash apps. These issues have been largely ignored by Adobe, so I hope that everyone will add to this discussion if you have also run into these roadblocks in targeting iOS with the AIR SDK. I hope that Adobe staff will address and provide some much needed information with regard to fixing these problems.
There are 3 main problems with targeting iOS currently, which are probably affecting anyone who is trying to port a project that is both medium to large in size and makes use of SWF loading. Pretty much any project that has a MVC architecture is going to load SWF assets that are compiled against a view class, so this is likely affecting many people.
1. Bug - ADT packager runs out of memory when packaging "large" numbers of SWF assets
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3511656
This is a blocking bug that prevents packaging projects with a large number of SWF assets. It is preventing me from being able to package all the needed assets for my project. I provided Adobe with my project to package a couple months ago so this bug can be reproduced in house and fixed. The Adobe employee who was handling this never tried to reproduce the issue and has stopped responding to email and comments in the bug. Adobe, please have someone take charge of testing and fixing this bug. It seems like it would be a straightforward fix once the failure is reproduced within a debugger.
Has anyone who has encountered this problem determined the number of files or classes where it starts to fail. I've spent some time trying to reverse engineer what the packager is doing when it runs out of memory, so think I can determine how many classes it's working with, but obviously the size of the classes will be variable and so this number will probably be more of a range where we start to get into the failure state.
Please let me know if you can reproduce this issue with your project with many SWF assets and upvote the bug if you are already aware of this one.
2. Bug - SWF reloading when doing a "real" (AOT) compile
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3636385
There is already a forum post that covers the history of this issue (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4920638) but that also covers some issues in older AIR builds with loading of any SWF asset (previously fixed), where this bug deals specifically with reloading of SWF assets that include compiled bytecode (ABC).
The expectation here is that all versions of the Flash runtime should handle SWF reloading with ABC in the same way, so that a single codebase can be used to target web and iOS (or any other platform). This is the only issue of the 3 that has a legitimate work around, in my opinion, because the assets can be cached within the app within a loading manager layer. All the application code that makes loading calls can stay the same, and a compiler flag can be used to enable this caching for iOS builds, with subsequent requests returning a new instance of the cached asset. This can potentially lead to a very bloated memory footprint for the running app after a period of time, though, which could make some apps perform poorly, so a bugfix is ultimately needed.
3. Unimplemented feature (?) - The constraint that a single ApplicationDomain is used when running AIR for iOS
I did ask about this in the same forum post as SWF reloading but didn't get an Adobe response. Why does this constraint exist? My guess is that the AIR runtime for iOS simply hasn't implemented multiple ApplicationDomain support at this point, and that this was done to focus resources on other high priority features for the iOS runtime. It's possible that there is some aspect of the iOS operating system that makes it difficult or impossible to implement this feature, which may be why it's been avoided to this point, but obviously this is all conjecture without hearing from Adobe on it.
This is a major issue that needs to be addressed. For us, the problem is that our SWFs for multiple instances of the same type of asset use the same name for the AS export. For example, each item an avatar can equip is a single SWF with multiple sub assets -- the parts which comprise the item. Each of the parts will have an AS export name based on the avatar facing and where it is equipped, like "fv_head". This naming is consistent across all items, so we will load a lot of assets containing "fv_head" simultaneously. This normally works fine because the default behavior for Flash has always been that each SWF is loaded into a new ApplicationDomain instance, but for iOS a single ApplicationDomain must be used, causing these names to collide. The last SWF loaded containing a given AS export name overwrites the previous ones of that name.
The work around for this, and I use that term loosely, is to go through and uniquely name every AS export in every asset where sets of assets with the same export name is used. For us that is hundreds of items with multiple exports. Maintaining unique naming across all these parts is also a very error prone process, not to mention all the code that manipulates the parts needs to be modified to handle the new naming and make sure it's referring to the now uniquely named assets.
The expectation here is that all versions of the Flash runtime should handle asset loading in the same way and place each loaded asset into its own ApplicationDomain container as the default behavior. I'd like an Adobe employee to address my assumption that this is an unimplemented feature of AIR for iOS at this point, and let the community know if a solution for this will be implemented.
Summary
All three of these issues in combination are a major roadblock to porting existing Flash games to iOS with AIR. Issues with one can make it hard to test and try to work around others. All need to be fixed, but If I could only pick one of these to fix, it would have to be issue 3 -- that lack of proper ApplicationDomain support when loading assets. This issue is completely inconsistent with standard Flash behavior and creates a major roadblock to ports of existing applications with no viable solution for a workaround.
I look forward to Adobe's feedback on each of these issues and hopefully fixes that will allow those of us working with AIR for iOS to get our products to market.

About the 3rd issue being an AoT design limitation, I'm not sure I understand why it's necessary to know during AoT packaging what the domain is that a child will be loaded into to be able to have SWF loading work as on the browser.
Isn't the ApplicationDomain an internal construct in the AIR runtime that you guys define in order to manage namespaces of loaded SWFs? To be clear, when I say "runtime" I know that the resulting code isn't being interpreted within the iOS app, but clearly you have a set of AIR libraries that get compiled into the IPA that provides support for all the Flash APIs. If that's the case, then wouldn't it be possible for the iOS version of the AIR libraries to define a new ApplicationDomain on the fly when code that has been cross-compiled to iOS native code loads a packaged SWF?
I don't have a clear picture of how ApplicationDomains are managed internal to the runtime of course, but a little more detail would be very helpful. Thanks.

Needed. Android Air app to watch live FMS video stream.

3D Android Air Apps

Hi everyone I am currently part of a group of students which is creating an Android Air Application.
We have been doing pretty well so far (we are creating a game which is a periscope simulator) but getting 3d models in the app has been a bit troubling.
We have been using 3dsMax for the models and using Swift3D in order to convert the file to swf. We then rendered the ship and exported to .swf and then added it to the project in flashbuilder and then used SWFLoader to add it to the app. When we use the emulator the ship which we rendered appears perfectly but when we create the apk and put it on our phone (HTC EVO 4G) the only thing that appears is an old school image not able to be shown image.
First off we have been doing lots of research on what we could do with the 3d models and everyone has told us that we have to convert them to an .swf in order get in the 3d model because their is no other way to get it in. Is this true or do we really have to use swift3d? Others have suggested that we use some of flashes game engines but would any of these even be compatible with adobe air?
All we really need to do is import the 3d model then be able to randomly generate its location on the screen as well as its viewing angle. Our application is never actually moving its just providing a still image which is randomly chosen from the 360 degree view of the ship.
If anyone has any advice we would really appreciate it. At this point we are not really sure what we should do.

I've not tried any Swift3D but have run some Papervision3D stuff in AIR on Android. Seems fairly happy but I'm only pushing around simple planes (card game) so the load isn't particularly heavy - more complex models might start to grind it. Seems to benefit well from GPU acceleration so keep that in mind. From your description though it sounds as though you're not going to be rendering high fps, which is the real killer, so this may be perfect for your app.
On PV3D against Alternativa, (broad statement warning) I think it's generally agreed that PV3D is fast, Alternativa is more precise. PV3D being optimised for speed may be key on Android devices - depends what you're trying to do, but with PV3D you will probably sacrifice some more accurate z-sorting that Alternativa can provide. Personally I'd test both to see pros and cons - it's going to be on a case by case basis.
If you've got a more recent version of Swift3D, I believe you can export to a PV3D scene quickly and easily with no knowledge of that engine. Think it's one of the publish options (v6+ ?). So presumably you can run a PV3D test on your app with little effort and you can take it from there. If it's all z-fighting issues on your models, give it a go with Alternativa.

Can I update my Android AIR app with a non-AIR app?

A few years ago I published an Android app using Adobe AIR. Now I've created a new version of the app with a different technology (HaxeFlixel / OpenFL) which uses native C++ code.
The certificate I used for the AIR version is in "p12" format, and it seems that I need to use "jks" format. I tried using a p12 to jks converter I found online, which seemed to work, but when I try to submit the app I get an error saying that the certificates don't match.
Any suggestions on how I can update the app with a non-AIR app? Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

I'm still having trouble with this, I asked in the OpenFL forums but nobody responded.
I converted the p12 file to JKS from the site you suggested (I think I've actually tried it before), and the file was created successfully, the apk compiled fine with the JKS file, but when I try to update the app for Google Play it says "Upload failed
You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APKs. You must use the same certificate. Your existing APKs are signed with the certificate(s) with fingerprint(s):"
When I try to sign with the original p12 file, I get the error "Invalid keystore format"
I noticed that for the AIR app, I also had a file called SelfSigned.pfx, which I think was used to create the p12 certificate? Can this have something to do with the problem? I even tried using this pfx file to sign the app, which didn't work either.

Displaying PDF content in Android Air app - how?

Hi, I'm fairly new to developing Air apps for mobile devices. I'm looking to have my app display PDF files and can't find a dfinitive way of doing it. I've read that using the StageWebView would be the way to do it.
Here's the relevant part of my code (PDF path changed):
if (StageWebView.isSupported)
currentState = "normal";
webView.stage = stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(20, 100, 450, 450);
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onURLChange);
webView.loadURL("http://path.to.my.pdf");
addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
else {
currentState = "unsupported";
lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
Its working up until the point of actually displaying the PDF content, I get nothing (blank screen).
I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 / Air 2.6 and debugging on a Motorola Xoom tablet. Adobe Reader is installed on the device.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Solved.
For some reason I couldn't access the HTMLLoader object outside of the function that initialised it, despite the fact that I was listening for EVENT_COMPLETE.
Basically, to get round this bug, just put all the initialise and load code in the same function and you should be laughing.

Flash CS4 10.0.2 AIR apps crashing on Mac OS 10.6.2

Upgraded CS4 to 10.0.2 and installed the Air2 SDK per Adobe: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/AIR_2:Release_Notes
Now when I try to compile an Application with AIR the whole IDE crashes. Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
Thank You

UniQRO,
AIR 2 is not supposed to show in the player dropdown in the publish settings. The steps that you followed to install the AIR SDK in CS4 is overlaying AIR 1.5 SDK files with AIR 2 SDK files. The player target is still showing AIR 1.5, but you actually use AIR 2 SDK to publish the .air file if you overlaying the files correctly. If you want to use the AIR 2 features (API), you need to change the namespace in the application descriptor file (swfname-app.xml) from 1.5 to 2.0.
Does it crash when you compile a brand new fla file that target Adobe AIR 1.5 with a trace statement like trace('a');? Please give that a try and let me know.
If it still crashed with the simple fla file, it might be due to a problem overlaying the files. If that the case, you might need to uninstall Flash, reinstall Flash, run the 10.0.2 updater, and overlay the files again. If it happens to a particular fla file, we will need to follow up with you further.
Thanks,
San

How to use GooglePlayServices libs in Native Extension of Android AIR app?

I am trying to use some features of Google Play Services lib but I could not make it work. I have added the reference to the google play service libs to the manifest file (from Flash Builder)
<application android:enabled="true">
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
                android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<activity android:excludeFromRecents="false">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
In my ANE, I have added the reference to the source of google-play-services_lib, but when I tried to call the FREFunction to check the availability of Google Play Service
@Override
public FREObject call(FREContext context, FREObject[] args){
     boolean result = false;
     try{
      Activity activitiy = context.getActivity();
      activityContext = activitiy.getBaseContext();
          result = isGooglePlayServiceExists();
     }catch(IllegalStateException e){
      Log.e(AneUtils.TAG, "Failed to get AIR current activity", e);
     FREObject obj = null;
    try{
        obj = FREObject.newObject(result);
    }catch(FREWrongThreadException e){
        Log.e(AneUtils.TAG, "Failed to create FREObject from [" + result + "]");
    return obj;
private boolean isGooglePlayServiceExists(Context activityContext){
    int googlePlayServicesCheck = -1;
    try{
        googlePlayServicesCheck = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(activityContext);
    }catch(Exception e){
        Log.e(AneUtils.TAG, "Error getting googlePlayService state",e);
    if(googlePlayServicesCheck == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
         return true;
    return false;
The ANE crashed at the line GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(activityContext) so I really doubted the Google Play Service libs was not added.
Has anyone successfully imported the Google Play Serivce libs into Adobe AIR Android app?
Any advice or help will be appreciated. Thank you.

hey sshk5,
I have managed to make it work. The solution is quite simple, i will explain the steps below
1. Download the latest Android SDK from ADT (including the latest version of GooglePlay lib)
2. Check the version number of Google Play lib ( for example 412312....) something and in your FlashBuilder project, make sure you use the exact number like
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="412312" />
3. Use tool to merge the googlelib jar file with your native extension before importing the native extension to FlashBuilder. If you do not want to use any other tool, you can use the AIR 4.0 which will allow you to use commandline to merge jars (and even dependency resources)
Hope it helps

Android AIR app stops unexpectedly during debugging/running on device

FlashBuilder 4.5.1, AIR 2.6, device: HTC Wildfire S. The problem occurs everytime I try run a mobile app- just the Android error view. Please help

Hi,
go first here and do check-list:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS144092a96ffef7cc16ddeea2126bb46b82f-8000.html
it lists supported/non-supported/check-at-runtime features - as you could use a feature that is not supported at your device (application could work in Air/Flash Builder device emulator though)
What is happening in your application when it starts? Does it load video/audio or does request to local or remote content?

Android Air App using AdMob "NULL Object" Error?!?

Android AIR App Random Error #2032: Stream Error (HTTPStatusEvent = 0)

Hello
I am investigating an issue with failed requests and it's been difficult to narrow it down. When I put the URL into a browser I get a valid / expected response. However when I try to access the same URL using Actionscript 3 on my Android Devices (Nexus S and Xoom), I get stream error #2032 at random.
I am using URLRequest with a custom RequestListener class:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
if(action == "zip") loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
var listener:RequestListener = new RequestListener(action, loader, endFunction, extra);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, listener.requestSuccessful);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, listener.requestFailed);
loader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, onHTTPStatusChange);
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(Global.apiURL);
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = new URLVariables(paramString);
loader.load(req);
return loader;
Note that it works on one of my routers but not the access point:
onHTTPStatusChange: 0
requestFailed: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: { ... }" errorID=2032]
Since it works on one router but not the other, I can't say that it's an issue with the app, phone, or our request URL.
Note that I am using SSL / https.
Is it a timeout issue?? This is really frustrating.
Thanks.

Developing ios/android game using flash and action script

I'm completely new to this, I have done a bit of research about using flash to create ios/android apps, but one thing really confuses me is,
should I create my game in flash lite or in air? I know swf format will not be supported, so i will leave that one out...
If using air format you need to install the air application in your iphone or andriod devices before the game can be played?
Is it possible not to use air for apps development using flash?
Since it is somehow non-user friendly as users were prompt to download and extra application before any game can be played...
thanks for the help in advance...

You want to use AIR not FlashLite - for iOS the end user doesn't need to install the AIR runtime, on Android they will however. But it's painless...
You don't need AIR for apps in Flash, but you do need to publish using AIR if going to iOS or Android.
Be sure to get AIR 2.7 and copy it over 2.6 - CS 5.5 installs with 2.6 which runs much slower on iOS, than does 2.7

AIR app on Android for live chat crashes

No matter which streaming server I use, I regularly have a crash. My scenario is:
One side is on browser on PC, the other side is on android air app. Application is receiving a live stream and publishing a live stream at the same time, using two different Netstreams. Half of the time the application crashes. Crashes are rearly occuring during chat, but most of the time after a chat session is ended, and some time after netstreams are closed. There is no exceptions.
If I run the same AIR application on Windows Desktop, no problem occurs.
My application also records video and views recorded video. No problem occurs there. So, play("recorded.flv") and publish("someFLV", "record") has no problems.
When it comes to live streaming, problem occurs.
I use netstream.buffer = 0 for publishing live content, and netstream.buffer with its default value for playing live content.
When chat ends, I detach camera and microphone from netstream, remove eventlisteners from netstream, remove camera from Video object, set microphone and camera to null.
I tried closing and not closing netstreams, but nothing changed.
I tried sound only and video only streams on both sides, but nothing changed.
I compiled with AIR on Android 2.6 and 3.0, but nothing changed.
I tried compiling with Flash Builder Burrito and Flash Builder 4.5, but nothing changed.
I investigated Android adb logcats, but nothing useful is traced.
Application just crashes without any message or warning.
Is there a bug for playing and receiving live content at the same time on AIR on Android?

For those who are interested in this crash, I'll give a few more experiments and hope for an answer.
I investigated a few adb logcat deeper and noticed something about AIR runtime:
1. The crash does not happen all time, but randomly. Followings will explain the reason.
2. If I try sound-only streams, and if app crashes after disposing resources, logcat has messages related to Android microphone. After painful research, I found that logs mean: "someone requested microphone data, but it didn't consume microphone data fast enough."
3. If I try video-only streams, and if app crashes after disposing resources, logcat has messages related to Android camera. After painful research, I found that logs mean: "someone requested camera data, but it didn't consume microphone data fast enough."
So, maybe, only maybe, because AIR doesn not support multi-threading, when we dispose a microphone or a netstream, AIR stops receiving microphone data immediately, but until our calling function ends its execution, AIR does not notify Android OS about dispose. So, in Android's point of view, it sends microphone data but nobody consumes that data, thus nobody empties Android's buffer. Hence Android OS thinks that something is wrong and kills AIR application. That may explain why we get crash randomly: If Android's microphone, or camera, buffer is nearly empty when we dispose, buffer is not get filled until we fully dispose resources and everything is fine. But if the buffer is nearly full when we call dispose, buffer gets filled to its maximum until we finish our disposing and Android OS suspects about buffer and AIR app is killed with a signal 11, a segmentation fault.
This is only a theory, and I found one evidence that supports the theory: Android developers are suggested not to use camera and microphone resources directly. Instead, they are advised to create another thread to consume camera and microphone and use that thread for their needs. That is impossible in AIR as AIR don't have multi-threading.
Well, is there anybody now who has an idea?

How to use expansion files for AIR app (flash cs6) on Google Play Store

I am currently working on an app that will undoubtedly end up bigger than the maximum size of 50 MB for the APK, and I have no clue how to add files to an expansion pack, how to load expansion pack, what files need to be in expansion pack, or even what an expansion pack does/how it works. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great, I want to make an expansion pack now before I get even more files.

Haven't had a need to do this for file size purposes but since we can now download and use SWFs with ABC, I just specify my external SWFs when I compile and once my app is run it downloads the SWFs (with a pretty preloader) before the user can do anything. I have my own servers so I believe that's all that Amazon Bucket is actually used for. That user didn't have their own web servers to serve up the SWF content from.
Aside that, check the answer here. Google will turn any extra files uploaded for your app into OBB for you. You just upload the SWF:

It also outlines if you need to upload multiple files then .zip them up and use an AS3 .zip library to extract the files.
