Fullscreen bugs in Air 2 apps under client Air 2.5 runtime?

We produce video distribution apps handling DRM in Air 2.0
We've encountered quite a serious bug in our Air applications' handling of Flash when going fullscreen.
Under Air 2.0, our apps were fully functional. No issues.
After the upgrade to Air 2.5, all PC installs no onger display video content in full screen when prompted to do so.
We have noticed the same error occurs in AMP 1.8 and are yet to find an example of an Air application that does not experience this issue.
As the bug is isolated to PC (not present on Mac at all), is it related to either:
a) Flash handling of the Output protection enacted with this update or
b) h264 hardware decoding
We have over 30K apps deployed and seek information regarding a resolution for this asap.
We have drafted a workaround, but it is not an ideal situation.
Is Air 2.5 being updated again (within 48hrs)?

Hello,
I'm sorry you've run into this fullscreen playback bug. We found this issue with AMP after the release of 2.5 (internal bug #2732895) and it will be fixed in our next release. Adobe announced yesterday that an update to Flash Player would occur on or before November 9th. Typically AIR and FP releases occur in tandem.
In our testing, we were only able to reproduce the issue with Adobe's Media Player, attempts to reproduce using AOL, BBC iPlayer, or MovieFone were unsuccessful. Could you point me to another example where this bug occurs? I'd like to verify it's fixed on more than one application.
I'm going to follow up with you via the forums private message system, you can also email me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Chris

Fullscreen bug in AIR 2.5

We built a flash application which was packed with AIR v1.0(current
version at that time), which by default opens in full screen mode
we had added a button within the application which uses the following
code to minimise the application
This code minimises the application till AIR runtime v2.03. Once the
runtime is upgraded to V2.5 the application stops to go fullscreen in
the below scenario
After upgradation if the user clicks minimise button, and then tries
to restore the application by clicking the application tab in the
taskbar, the application fails to go fullscreen
It remains as a borderless window with a partial portion of the
application displayed
Thereafter the user has to force quit the application and relaunch
This application series is our largest seller, and we are deeply
concerned of the Windows and Macintosh versions
We would really appreciate a quick response
Sanjay
Code
/* To minimize the window- on click the minimize method is called*/
windowChanger.minimise.
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,minimize);
private function minimize(event:MouseEvent):void
            myWindow.minimize();
            trace("minimize the window");
/* To maximize the window- onActiviate method is called*/
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event) {
            stageDetails();
public function stageDetails():void {
            stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
            stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;

For those following along, Sanjay and I have taken the discussion offline and he provided me with a couple of sample projects. I've been able to reproduce the issue on AIR 2.5 and it has now been entered as a bug in our internal database, #2751098.
I've also proposed a workaround that appears to work on both Mac and Win. Instead of
this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
public function onActivate(evt:Event):void
     stageDetails();
I've suggested using
stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent.DISPLAY_STATE_CHANGE, onDisplayStateChange);
public function onDisplayStateChange(evt:NativeWindowDisplayStateEvent):void
     if (evt.afterDisplayState == NativeWindowDisplayState.NORMAL)
     stageDetails();
I hope this helps anyone else that might encounter this issue.
Thanks,
Chris

AIR 3 Android runtime full of bugs?

I have a Flex SDK 4.5.1 Flex mobile app and i have not compiled it yet using the new SDK. So it's stil being compiled with the current 4.5.1 sdk release.
I took the air Runtime.apk from the sdk, manually installed it on my phone just to see how my current APK runs with the new Air 3 beta runtime...and it's full of bugs.
It starts out fine, but i've noticed after im on a view when I activate and view the raw camera inside the view, the screen sort of flickers, goes black for a second, then comes back.
Then, after this happens it seems like the back button no longer functions properly. Rather than doing a pop view, it seems to quit the application. This only happens after the camera is accessed.
I've also noticed randomly sometimes the view will no longer auto rotate properly, and some things don't scale properly.
I've also noticed the Sideways camera bug is still not resolved. This is extremely important and really needs to gets fixed. You can see the bug report I submitted a LONG time ago right here http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-30317 Please this has to be fixed.
To solve the random bugs, is it possible once i compile the app with the new sdk it wil work fine? Just seems like it should be able to run fine on the new runtime, what about the devs that don't update their apps right away?

This is all on a Nexus One 2.3.4 and a Xoom 3.1
Is anyone else out there with a flex mobile project? That features using the camera. Or maybe someone that can confirm the camea is sideways, causing flickers, and back button is sometimes exiting the app, rather than popView

App-v client 5.0 sp2 for RDS, Excel 2007, ESSBase add-in, win 2012 server R2 Excel crashes

App-V Client on Windows Server 2012

Hi all,
Could you please tell me if Microsoft support running the APP-V Client on a Windows Server 2012 image bundled as Windows 8 in a VDI solution?
Regards,
Mark

Bundled as Windows 8?? I'm assuming you mean RDSH?
If so, yes. You need to download and use the RDS version of the App-V Client.
If for some reason you actually mean a Windows 8 machine then also yes, you just use the Desktop version of the client. Both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are supported in App-V, so you shouldn't have a problem.

I have 2 Apple IDs. How can I move all my purchased (paid-for) apps under only 1 of my Apple IDs?

Long ago I bought several, relatively expensive, apps under a old Apple ID.
I then purchased many more paid-for apps under a new Apple ID.
I was unaware that the purchased apps are tied to the Apple ID which I happen to be logged in with, at the time of the purchase: I thought they'd be tied to my authorised PC(s).
Now I'm absolutely sick of having to constantly switch between IDs, even just to CHECK for updates.
What I want to do is move all the paid-for apps which I bought under the old Apple ID to the new Apple ID. Both ID demonstrably belong to me.
Having all my apps under 1 only Apple ID would allow me to update them easily, and no longer be FORCED to switch IDs all the time.
In short I want to use only 1 Apple ID for the future.
If the Apple Store locks the apps to the Apple ID (as it does) instead than to the authorised PC (as it should do), then it should also PREVENT a user from creating a second Apple ID (at least, from the same iTunes installation on the same PC!), or at the very least display a HUGE warning that any paid-for apps purchased under another, older Apple ID will be unavailable under the new Apple ID! The apple Store, and iTunes, do neither thing,
Then the Apple Store and iTunes should at the very least allow a user to put all apps under the same Apple ID!
After all, the Apple Store and iTunes on my PC and iTunes on my Iphone can all "see" that I own TWO legitimate Apple IDs (with purchases and updates): it must be possible to move these apps from one ID to the another ID, at least once! They're MY OWN purchases, paid: can I manage them a bit easier?
Marco

No, it seems you don't (want to) understand. I see 2 things very wrong with your explanation.
1. The move would only need to happen between "accounts" demonstrably and legitimately belonging to the same user. In fact, I'm still using both the old one (for updates only, no new purchases) and the new one (updates and purchases -- actually no morep urchases until Apple solves this). And unless I'm mistaken, I can already have my apps on more than one iDevice at the time: eg. on 1 iPhone and1 iPad. I don't ask for apps to be moved between unrelated accounts: only between accounts belonging to the same "person". And I do not see how changing what is effectively just a "label" embedded in the binary files residing on my hard disk (or in the cloud), which can be verified as legitimately belonging to me thru two ID registered on the same authorised PC could possibly allow anyone to cheat the system. The apps' files have embedded an old label before, and a new label after the operation, both belonging to me, associated to my payment details. That's not rocket science.
In fact, both my Apple ID were at some point linked to the same credit card. And in fact, I only created a second one because at some point I managed to forget my Hotmail EMAIL password, not my Apple STORE password!
The two passwords needn't be the same, adding to the confusion. For months I used that account to buy apps, and never checked the email, since I was not interested in marketing from Apple, and I could see the payments from my credit card statements: that's how I forgot my Hotmail EMAIL password for that Hotmail email address.
Since Microsoft wouldn't allow me to access my Hotmail account anymore (and rightly so, becuase I managed to exhaust all possibilities, and even forgot the security question), and so I could not check my Apple Store emails, I then decided to create a new account, this time with a Live! email address, and this time I used the same password for both the Live! EMAIL and the Apple STORE authentication.
For more than TWO years I used the old Hotmail Apple ID to get updates, without during all that time being able to read the email or access that Hotmail account: this should tell you how stupid this system is! And for the same time, and until last month (I no longer buy anything), I used the new ID for both NEW purchases and their updates.
Now after getting both a new iPhone (only because the old one was unfortunately stolen on my holiday) and a new PC, i NO longer want to be forced to use both IDs, which forces me to constantly switch between them, and also carries the risk that I inadvertently purchase something with the old one, to which EMAIL address I no longer have access: so I can't even check invoices. But most of all, I don't want to be inconvenienced like this by Apple.
Since the Apple ID is such an important concept, forever ID tied to your purchases, it should NOT be an email address, which are disposable by their own nature. When creating it, one is naturally driven to think it'll only be needed to check Apple Store's emails and newsletters and the such. Why should people be forced to FOREVER use an email address, perhaps linked to a job or relationship they had years earlier, to update their purchases?
The thing is, Apple made the Apple IDs as email addresses simply to ensure that as many people as possible can at any time buy as many apps and songs as possible: just create a new Apple ID: after all, it is (seems) just an email address! and you're done. But they DON'T telly you they'll tie FOREVER your purchases to it. So you're reasonably entitled to think they'll tie them to your payments details, until you discover otherwise the hard way.
And since most Apple users feel humbled by Apple (the "genial" idea of calling "Genius" the support guys at the stores, wo usually don't have a clue on anyhting less than trivial, is part of this) and fear of feeling "stupid" for getting wrong soemthing with what are supposed to be the most user-friendly company and products, they will simply buy the apps again under the new ID, bringing more profits to Apple. This also can't be casual.
My apps are available, under both Apple IDs at the same time, to iTunes: be it on my PC on in the iCloud. The same mechanism that physically "embeds" that Apple ID in the app file when I first buy it, can surely be used to change it afterwards. It's just a matter of willing to do so. This content (apps, songs, etc) may be digital (that is, files) rather than traditional (eg. books), but I assure you that the disk blocks taken by the app or song files in the iTunes directory on my PC or in the iCloud are as physical as a book or a mp3 player: they CAN be changed in a perfectly safe and trackable way, without risk of cheating. Ever heard of MAC addresses? Or other unique info that can easily be gathered from the PC's operating system or BIOS? or credit card details, already available?
2. The policy of inconveniencing (punishing) the huge majority of users (citizens) to prevent a tiny minority from misbehaving can be good for sheep, but not for rational people. It's typical of unimaginative, monopolistic companies (oppressive governments), not of progressive, modern and innovative ones. The cost of protecting their proficts from those who would steal from them is theirs (the company's), not ours (the users'). They should be more creative and inventive, in finding solutions to stop 10 people who would misuse their system, rather than annoying the 10 million who won't. I would never do so (mostly because I thing it's morally wrong, but also because I can't be bothered), but I understand why people invent ways to circumvent this gratuituos, bullish constraints.
Also, CAN'T you REALLY see the difference between these TWO options:
- allowing a user to change an app's associated account ONCE IN A LIFETIME, even only ONCE per app
- FORCING a user to switch Apple IDs EVERY TIME (DAY, OR WEEK) FOREVER, to check and/or update
??? Am I talking to a person, or to a robot, or to a undercover Apple employee here?
Both things are possible. The second is more convenient financially for Apple, that's all.
But it's also so clearly unfair to their customers. No more, thanks.
To finish, many if not almost all of the issues in threads like https://discussions.apple.com/message/18954743#18954743 (like husband and wife sharing a PC with two iPhones, or kids' gifts, etc) really boil down to this issue, despite being often complicated by sloppy explanation (when they say "password" , do they mean the Apple ID's or the Email account's?, and so on) and unreasonable requests (like having the same app, only paid once, available under two IDs, even if on the same PC: this is not what I ask, and it's unreasonable) -- and could be solved by the concept of a "master" ID and "secondary" ID: if you read well, the real issue is almost always for everybody having to switch between "old" (or "wife's", "kids'") and new (or "husband's", "dad's") Apple IDs: and this must be done on BOTH the iTunes application on the PC or Mac, and on the devices themselves.

Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

Issue: experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client.
Event Log: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
path 'C:' contains an invalid character
Symptoms (when in this current state):
Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content. (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

Webcam bug in Air 3.0

Hi all,
it's quite crazy, that this bug: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2951115 made it all the way from Beta to RC1 to final AIR 3.0 without being fixed.
(It was created end of August, first comment from Adobe was end of September...)
It is a regression in the webcam parts of AIR 3.0, and we have reproduced it on Windows and OSX with all kinds of webcams and both old video codec and h.264.
This completely negates the great enhancements h.264 brought to us for video quality by letting the video appear as if it has spasms.
So please speed up fixing this bug - since AIR 3.0 has come out, our customers are quite upset after we told them "with AIR 3.0 video quality will get a huge boost"...
And btw - anyone else experiencing this issue - and might have a workaround?
best regards,
mrzottel

Thank you very much for the update. It's good to hear that it has been fixed - can't wait for the next release then. Do you have any information on when it will be available? No definite date needed, but would it be more like days, weeks or month?
Our problem is, that we delivered a working product with AIR 2.7 to our customers, and even though many where sceptic that AIR/Flash would be the right platform, we proved them wrong - But we also did announce AIR 3.0 as a major breakthrough in video quality, which it is, no doubt, if it weren't for this bug.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that the update will be released soon
best regards,
mrzottel

On the iPhone 5s, performing any edit on a black and white photo will render a strong purple tone. This occurs in any app under the current iOS. Sadly, every photo must then be re-edited to restore the original black and white.

Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
Have some of you noticed the same?

What do I need to do, to sumbit an app under a company name?

What do I need to do, to sumbit an app under a company name?

You have to have a real company as evidenced by official state/government documents.
Then you contact Apple to have them change your individual account to a company account.
They will ask you to fax the above mentioned documents as proof.

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??
I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

Figured it out. Thanks.

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

We have cell data plan.
I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off. But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off. I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off? I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

Gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places).

I'm thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 5 but I want to keep the gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places). Is there any way that I can transfer this information to an iPhone 5?
