Help signing Air Application

Hi,
I am trying to sort out an issue with signing an AIR application using Flash.
The certificate was downloaded from Thawte into Firefox,backed up the certificate to a p12 file and used that in the     Air2 settings area.
Every time I try to publish, I get an error "unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer"
I am using Macosx 10.6 and flash CS5
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hurray i fixed it.
I had to debug by adding extra files one by one, which was very painful.
However i found out that one .flv i had included had the & sign in its name. This was causing the error.

  • Help, Large AIR Application wont install :(

    Hi,
    Im very new to adobe AIR so please forgive me if im being thick
    I am using Adobe CS4 to create an AIR application out of an existing flash web based project.
    Basically the project is quite large in size 500MG+
    The project previews fine and works. But when i package the AIR file and try and run it it says preparing to install for a little bit and then says: Sorry an error occurred. The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author."
    Form a little testing if i dont include some of the files and bring the overall project size down dramatically the AIR application installs successfully and runs (obviously without some .swf bits i have not included)
    Im really stuck here is there a limit to what AIR can handle? I really want to get this desktop application going and would greatly appreciate any help or pionts in the right direction.
    Hope smeone can help,
    Thanks,

  • Problem signing AIR application using migrate option

    I have a pkcs12 certificate (certificate.p12) which expired on 2014-09-16.
    Looking at Adobe AIR * Signing an updated version of an AIR application it should be in range of the 180 days/365 days after expiration, so it should be usable to sign for migration purposes.
    But using it like this:
    adt -migrate -storetype pkcs12 -keystore certificate.p12 test.air migrated_test.air
    Produces the following error:
    The signer's certificate chain contains a revoked certificate
    Questions:
    a) Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be or possible solutions?
    b) Is the error-message really caused by the expiration of the certificate, or would that error message be different, like for example: The signer's certificate chain contains an expired certificate?
    c) My thinking in b) is in regard to that the certificate was issued by TC TrustCenter GmbH which no longer issues certificates. Could this be the cause here?

    Okay, i just learned further infos. It really seems to be the case that the certification entries of TC TrustCenter GmbH were set to revoked state.
    Wahy was that done, should they be allowed to do this at this time?
    Can i still somehow do the migration?

  • Problem with signing AIR application on Mac

    I have a Code Signing key from Comodo as a P7s file which has been imported into Keychain Access on my Mac.
    Keychain Access lets me export the key to a P12 file but does not give me the option to export the key with the entire chain intact.
    I can successfully identify the exported key but then when I try to export a release build I get the error:
    Error creating AIR file: Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.
    Any suggestions on how to overcome this issue?
    TIA

    I think someone in the AIR forums will have a higher probability of knowing how to do this using Keychain:

  • Digitally Signing Flex/AIR Application

    I am looking for some help with updating an AIR application with a renewed certificate.
    The way that Adobe AIR handles digitally signed certificates is fairly confusing. I think it has changed with the release of AIR 1.5.3 and this change has caught us off guard and has resulted in some problems.
    According to the Adobe website: Prior to AIR 1.5.3, signing an AIR application with a renewed certificate did not always require a migration signature. Starting with AIR 1.5.3, a migration signature is always required for renewed certificates.
    Furthermore: The certificate must be changed before the original certificate expires. If you do not create an update signed with a migration signature before your certificate expires, users will have to uninstall their existing version of your application before installing a new version. As of AIR 1.5.3, an expired certificate can be used to apply a migration signature within a 180 day grace period after the certificate has expired. (You cannot use the expired certificate to apply the main application signature.).
    See:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff0. html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7cca
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS13ACB483-1711-43c0-9049-0A7251630A7D.htm l
    BOTTOM LINE:
    We did not create a "migration signature" within the 180 grace period because we had no updates (bug fixes or enhancements) to our application during this time. When I finally did prepare a new release of our application and signed it with our new certificate, the Adobe installer is not recognizing the new application as an UPDATE of the old application so when you try to install it, the user gets an error message that an application that the same name is already installed. In the past, the installer recognizes the new application as an update and it replaces the old app. I think there may be a way for me to handle this properly, but all of my attempts so far have not produced the results I am looking for.
    The issues may be related to specifying a Publisher ID. We may need to specify the publisherId in the descriptor.xml file, which we have never had to do in the past. However, the publisherId property may only be available in 1.5.3. I have been having trouble specifying the 1.5.3 name space (<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.3">). I think that must only be available for newer versions of the compiler. I am currently using 3.5.
    Are there any experts on this topic that can explain How I can package my updated app so that the installer recognizes it as an UPDATE and not a NEW APP with the same name (which doesn't work)?

    Any ideas on this?

  • Help need in drag drop operation in AIR application

    I would like to know if there is a way to drag and drop an attachment file from an desktop mail client application(similar to MSoutlook)  into an AIR application and make it accessible to the AIR application.
    I did experiments with this the drag operation and its giving AIR a File Promise List format as its file type.
    But I'm not exactly sure how to make use of it once it is dropped. The examples in web explains how to manupilate File Promises list format from an AIR application to the desktop.
    There is not much explainations about droping a file promise list format into an AIR app. your valuable help will be greatly appreciated.

    Dear all,
    Is the above mentioned task feasible or not?.If not do mention any other way for implementing this functionality or close to it.

  • Need Help for AIR Email Application

    Hi,
    I’m a beginner to Adobe AIR.
    My new assignment is to create an AIR Application which works like MS Outlook with minimal features like compose mail, inbox, send items and contact details.
    With the help of some server side script (like PHP, CF) I can make it work. But My TL asked me to communicate directly with mail server through AIR.
    I googled for a week for some tutorial to help me, But I can’t find anything useful.
    Is there any way to communicate directly with web server and list the Inbox, Outbox, and Contact details…? If so, please help me to find the solution…
    Thanks In Advance

    Hi,
    You can use LaunchExecutableEx to determine the window state:
    LaunchExecutableEx ("command.com /C calc.exe", LE_HIDE, NULL);
    Beware that this function does not wait for the started executable to exit.
    It executes the command in the string and continues.
    If your application has to get the results of the call, then you need to get the application handle  (3rd parameter, put a variable instead of the NULL above) and call ExecutableHasTerminated in a loop to find out if the execution finished.
    Read carefully the help for the LaunchExecutableEx function and Handle parameter.
    To get the result of the command line call, you can add a "> output.txt" parameter to the end of your command line call.
    This way all the text output of the command is written to the output.txt file, from which you can read the result.
    Check the command-line email sender program's help if there is a special paramter to make it more "verbose".
    Hope this helps,

    Hi Anil,
    If you go to RSPLAN there you can go to Portal link (it must be configured properly in system)
    In portal there will be wizard where you can easily go step by step and create planning functions and sequences like below:
           1.      You choose the appropriate InfoProvider.
           2.      You create one or more aggregation levels.
           3.      You create one or more filters.
           4.      You create one or more planning functions.
           5.      You create a planning sequence.
           6.      You test the planning model.
    which is clearly explained in below link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d2440301a06f4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
    after doing this you can create a query on aggregates you have created above and then make query input ready i.e planning enabled for keyfigures you want like mentioned in below link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/1d023a41130bd5e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
    then you can run query in Analyzer and save it as a work book after proper drilldown which can be used as template.
    Hope you understood basic thing, as you going on doing u will know clearly every thing.

  • Issue with decreasing startup time of Air Application(Please Help)

    If someone knew the answer to this it would really help me. I put a large directory into my source folder that was pulling up HTML files through a mx:html. I added a creationComplete function so a the user would fill out a registration form before they start using the application. When I run the application from Flex it runs fine but when I export the application and turn it into a .air file and install it on a computer, the application seems to be scanning the entire directory(the src folder) the application is in, including the large sub-directory housing the HTML files, before the application starts. I don't know if its the creationComplete fuction or something else, but my application did not do this before but know its doing it now. There is no need to scan the entire folder before the application starts. Does anyone know what function would be scanning the source folder before opening the application? Is it the creationComplete function? Do I have any other alternatives besides for creationComplete that will not scan the entire folder at application startup, or is there anyway to exclude a specific subdiretory (in the src folder) at startup so the a application will not scan the entire folder before opening, or should I put the creationComplete function in a separate directory.
    What i'm using:
    <mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns="*"
        height="730" width="1257" title="Prototype" xmlns:comp="components.*"
        creationComplete="checkRegistrationWinInfo(), checkRegistrationInfo()">

    Post both these methods:
    checkRegistrationWinInfo(), checkRegistrationInfo()
    creationComplete itself does nothing with the system. It's an internal (Flex) thing.
    AFAIK, an air application doesn't "scan" anything when started.

  • AIR application code signing?

    I have a code signing certificate from StartSSL.com.
    After validation I only get a yellow question mark in the application installer.
    That is already better than the red exclamation mark with a self-signed certificate.
    Can someone give me an example of an AIR application out there that has ALL GREEN in the install dialog?
    What certification authority do I need to sign up with to get an ALL GREEN installation dialog?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hy David, this is an answer I got from StartSSL.
    Have you tried to install your application using the Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime? It would be interesting to know, how your install dialog looks there.
    Hi Beat,

    Dear Sir or Madam
    I have a rather simple question: Will I be able to sign an Adobe AIR Application with the “Start SSL Verified” Object Sign Feature? I have not found any information on this on your Website or the FAQs.
    It depends what the basis for the trust anchor is, but I suspect since Adobe doesn't support the StartCom root yet, there will be probably a warning for this type of application.
    So far Windows, Apple and Mozilla applications and extensions are supported.

  • Air application shows no GUI, any help?

    Hi all,
    I built and run an AIR application in  Flash Builder 4 IDE. The code works fine, the application runs and there is no error or warning. The GUI shows up okay and there is no any error when I  run "Export Release Build"  to create the myApp.air to make the application installable.
    With the myApp.air file, when I install this application, the installation goes okay but when I run the installed myApp application nothing shows up. I mean no GUI. If I check the task manager, the app seems running there as a process.
    This whole thing remained the same when I used FLEX Builder 3 as well as when I used command line build.
    Please help me resolve this problem.

    KGLAD, I appreciate your time and suggestions.
    I am sorry but I think I was not able to make my problem clear to you or may be didn't get you quite well.
    I have an application which runs fine when I build and run it in the IDE.  There is no error or warning at all.
    I can export this application to application.air without any error or warning.
    The main problem is - after I install the exported application.air app, nothing shows up. If I check in the task manager, the app seems running as a process.
    I can see all the required files loaded in the application.air package when I open it as a zip folder.
    Please tell me what things should I try to trace and when and where? Also share me some ideas on how to fix it.
    For your info:
    This app is AIR 1.0 app compiled with flex sdk 3.0 in Flex builder 3
    The problem remains same if I use flash builder 4 or do the command line compilation with adl and adt.
    I am using windows vista OS [Business Version].

    I assume you use Flex Builder. There is a UI that will let create a certificate when you try to export the AIR file.
    If you are using ADT directly. Use the '-certificate' option to create a PFX file.
