Flash iOS App Languages on iTunes

After publishing my Flash iOS App to iTunes I see huge array of languages, even though my game is only in English. In my descriptor, I only provided an English name and description.
Languages: English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
Is there a way to remove these or add other languages that are not on this list?
I understand its not possible via iTunesConnect its something inside the binary file.

I am working on window 7 - if rename the binary file to ZIP and open it, removing the XX.lproj folders - would that do the trick?
I see the "_CodeSignature/CodeResources" file is also related to the XX.lproj folders
Should i just not tuch it and wait for the fix?
Thanks for your advice.

Remote control of Mac via Flash iOS app

Hi all
I am a very trial-and-error Flash coder but have managed to create a (I think) pretty serviceable VJ system - see http://www.smashedupsoiree.com/magic-wall/
There are two Flash movies that run concurrently on the same Mac. One is the video content itself which is displayed by a projector; the other is the Controller movie which runs on the mac laptop screen. The two movies communicate by LocalConnection. I have had some success using VNC apps on an ipad which grabs the screen from the Mac and therefore enables this Controller movie to be effectively operated as a touch screen, portable interface. However there are latency issues with VNC - not what you need for a live performance tool!
I am considering instead developing the controller as a packaged-for-ios app to reduce the latency issues. If I do so, does anyone know how it will be able to control the flash movie running on the mac on the same network? (In the vein of these kinds of apps: http://mashable.com/2010/02/28/iphone-remote-control-apps/ )? I have read that Local Connections do not work in Packaged-for-iOS apps. Would I instead use Apple APIs? How is this done via Flash Actionscript? I would want to either control the Mac-based movie like a LocalConnection or even simulating keypresses would be fine, that I can then detect with the Mac Flash movie.
As I mentioned before, I'm no professional coder so the whole matter is a bit blurry to me! Any pointers would be much appreciated...

How do I submit a Flash iOS App from Windows?

Hi,
How do I upload an iOS app to the appstore on Windows? I can't get a mac at this moment, so this would be very useful.
Thanks

there is a service that charges 20$ per upload. apple links to it somewhere in his appledeveloper pages.

How do i back up all the iOS apps contained in iTunes on my Mac?

Hi, I know we can burn purchased music to disc, but how do I burn all of my downloaded iOS iPhone/iPad apps for safe-keeping in case my Mac dies?

You can backup your iTunes library any number of ways. An external hard drive using Time Machine or any other backup software would be one way. You can also backup the library to DVD. Read both of these articles.

Of course you can always download the apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you purchased them with.

Flash iPad app featured on iTunes homepage

Howdy,
Our latest education app, Alphabytes, has just been featured on the iTunes (iPad section) homepage.
Direct link is here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alphabytes/id423710441?mt=8
I was more than happy to see that Apple isn't burying Flash content or anything along those lines. I was the only developer on the project; I know objective-c, but I know Flash better and knew I could put the App together fairly quickly building it strictly in Flash. Like any technology, there's pros and cons to whatever choice you end up making, development-wise. There are still bits about building it in Flash that frustrate me; (why doesn't landscape mode always display properly?!), but overall, I'm pretty happy with the results.
In any event, feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any questions/comments. I have a few more promo codes left as well; if people are interested, (and if I don't run out).

You're assuming that the app works smoothly.
Overall, it's pretty much the standard stuff you would think that helps out:
1) try to maintain a LOW framerate, (at one time we were running at 40 fps - lowered the app to 24, runs way better/animations are way smoother)
2) use cacheAsBitmapMatrix where appropriate
3) from my experience, vector graphics are a big no no on the ipad
4) no effects/text - try to use flattened graphics
5) try to keep the areas that are animating small, (full page transitions are going to give you issues)
I honestly haven't tested the app on the iPad2 - but I've heard that the animations all run way faster EXCEPT some masking we're doing, which ran fine on the iPad 1, but now runs way slower on the iPad 2. It makes no sense! Thanks Apple!

Flash iOS app to client's licence?

I have created an app in Flash CC/AIR and previewed it to the client using my own Apple Developers licence. How can I configure and supply the .ipa file so he can then distribute it to his sales team using his company's Enterprise licence?

Apple have two types of programs:
1) Enterprise - it's allows to distribute your app only directly (without uploading to AppStore). Just give IPA to the clients.
2) Developer - allows to distribute only via AppStore.
Booth allow use AdHoc for testing purpose only.
In case 2. - you must request provisioning profile and certifictes exactly for AppStore market distribution. Not development and etc. Than generate as usual your IPA with "AppStore market" compiling option.
For example here it's Final Release http://devgirl.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Screen-shot-2011-06-15-at-12.09.32-PM.png radiobutton.
After you recive final IPA you need (or your client must do this) upload IPA from MacOS using Application Loader to own Developer account for moderator review and wait.
In case 1 - do the same as in case 2 but don't use Application Loader. Just give IPA to your client.
P.S. Also target your iPA with new Adobe Air that was release day ago http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html so you will be sure it's will not have any ios7 issues.

Can a flash ios app be linked into a bigger xcode app?

We're working on an application that shows a 3d view of the world, but we also want a 2d map to be available to users. The 3d app is being designed and built by objective-c programmers working in xcode. Would it be possible to build the 2d map in flash, export it to ipa, and have that included into the xcode build? We can't really have two separate apps, cause a use would need to exit the 3d app to enter the 2d app. We'd like the 2d map to be a feature of the app.

Actually I've created the 2d map using svg graphics. Runs good in Safari on iphone. Unfortunately, it sucks when running inside an app, using Webkit. Apparently, Apple decided it was in their best interest to keep javascript extremely slow on apps using webkit. Thats what led management here to decide the map has to be made native to the iphone. Alot of developers are complaining about webkit being crippled, but Apple doesn't seem to be budging on this issue.

Creating an iOS App with File Sharing Activated

From what I can decipher, the only way for a user to retrieve a document created by an iOS app is through iTunes, but only if the app has file sharing activated.
Is there a way to create an iOS app in Flash CS5.5 and make it a file sharing app?

I used the following code for sharing files to documents directory, and it works just fine. I am able to access the files copied by the app.
I made this app using Flash Builder. I will share another one using Flash Pro, soon.

                    var dest:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("copy.swf");
                    file.copyTo(dest, true);

Can you please share the app/more details about the issue in the meanwhile?

How do I localize Flash CS5.5 iOS app to one language

What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?
I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
Thanks much, Jon

Well, I followed the iOS language list in iTunes thread in this forum and was able to get rid of them all. I have to say that not any single reply in the thread was exactly right. It took a combination of Saumitra Bhave's and spinlight's replies and mass of trial and error to get it all to work. Even the App loader utility came up as obsolete! I have uploaded the updated binary to Apple and am awaiting their approval. The biggest issue is the placement of and actual coding in the entitlements plist; spinlight had the right idea, but, at least in my case, was coded out a bit different. Also, it was not exactly apparent that you had to use the teminal untility to recodesign the app after tearing it apart. Thank the heavens I have a least a basic understanding of how things work on the Mac and was able to puzzle it out. If Apple approves the app and all things look good, I will follow up here with what I did. Of course, if Adobe would kill this bug with a giant can of bug spray, this crazy work around wouldn't be needed...
Thanks much, Jon

Need help with languages issue in iOS app created in Flash Pro CS5.5

Hello all,
I'm using Flash Pro CS5.5 on a Mac running Snow Leopard to create an iOS app by publishing with 'AIR for iOS' from inside Flash Pro. Everything works great except after I submit my app to the Apple App Store and it is approved, the App Store listing claims that the app is available in a ton of different languages including English, German, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, etc. Since this app is a word game and all the words are in English, this is a pretty significant issue.
If I view the binary details for the app in iTunes Connect, it shows that localizations are active for all of the different languages. This information is read from the .ipa file that is submitted.
If I unzip the .ipa file, I can see that folders have been created for all of the localizations (i.e. en.lproj, es.lproj, fr.lproj, etc.). If I delete any of those folders, the .ipa will give me a 'resources modified' error at install.
I have also tried setting the plist attribute 'CFBundleLocalizations' to 'English' by editing the 'app.xml'. I have verified that the attribute has been changed correctly but it does not solve the issue. All of the localizations are still active.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you try workaround given at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3976641 and post back your findings.

AIR iOS app fails uploading to Apple (iTunes Connect)

I've been trying to upload my iOS app to iTunes Connect via Application Loader but it fails every single time. I'm getting the following error(s);
'Unable to run the lipo command: ... Can't map input file ...' and 'Application failed codesign verification'
I believe the second error is due to the first, but I'm not sure. I've been looking around the web for solutions and only found this thread on here, I've tried everything said there but nothing helps.
Replacing my game with an empty FLA doesn't seem to work either.

I'm on the latter side, usually it's a codesigning issue. How did you develop your certs and did you follow the order specifically in my list in that post? Often people use old certs but create a new app ID and expect the old certs to work.
There's been other discussions about extra "files" that Flash Pro inserts into IPAs (.zips in disguise). Because Flash Pro publishes to a folder that's not built specifically for that build, people sometimes copy extra files into that path. Those files can "automatically" and accidentally be added to the IPA without the author desiring that. You should check what files are being packaged with your IPA to verify there's no extra junk.
Are you using flash CS5.5 or CS6 and what version of AIR are you overlayed to?

Need Help testing iOS app created in Flash Pro Cs5.5

I've followed several instructions on how to develop a simple iOS app. I've managed to go all the way through and Publish + create the .ipa. I'm able to then add the file to my iTunes library, but when I then try to add it to my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) I get the following error:
The app "XXXXXX" was not installed on the iPod "XXXXX's Ipod" because it is not compatible with this iPod.
I've even tried it with a simple "Hello World!" app but I get the same error.
I'm using Flash Pro Cs5.5 on a Windows PC.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem with my iphone 3G. I tried publishing the exact same simple flash app to my iphone, which I already previously tested succesfully, after having downloaded flash 5.5, and now I get the following message (which, I believe, is identical to yours kinant87) :
"The app "Main" was not installed on the iPhone "Norgaard" because it is not compatible with this iPhone."
I was trying to make another small app, when I got this problem, which is why I went back to re-test the app I knew was working!
I've reinstalled all my apple certificates, and also tried using flash builder 4.5, with the same result.
I also have not jail broken my phone, and was starting to think perhaps the iPhone 3G was no longer supported?

Flash CS 6 - Install iOS app on iPhone?

Hi,
I would like to test an Air built iOS app on my iPhone.
I'm using Flash CS6 and AIR SDK 16 on Windows 8.1. and I'm getting the error "Unable to enumerate devices" after publishing my app.
What does that mean and how to fix?
(I have the latest version of iTunes installed)

This really bodes well for my question. Which was very similar. If I find a solution I will post it here for you also.

IOS 5 update on iPhone 4 app language problem

After iOS 5 update on iPhone 4 the language in the App Store and iTunes on the phone are in what appears to be Portuguese. I have changed this setting in my Apple ID (why did it change to that in the first place?) I also have set the phone's language setting to English and the Region Format to United States. The keyboard is set to English and is the only one. What have I missed? How can I fix this?
Originally all of the apple progams were in Portuguese, the App Store and iTunes are the only ones left.

Had to restore the phone to fix, after making sure all the possible settings everywhere were United States and English, but it worked. Still find it amazing that an update would change so many settings in so many places, especially the ones that aren't on the phone.
