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:

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!

    Can I transfer iPad apps from one iTunes account to another?

    No. Apps are associated with Apple ID with which they were purchased.

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

  • 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.

  • How do I pay for ipad app purchase with iTunes card

    I Am using an ipad.  I went to the App Store and downloaded a free game.  However it has other features you can pay for. I want those.  How do I pay for it with an iTunes card? Only option it gives me is credit card

    You need to add your iTunes gift card as your method of payment for your Apple ID. Once you do that the amount for things you purchase will be deducted from the gift card.

  • How to upload files in ipad apps using new iTunes?

    After iTunes 11.0.0.163, the interface has changed so much that it is difficult to do even regular operations with windows pcs. How do we transfer files from pc to ipad using iTunes? Any help pl?

    Sorry to come back, though I could now see the side bar and app menu, it only gives the option to remove the app through a button against each app. In earlier version if I double click a particular app, it will open up a dialogue box asking for add files and one could drag drop files from pc to iTunes.
    This is not happening now. So the problem still remains unresolved.
    Any help pl!

  • Need help with iPad app syncing in iTunes

    When I first connect iPad to iTunes, and select apps, all the apps on iPad display, but they are semi-transparent.
    When I uncheck sync, then only the apps that were installed originally show up, and are 'solid'.
    When I try to sync apps on my iPad, it shows these 'solid' icons only (less apps in iTunes than I have on the iPad) and warns I will lose apps not shown if I sync?!   That sounds more like a revert than a sync.  I do not want to revert, I want iTunes to update itself to show the list of apps I have purchased on the iPad.
    Anyone know how to get iTunes to show the apps I have on the iPad and let me sync them all to iTunes without losing what I purchased on the App Store through iPad?

    How could we help you?
    You did not even mention the name of the app.
    Contact the app maker and ask.

  • HT1689 My wife has iTunes account on her iPad and I have iTunes account on my iPad can we share purchased apps?

    So I purchased an app on my iPad but sometimes I use her iPad can I add her to my account or vice versa so that we can have the purchased apps and music on both iPads?

    You can't add the app to her account, that copy is tied to yours. Do you sync to the same computer's iTunes ? If you do, and that app is on it (if it isn't then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy it over), then you should be able to sync that app to her iPad. If you use different computers then you could copy it over and add it to her computer's iTunes library (Store > Authorise This Computer for your account and File > Add To Library to add it) and then sync it (you can find where an app is stored on your computer by right-clicking it in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library and selecting 'show in explorer' on the pop-up, and you can then copy it to, for example, a flash-drive to copy over to her computer).
    If you log into your account on her iPad (or computer's iTunes) and re-download that app then you risk tying her iPad (or computer) to your account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • On my ipad I updated my itunes software. All my existing apps were wiped out. How do I revive them?

    On my ipad I updated my itunes software. All my existing apps were wiped out. How do I revive them?
    I do not know the operating system name, but it was the operation system that came with my ipad.  This ipad was the first ipad system that was sols by apple.

    You seem like a person who knows their stuff. I seek some advice in regards to in app purchase issuse after changing apple id and details.  I played on my partners iPad he got me my own but my games were purchased via his apple I'd.  His work email I'd so we temporarily changed his appple I'd to what I use and account card/billing details, password etc to what suited me. Then backed up connected the new iPad and did a restore. One of my games dont have a in game save/load feature to move game hence the backup and restore so I don't loose progress. Only problem is i tried to do a in app purchase to see if then game file moved correctly and it seems to never connect to server unless I sign out of store and in again then prompt to purchase comes up. After that password yet no product it don't download. Could it be that it is because he has re created his old I'd that i changedup again as new? As before he did that when I tried to purchase I was promptly asked for confirmation but he never let me complete the purchase kept saying its worked. Or is it something else?
