FlexNativeMenu issues under AIR SDK 3.9

Hello,
I'm trying to recreate a custom XML-based FlexNativeMenu (an Adobe.com example) by using the latest air sdk 3.9 (flex sdk 4.6.0 + air sdk 3.9)... The mxml code I'm trying to run is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Interestingly, when tried to debug the same mxml code above by using air sdk 3.1 (flex 4.6.0 +air sdk 3.1), everything is displaying normal...
I really don't understand where is the problem? Is it something new/changed in air sdk 3.9 comparing to 3.1 (regarding the same menu component) or is it a bug?
I would really appreciate any help in solving this issue...

DragManager issues under AIR

The following help documentation for Flex 4 does not appear to be valid when running under AIR (Flex 4.1). Changes to these entries in the style sheet appear to have no effect. Is this a known issue, and/or is there a workaround? I want all of the drag cursors to be mapped to the standard arrow cursor, and want to handle all other feedback via the drag proxy and the drop indicators.
Another (seemingly well known) issue in AIR is that the imageAlpha parameter of DragManager.doDrag() is simply ignored. Previous queries suggest that it was hardcoded to alpha 1.0 (fully opaque), whereas now it seems to be hardcoded to 50 percent. I actually want the previous behavior of fully opaque. Is there a workaround for this issue as well? Most (all?) of the posts on this issue appear to have gone unanswered.
Thanks for any assistance!
From the docs:
Example: Setting the cursor styles of the DragManager
The DragManager uses styles to control the display of the different cursors used during the drag and drop operation, such as the move and copy cursors. The cursors are defined as symbols in the Assets.swf file in the flexInstallDir\frameworks\projects\framework\assets directory.
By default, Flex defines the cursor styles as if you had used the following type selector in your application:
<fx:Style>
    @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
    mx|DragManager
        copyCursor: Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="mx.skins.cursor.DragCopy");
        defaultDragImageSkin: ClassReference("mx.skins.halo.DefaultDragImage");
        linkCursor: Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="mx.skins.cursor.DragLink");
        moveCursor: Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="mx.skins.cursor.DragMove");
        rejectCursor: Embed(source="Assets.swf",symbol="mx.skins.cursor.DragReject");
</fx:Style>

If I recall correctly, CS3 didn't have the option in the new document screen. I could be mistaken here though . Try creating a new AS3 document and change the publish settings to target Adobe AIR instead of Flash Player. Then run the commands and see if you receive the same error.

Performance issue on iPad4 with AIR SDK 3.9

Hi!
I have an app that I've created with Flex SDK 4.6.0. The first time I've compiled the app with AIR SDK 3.1 and it runs with good performance on iPad4 (and little bit slow on oPad2). Then I've upgrated the AIR SDK to the version 3.9 and suddenly my app starts to run slow (but on iPad2 performance is good)
Is it any known problem with AIR SDK 3.9 on iPad4? Or on iOS 6.1?
Should I downgrade the AIR SDK back to 3.1 to get good performance on iPad4?
Thanks in advance
UPD: I've downgraded the AIR SDK to 3.1 and my app get back the good performance! (But there's some strange bugs)

Hi Nimit!
1. I've upgraded AIR SDK to 4.0 beta and the problem is gone away.
2. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can share my app - it's not in the policy of the company I'm working for. I'll check it out with my boss
Than you,
Olga

It's back! Bad aapt file in AIR SDK 3.4.0.2710 and can't compile in Flash Pro!

It's happened again! This also happened in a version of AIR SDK 3.3 and I had to rollback. I reported that issue as well. (search aapt)
Flash Professional CS6 REQUIRES an aapt.exe file, not an aapt file, but aapt.exe file in \AIR_SDK_3.4.0.2710\lib\android\bin\
in order to build AIR for Android apps.
Can't you put something in your build tests to cover this?
Go back and look at 3.4.0.2540 and you will see a aapt.exe file at this location within the SDK and it doesn't exist in 2710.
I'm running the latest version of Flash Pro CS6.
I'm also seeing all kinds of weirdness now with my AIR for Android builds that use ANE files. After the ANE pops an ad, my app won't properly update its screen unless its "nudged" with a tap on the touch screen. I was fine when I was building and testing under 2540 but I updated my Droid 2 test device to AIR 2710 the other day and now I'm having problems. Not good to think all the apps I've already published out may now be having severe problems if users have upgrade their AIR SDK.. Can't confirm that 2710 is the problem until I rollback my test device back to AIR 2540 though. Looks like you may be trying to fix this issue in 3.5 Beta - that's good.

Hi Kevin,
Dunno if you saw my other post to you, but I've put up a copy of the SDK that you were looking for and asked that we change our procedures going forward. As for the actual issue, would you mind creating a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com if you haven't already?
Thanks

Installed Air SDK's disapere after re-launch

I've got an issue on my Flash Professional CC application when dealing with Air SDK's.
After I did a migration of my account into a new mac, every time I quit and relaunch my Flash Professional CC enviroment, the SDK's disapere. Or not really disapere, they are still in the menu if I go to Help>Manage SDK, but they are not present in the target drop down under publish, and I get a alert when opening projects with the "missing" SDK assigned to it.
Could it be permission issues on some settings file somewhere that Migration Assistant damaged when migrating to the new computer?
Anyone?

I knew there was a reason people called me exceptional
Regarding one practical benefit for me - saved lots space when backing up over time. And the uninstall app feature is handy.
But, as you write, YMMV.
For example, I expect you could get in trouble eliminating every file that might pop up via some of its functions.

AIR SDK 3.6 Could not resolve component

I have Flash Builder 4.6 and the AIR SDK version is 3.5, Today i update the AIR SDK version to 3.6, However when i debug the appliction, the Flash Builder popup a error for "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation." .
I have downloaded AIR SDK3.6 from here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

Hi Jack,
Please download AIR SDK from a small note below on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
for flex users.
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler.
Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
Thanks,

Problem with the AIR SDK (OSX 10.6.8)

Hi (sorry for my poor english),
I would like to install the AIR SDK in order to do development of a little application.
The problem is when I want to use the "adl" command in order to try the installation, this is the result :
MJR-2:~ Woodgate$ adl

I don't why does it want to use the version 9...

I can't find any solution on the web about that and all my friends with the same configuration haven't any problem...
So I can't work today... does someone have an idea ?
Thank you very much.

ANT build produces not working package with 3.5 AIR SDK

I used AIR SDK 3.1 and have ANT script to compile and package iPad(AdHoc for testing) application. I tried to switch to 3.5 SDK today but when I install *.ipa and launch on iPad it hangs at the spalsh screen.
I tried to make release build using Flash Builder UI and it worked. So the question is has anything changed in terms of packaging/compilation options?
Just in case attached my current ANT script:

You may want to try using the settings used by Flash Builder to package the application, more details of which can be found at:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/compilation-results-flex-builder-flex.html
Update your ANT script with these, and try again.
Please get back and tell if it resolved the issue and what change you had to made in your ANT script.

File.upload on Air SDK for iOS devices failed to send http request to server.

I am trying to use ActionScript's File.upload to upload a file on Air SDK for iOS8 environment, but the File.upload does not work properly. No handler about the file upload is executed after File.upload is invoked, and no exception is caught. When I check the network traffic of the server side, I found that no http request even hit the server after File.upload is executed. The code snippet here is very simple.
private var file:File;
private var dir:File;
//This method is executed to create a file and upload it when the Upload Button is pressed.
protected function OnUploadButtonPressed(event:MouseEvent):void{
var str:String = 'This is test';
var imageBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for ( var i:int = 0; i < str.length; i++ ) {
imageBytes.writeByte( str.charCodeAt(i) );
try{
dir = File.applicationStorageDirectory
var now:Date = new Date();
var filename:String = "test" + now.seconds + now.milliseconds + ".txt";
file = dir.resolvePath( filename );
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open( file, FileMode.WRITE );
stream.writeBytes( imageBytes );
stream.close();
file.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, uploadComplete );
file.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError );
file.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError );
file.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, someError);
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
file.upload( new URLRequest("http://10.60.99.31/MyPath/fileUploadTest.do"));//This line does not work. No handler is executed. No http request hit the server side.
} catch( e:Error ) {
trace( e );
//Complete Handler
private function uploadComplete( event:Event ):void
trace( "Upload successful." );
//IOError handler
private function ioError( error:IOErrorEvent ):void
trace( "Upload failed: " + error.text );
//SecurityError handler
private function securityError(error:SecurityErrorEvent):void{
trace( "Security error:" + error.text );
//Other handler
private function someError(error:ErrorEvent):void{
trace("some error" + error.text);
//Progress handler
private function onProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void{
trace("progressHandler");
When executed on Air Simulator, it works fine as expected, and the file is successfully uploaded to the server. But When executed on iOS devices(in my case, iPad), as I explain early, no handler about the file upload is executed, and no the http request even hit the server. So I think the problem may be in the client side. It seems that the Air SDK for iOS just failed to send the http request for some reason.
To make my problem more clear, I list my environment below:
Development Environment: Windows7 (64bit) / Mac os 10.9.4 (Tested on OS platforms.)
IDE: Flash Builder 4.7
Air SDK: 3.8 / 16.0.0 (After I updated to the lastest Air SDK 16.0.0 , the problem still exists.)
Application Server: Tomcat7 + Spring
Target OS: iOS 8
I have been struggling for this for days. So I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bluewindice ,
As you have quoted ( ActionScript's File.upload does not work on Air SDK for iOS devices ) , this issue has been replicated at our end, and our team will be working on it.
Thanks,

Air sdk 16.0 and mobile theme css

Hi,
I use AIR SDK 16.0 in order to build an ARM 64bits for IOS. However the default css mobile theme (mobile.swc) is not taken in consideration while with SDK 15.0 it was ok. How do I can use default.css of mobile.swc with SDK 16.0?
Thanksin advance,
Best ragards,

Hello Adobe developer,
The crash happens when app included ANE file. The description of issue is same with comment "Vivid75 Feb 3, 2015 3:26 PM" (The crash happens on 64 bit devices running ios 7.x that have ANE files attached to them. It crashes even if the ANE is 64 bit compatible).
When do you offer the next public release of AIR SDK which fixed the crash issue?

Which AIR SDK versions will run which iOS versions

Where can I find information about which AIR SDKs can target each version of iOS.
Specifically, we are updating our app from AIR SDK 3.4 to the current 3.7; however, we aren't sure which versions of iOS the new SDK will work with.
There is an air faq (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/faq.html#) which states that "Adobe AIR 3.5 supports iOS 6", but my question concerns how an AIR app produced for the newer iOSs will run under older iOSs.
Thanks!

Any News from Adobe Air SDK, on why we still can't REMOVE "android.permission.INTERNET" from a release compile?

Is there any new developments on the Adobe Air issue, of being able to COMPLETELY REMOVE the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest file? As of today, you can still completely remove the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest, bundle your app with Captive Runtime, and Adobe Air SDK will still "tack" the permission onto the end of the manifest block. With users and privacy concerns these days, surely Adobe would recognize that developers building apps that DO NOT REQUIRE Network Access, should be able to remove that permission. Any help on this?

I see Flash will now be able to export iPhone apps directly. Although Flash itself will still not run on the iPhone. It would be great if Director had that functionality a well. Even better if apps could run on both the iPhone and Blackberry!

"This bundle is invalid" no upload to iTunes allowed with Air SDK 4.0

Hello,
it is not possible to deliver to the iTunes anymore.
I just updated my Sudoku game including Russian and Chinese language support and compiled it using the most recent Adobe Air SDK 4.0
When uploading to iTunes with the application loader it says:
"This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting application built with this version of the SDK".
Testing locally on the devices works nonetheless.
What can I do now?
Best,
Henning

I had the same issue, and using the AIR SDK 4.0 build 4.0.0.1619 from :
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/air/air4-0_sdk_win.zip
works for me (or to be specific, at least I was able to submit it to the app store without the "This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of the sdk" message. Dev environment is:
Windows machine, swf created on Flash Pro CS5.5
Windows machine, packaged swf for iOS with SDK 4.0 using commandline arguments on Windows
xferred to Mac, unzipped, rezipped payload app, then uploaded to iTunes using Application Loader 2.9 (439)

Flash Builder 4.7 - AIR SDK 3.1: Directory does not contain a AIR SDK

Im still having issues with using AIR 3.1 with flash builder 4.7 (see my previous posts) and would appreciate any help/ advice.
Ive uninstalled FB 4.7, reinstalled and followed the procedure to overlay AIR 3.1. Im now getting the following error -
AIR SDK 3.1: Directory does not contain a AIR SDK
Reason for using AIR 3.1 is that all of my projects are built with AIR 3.1 and no longer work with FB 4.7.

Can anyone from adobe help with this please?

Is Adobe Air SDK needed GPU information, when the game want to load the ATF file ?

Hi, Adobe members.
this is jonghwan lee.
Actually I found texture load issue on a game(names samkukjangtu on korean) which is using Adobe gaming sdk.
the game uses the ATF file for the textures on the game(actually it's related in Air SDK, I think).
Of course, it is not problem for others GPU. but the newly launched IMG GPU( PowerVR rgx version ) makes this problem.
I guess the SDK is using GPU information for the control some configuration
is that right? please let me know about this issue ASAP.
thank you.

Well. the issue is like texture loading problem as shown below.
<- this image is made from ATF files.
From checking original ATF file with ATF view program, the image was all right.
But the image is polluted like this after loaded on Texture memory.
So, I assume that Adobe Air SDK set some configurations for loading ATF files with GPU information.
Becasue this problem is not reproduced on the smartphone which uses the existing GPU(It means already launched GPU), but it is reproduced for the newly developed GPU(actually i'm developing with Imagination rgx version which is not really launched).
To sum up, Please confirm that Adobe Air SDK uses GPU information for loading texture from ATF file.
