How difficult is it to port an air ap developed for iOS to Android?

We're very pleased with the iOS app we've developed with Flash Pro, (and even happier we can parlay our Flash skills into app development).
Generally speaking, is it a huge undertaking to publish the app for Android users?
I see it's an available option in Flash, but I'm wondering if it's opening up a whole new can of worms, not being familiar with the ins and outs of Android.

Like Colin mentioned it is based on how your app is laid out, if its dynamic or is designed to be cropped by the different screens it is just a matter of a republish for .apk instead of an .ipa some things are different from platform to platform like ANE related stuff but the base app is almost identical, this is the major advantage of using Adobe.
I would recommend just going and trying it on an Android phone or tablet and I think you will answer all your concerns when you try the app.
Major headache with Android is the insane amount of devices out there in the wild, you will never have your app run smooth on all of them and it is impossible to test on each one with over 1400 out now and 1-5 coming out everyday it seems. With apple you can basically test on 3-4 devices and be covered. If you decided to publish on Android get your stuff on Google Play, Amazon and the NOOK stores to increase exposure.

Flash Pro CS6にて「AIR 3.4 for iOS」で.ランタイム共有ライブラリの警告が出てしまう.

「Flash CS6」を、Windows 7(32bit)で利用しています。
現在、iOS用のAIRアプリを作成を試みておりますが、パブリッシュの際に下記の警告が出力ウィンドウに表示されます。
警告 : ランタイム共有ライブラリ (RSL) としてリンクされているライブラリがありません。原因となるパブリッシュ設定 : AIR 3.4 for iOS
設定は「AIR for iOS（3.4）」で、3.2としても同様の警告が現れます。
ipaファイルは正常？に作成されますので、それを登録済みのiPhoneやiPadにインストールし、起動することができます。
しかし、プログラムに記述したNativeExtension（NetworkInfoなど）の機能が動きません。。。
CS6上の「制御」→「ムービープレビュー」→「AIR Debug Launcher(モバイル)を使用」で動かすと、上記のNativeExtensionの機能が動いています。
上記のライブラリがリンクされていないことが原因かと思いますが、Flash CS6上でどのような設定を行えば、警告が出なくなるのでしょうか？
一応、実機でのインストールや起動も出来ますので、プロビジョニングファイルやp12ファイルは正しく設定できていると思いますが。
開発環境は以下の通りです。
・Flash Professional CS6
・Windows 7(32bit)
・AIR SDK：3.4 for iOS
ネット上を探してみましたが、手がかりがなく、困っております。
どなたかご存知の方がいらっしゃいましたら、よろしくお願いします。

Native Extensionsに関して参考になりそうなページがあったのでお知らせします。
こちらの説明をみて設定を確認してみてください。

I think you are hitting the GPU fullscreen bug in AIR 2.7(http://forums.adobe.com/message/3747867). It suspect it is not related to the scale mode that you are setting. To confirm, you could set the renderMode to cpu in your application xml. You should not be able to reproduce the bug.

How to get Flash to use AIR 2.7 for iOS?

How do I force Flash Pro to use AIR 2.7 for an iOS-project?
When choosing Publish settings you can only choose AIR for iOS without any version numbers. But when you choose only AIR there is a version number. According to an informative video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-platform-in-action/adobe-air-27-faster-app-performance-on- ios/ it seems like 2.7 could be the solution to my problems. Obviously the 2.7 version is for iOS too and not for "AIR only".
I have installed 2.7 but in the xml-file that follows with the ipa-file that has been created it says AIR 2.6. But when I try to download 2.7 (again) I get the information that I already have AIR installed... I guess "he/she" means 2.7 because I can see it in a dll-file (according to instructions on a web page on www.adobe.com (can't find it right now)).
So why am I not getting the ipa-file created with AIR 2.7? What can I do to make it happen?
Best regards,
Åsa

Thanks a lot, this is helpful.
My interpretation of this document is that the version of AIR used comes from what version of Flash Pro you are using. Correct? And you are not supposed to upgrade AIR without upgrading Flash Pro according to Adobe?
Best regards,
Åsa

Do i use Air or Flex for iPhone and Android app development

Hi guys, whats the main difference between the 2 and does Air or Flex have everything Xcode does for iPhone/iPad development
I'm hearing that Flex has Android and SDK for iPhone, if this is the case why learn Xcode ?
Thanks

Titanium is good for iOS, but apparently not so good for Android. Moreover, it's not so cheap!
When one chooses a platform, one should also take into consideration the history and stability of the company which offers it.
That is why I would not go to Appcelerator: who knows what's behind the corner?
Sure, it is ironic that I say this after Adobe - a big company - has abandonded Flex...
Some alternatives:
- AMPChroma (Horrible name, but it has a solid company selling it: Antenna Software). This thing has the advantage that the content is not either native or web: the same content can be packaged for a web site AND for an app
     Pro's: Many big players are using it
     Con's: price list not very clear
- Adobe Edge "Preview" + Adobe PhoneGap <--- Adobe says: you create animation for the web, you package it for an app. Not many people have tried it. But apparently it will work.
     Pro's: apparently, Edge is Adobe's instrument to finally go to HTML5.
     Con's: Edge "showcase" performs BADLY and SLOWLY in an iPhone (go think of a Samsung Mini)
- Adobe Flash professional CS6 + Create JS <--- you create animations in Flash, then you export to HTML5 and js for browsers which don't have flash. You can also package with AIR for iOS and Droid.
     Pro's: Flash professional is easy, Action Script is powerful. You can have BOTH the power of Flash and the portability of html5/JS.
     Con's: for how long will Adobe support this Create JS hack? When will Adobe say "OK, now you've done enough automatic porting to JS, from next release on you move to Edge, or to - wait for it - a version of Flash which uses Javascript instead than ActionScript?"
Me, I don't know what to do. I am keen on FlashBuilder/Flex because it's fast to build. Apps are really compatible both with iOS and Android. It has Salesforce.com connectivity. It's cool.
However, there are two problems that get me stuck from continuing with FlashBuilder:
- OK for native apps but... how do I use the Flash Builder/Flex content for the mobile WEB? Flash Builder does not have the CreateJS capability. I do a cool interface and I cannot reuse it on the mobile web if not with apps?
- OK for HTML5 but... it's NOT as good as Flash now. Have you ever seen a Phonegap application with graphics? They're embarassing. Slow, imprecise. And non-compiled Edge stuff is not much better. Is it? any good example.
Bottom line: at the moment, HTML5 support does not seem good. On the other hand, Flex is NOT compatible with mobile web. What IS performing and promises to be compatible with mobile web in addition to native apps?
Flash Professional CS6.
Again.
I am happy if some-one belies me with good arguments.

Detected duplicate HTTP-based FlexSessions in CF10 with Air Mobile (3.4) IOS and Android apps

We're getting the "duplicate session" error using Flash Remoting from Air 3.4 Mobile Apps ( IOS and Android ) with Coldfusion 10 Standard.
faultCode:Server.Processing.DuplicateSessionDetected faultString:'Detected duplicate HTTP-based FlexSessions,
generally due to the remote host disabling session cookies.
Session cookies must be enabled to manage the client connection correctly.' faultDetail:'null'
Have read most of the docs about this error -all to do with LCDS
Notes:
Not using LCDS,
No Remote Calls from loaded Sub-Apps,
No Errors from the Flex Web App which is pretty much identical and calls the same cfcs.
The error does not happen all the time and is hard to reproduce - say 5% of app sessions at a guess.
Could it be a two first time remote calls hitting the server together before a session is set up?
Our remoteObjects are in two places 1) Main Application.mxml and within a class compiled into the main app - can't see how this would be an issue.
I enabled session management for the CFCs in Application.cfc but still occurs. Is this neccessary - it's not in any docs?
Could this be something to do with the app not being shut down - as is typical with mobile users? When they resume use after a day or two surely a new session will be created?
Please advise thank you.

For our profect I think this issue was caused as follows:
Believing that remoting was full asynchronous we fired a 2 or 3 remote calls to the server at the same time ( within the same function ) - usually when the users goes to a new section of the app.
This seemed to trigger the duplicate http session error since according to http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/2011/05/duplication-session-error.html two remote calls arriving before a session is created will cause 2 sessions to be created.
Our current solution ( too early to say it works ) is to daisy chain the multiple calls together .
Also there seemed to be an issue where mobile apps that never quit ( thanks Apple! ) caused the error when activated after a few hours.
I guess the session expires on the server and the error above occurs on activation.
So the mobile apps now ping the server with a remote call when activated after sleeping for more than one hour.
All duplicate http errors are silently caught and reported.
Fingers crossed we won't get any more!

Is there a way to open the settings app from an air app on both iOS and android?

Since you can't change the notifications settings within the app, is there a way to simply open the settings app from an air app? like a link or something like that?

Even on iOS this has only recently been added by Apple for iOS 8 only using the line:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]];
So you would have to wrap this in an ANE and then again, only for iOS and only call it in iOS 8+

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting basically the same error. Are there any rules or guidelines that we are suppose follow when writing an app for iOS? Is there a way to know exactly where it is crashing? My apps are not MXML, only actionscript. Also I made sure I have no errors not even warnings in my SWF file, but still no go!

Anyone know how to go to the last active row in Numbers for iOS ? There is no Home or End key on iPad.

Anyone know how to navigate through a spreadsheet in Numbers for iOS on an iPad. Specifically to go to the end of an active file since there is no End key.

see if any of this works for you
On a smaller keyboard, such as the wireless, or on portables, you can use fn- left arrow for home and fn- right arrow for end.
On a Mac, 'home and 'end' take you to the beginning and the end of document, respectively. Getting to the beginning or end of a line is done with cmd- leftarrow and cmd- rightarrow. Emacs shortcuts, such a ctrl-a and ctrl- e also work in most places, where the app is done right.

64bit AIR Native Extension for iOS

Hello,
I created a native extension to support ARM64 for iOS. The problem is I get the following error when packaging an ad-hoc build:
"Error: libgameCenter.a are required to have universal iOS libraries. Please contact the ANE developer(s) to get the same."
As I understand I need both armv7 and arm64 libraries. So I build for both of them using "xcodebuild" and then merge with "lipo -create" command.
However I think there is a step I'm missing. Please advice. Thank you.
AIR SDK: 16.0 beta
Xcode: 6.1.1

Well the change you need to do is inside your Xcode project, under Build Settings -> Architectures , make sure that you have selected "Standard Architectures (armv7, arm64)". One last thing to ensure that Valid Architectures should also contain arm64 entry along with other armv7 entries.

You need to place the crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Create a text file in the webroot folder using notepad, and call it crossdomain.xml. The text below will give you a wide open access policy, which is fine for testing.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
For debugging HTTP streaming I recommend you get hold of something like Charles or Fiddler. These will greatly assist in pinpointing any issues.

AIR 3 Extensions for iOS

Well not so much to go on for iOS part...
I got now a .ane file and everything should work well but Flash Builder notifies me that the .ane file is not signed....
So i googled how to sign the extension but there is absolutely nothing...
Anyone have any kind of idea or know where to point me ?

One more thing tho,
i dont get any errors but it complains about something, im running following commands:

And the result is:
