Is AIR for Blackberry 10 possible/worth it?

Has anyone developed for BB10 with Flash Professional?
How did you build the app?
Did you make it as an Android app and submit it?
Did it get many downloads? Was it worth doing?
What device did you test it on?
Will there be a propper AIR for Blackberry added to the publishing settings of Flash Pro in the future?

AIR is installed natively on BB10 and PlayBook, although it is still AIR 3.1 (i.e. no Stage3D).
Flash Builder and FDT are the preferred ways of developing, though it should be possible with Flash Pro if you know what you're doing. Better to try with FB or FDT first though, as they provide on-device debugging and excellent integration for packaging and deploying your apps. Otherwise you'll be messing around with the command line.
As BB10 has a native AIR runtime preinstalled, there is no point developing it as an AIR for Android app. In fact, it's impossible.
It is certainly worth it.
We use Dev Alpha's, PlayBooks and Z10's to test our BB apps.

  • AIR for IOS, ApplicationDomain problem: Error #2007: Parameter Possible symbol clash in multiple swf

    I am exporting a game for IOS in Flash CS6.
    I have isolated classes, except a framework for static utilities that do not clash, but I still get this message when exporting for IOS.
    AIR for desktop, even with ApplicationDomain.currentDomain works and does not give any error. Same on android.
    When I export the same exact project for IOS, it triggers that error randomly in different parts.
    All related with a call to a method on superclass, the instantiation of an internal class, or of a Vector typed to a custom internal class.
    TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter Possible symbol clash in multiple swfs, abcenv must be non-null.
    The line that triggers the error:
    return new RouletteChoserItemDev(num, data);
    Any help is appreciated.
    UPDATE
    I have changed the code into:
    var item:RouletteChoserItemDev;
    var MyClass:Class = RouletteChoserItemDev;
    item = new MyClass(num, data);
    Now I get this funny error:
    Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert device.plugins.rouletteLobby::RouletteChoserItemDev@6284bc9 to .
    Yes, cannot convert to ".", a dot!

    *FOUND A SOLUTION*
    The way ApplicationDomain.sameDomain works on Android and Desktop, and on IOS, IS DIFFERENT!!!
    I probably have to file this under AIR bugs.
    Anyway:
    - In loaded SWFs, classes which are not already stored in parent SWF CANNOT be instantiated.
    I.E.
    var c:MyClass = new MyClass(); // Will not work
    var c = new MyClass(); // Will not work
    var c:MyClass = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // Will not work
    var c = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // WORKS!!!!!
    var c:DisplayItem = getDefinitionByName("fullpackage.MyClass"); // WORKS!!!!!
    So, it seems that classes stored in local loaded SWF will not be accessible directly. Even though tracing it trace(MyClass) works well, the class cannot be used in code in any place. Variables cannot be typed, and class can only be instantiated with getDefinitionByName();
    All this, is true ONLY on IOS, same exact project and settings, will not trigger any error in AIR for Desktop or for Android.
    But since obviously we use the same codebase for all devices, this IOS *feature* has to guide the way we code, even though we break a few important OOP best practices.
    Hope I spared someone else the 3 days including an entire weekend I had to invest to find this out.

  • Submit APK for BlackBerry??

    Have you guys heard about the promo RIM is running to attract android developers?
    https://twitter.com/#!/asaunders/status/165097598624075777
    Anyway they have an online submission process that converts your .apk file to their .something file and so far I put one of my apps through it and it passed initial testing, I am still waiting on signing certificates to get it full submitted but I see one user is experiencing problems with it due to lack of an AIR plugin on the device.
    See link for problem.
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Plug-in-for-Android/Porting-from-Flash-t o-Android-to-Playbook-possible/td-p/1558193
    So my question is has anyone tried successfully submitting a Captive Runtime AIR app to the Android for BlackBerry program?
    Does the playbook have an air plug in? If so what version of air does it support, both the apps I plan on submitting exist in a 2.6 version and above.

    Sure, I Will keep you guys posted. For now I first have to figure out where to promote playbook apps.

  • What specs would make the perfect MacBook Air for college?

    I've decided I'm going to get a MacBook Air for college, but I want to make sure it's the best possible for my four years as an undergraduate so I don't have to get a new one over this time period.
    For the processor: how much of a speed difference will there be between the i5 and i7? I'm thinking the i7 will be a better choice, but I really don't know what the difference will be.
    For RAM: 4gb should be plenty for four years, right? Right now I have a late 2008 aluminum MacBook with only 2gb of RAM and only recently did I notice it to start getting slow.
    Storage: My biggest concern. Will 256gb last me four years? I will be bringing an external hard drive, but I plan on only really using that for Time Machine backups and storage for photos. Should I make the jump to 512gb?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    The $100 upgrade from 4GB to 8GB (personally) I think is a total no brainer. RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of and whatever decision you make at time of purchase is the one you're stuck with for the life of the machine. I can't tell you how many times I've had a user with the 2GB model from the previous generation complain of sluggish performance over a lack of available RAM. If it was hundreds of dollars I could see but it's not, especially when you factor in the cost of the machine. Over the course of three years the RAM upgrade translates into $2.78/month and you'd be "future proofing" yourself.
    As with previous generations, Apple only lets you upgrade from 256GB to 512GB if you buy the higher end model. Which means you're looking at $1999 for the 13" model with 512GB (4GB of RAM) and $1899 for the 11" model (4GB of RAM). Absolutely not worth it, unless you absolutely have to have 300-400GB of data available locally.
    I came into the conversation to clear up wrong information. If there's one thing I've learned in my time posting, more points doesn't mean good information. The OP, who's new, had a question about buying decisions and was given bad information. You've never corrected someone when they wrong? Doubt it...
    Regrettably, because this an open discussion forum, we're all free to respond to whoever and whenever. It's very possible that the OP may not know the technical differences between the various CPUs and thus would base his purchasing decision on your false information. Imagine his surprise when he's told that his i7 CPU is a dual core and not a quad core.
    Seeing you've asked (so eloquently I might add), I'm happy to provide information on the CPUs.
    The i5 in the 13" MacBook Air is an i5-3337U, the i7 is an i7-3667U. Both machines when benchmarked against one another in a PassMark CPU test scored as followed:
    i5 - 2,652
    i7 - 2,841
    A difference of 189 points. You're a numbers guy, Kappy. So if real estate property #1 is worth $2,652,000 and real estate property #2 is worth 2,841,000 how much more is that property worth? It's sure not 25%.
    My apologies to the OP for the divergent of your topic, but I think it's important when a frequent poster who's opinion is highly regarded but (other) members on here to be corrected when bad information is provided. I know I would expect the same correction if I recommended something incorrectly.

  • Can I exchange my macbook air for the new pro?

    I recently bought a haswell series 13" macbook air exactly 1 week before the introduction of the new haswell macbook pros.  After considering the spec and price difference I realized I'd rather have the pro. I looked on the returns tab on the website.  It said I can return my product within 14 days. Is it possible for me to exchange my air for the pro without having to go through returning my macbook air and buying the pro?  I realized the price difference wasn't all that differernt and I wouldn't mind the extra power. I currently have the 13" macbook air i5 with 8gb. I plan on getting the 8gb for the 13" retina display macbook pro as well

    I strongly doubt it. The best thing for you to do is to return this one before the 14 days expire. If the time passes you will have to keep the Air and try to sell it privately.
    Once Apple accepts the Air back and you know you are getting a refund you can start the order process for the Pro.

  • I just got a macbook air for xmas- now i wont get texts on my iPhone. they go right to my laptop. how can i get the texts to go to BOTH devices?

    My hubby just got me a macbook air for Xmas which is awesome.  Set it up to be able to ichat on it as well as on my iphone.  Only now i wont get texts on my iphone- ONLY on my laptop.  How can i configure so that I can get texts on my computer AND my phone. NOT just one or the other? Please help!

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • 2013 MacBook Air for CS6

    I've been looking at the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air for quite some time now. I'm a graphic designer, so I'll be looking to use Adobe CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat) and Aperture. Also of course, the general things such as Safari, Mail and iPhoto.
    I have the new 27-inch iMac at home, which serves as my main machine. 3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz, 32GB RAM (8GB at the moment - upgrading soon), 1TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX with 1GB. I love it!
    I absoloutely love the MacBook Air - it's a lovely design, so lightweight and the new 12 hour battery life is just epic!
    If I were to get the MacBook Air, I would definite upgrade to these specs;
    - 1.7GHz dual core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz (although I'm told the i7 will drain battery quicker, and isn't much faster?)
    - 8GB RAM
    - 128GB Flash Storage (or possibly 256GB - bare in mind, I have a 1TB external hard drive).
    So I guess the big question is... Will the new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air, with these specs, be sufficient for my needs?
    Thanks in advance!

    Ah, thats too bad. It's really annoying. Any workaround to make the line less visible? (i.e. external monitor)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The problem of the MacBook Air is the GPU, and Adobe apps don't support the GPU of your MacBook officially because it's an integrated GPU.
    Sincerely, if you want to use that type of applications, the only valid Mac is the 15-inch MacBook Pro. It includes a quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM (with the possibility to add up to 16 GB), a 500 GB HDD (with possibilities for bigger HDDs and SSDs) and a NVIDIA GPU which will work with your applications without any problem. Also, you can modify the RAM and hard drive without voiding the warranty.
    If you want to give the MacBook Air a try, buy it and see if your applications work properly. You have 14 days to return it if it doesn't work as you expected, but to be sure, go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is designed for home tasks

  • How can I use a file in flash cs6 that I made in flash cs5.5 air for android

    I have made an app in in air for android in flash cs5.5 air for android, and I want to edit it in cs6 and play it in cs6.
    But if I put Ctrl+Enter I got an error: createWin process failed with error 2: system couldn't find the file. I think the problem is that I'am using air for android 2.6 version in flash cs5.5 and version 3.2 in flash cs6. I have searched the web and found out that you can add older air versions using the sdk manager and I have tried it but first I get the error that the version of the sdk I am trying to install is not valid and after some files that I added to the sdk folder I get this error:Only SDK higher than version 3.4.2540 may be added.
    I there a possible way to update the air for android for an fla or apk? Or how can I let my originally file work fine in flash cs6??

    system couldn't find the file
    If you can´t get a more specific hint why your project can´t compile then I can think of some reasons theis error might occur
    1.You had files included besides the swf, like videos, audio files, xml files, that are not present in the place air expects them to be
    2.somewhere in your createWin functions there is a class import needed that isn`t present in 3.2 anymore, for example some classes or functions from classes that were valid in 2.6 are not any more in 3.2
    3. to achieve better eror logging, allow for debugging in the publishing options and see what specific lines in your code throw the error
    4.any air app needs a cert file, this needs to be created once, if you migrated to e new system it might be you never created that file which air expects to even begin the compiling process
    once you isolate the problem, report back

  • How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

    I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
    For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
      I have several questions related to that.
      1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
      2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the  complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
      3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
      Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

    You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library.  It took some work, but the test worked well...

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

  • StockDaddy Turbo for BlackBerry 10 updated to v1.1.0

  • Blackberry Traffic for Blackberry 10 OS

    I live in Los Angeles.  When using the freeway system here, many times there are three, even four, different freeways to take to get to one location.  Many times one freeway is jammed, and alternate routes are a must.  Blackberry Traffic would let you know which freeway to take to get to a location and how to get there the quickest, even adjusting traffic conditions and arrival times based on real-time traffic conditions, as you traveled.  It would show you all the different routes, color code the traffic speed/conditions along your route, and update by the minute.  For a 25 mile trip in Los Los Angeles, it could take you sometimes an hour or more, but with BB Traffic, you could shave off 15 minutes from your trip.  This app was indispensable as a commuter in Los Angeles.   
    Now, because my company changed email servers, I have to upgrade from by Bold 9900 (which has BB Traffic) to a Z10 to be able to get the Enterprise email service on my phone.  But, no BB Traffic - very disappointing.  And I agree with those in other forums who point out that you cannot compare a mapping program with BB Traffic - there is no comparison; it's like apples to oranges.  The Blackberry Traffic app is far more feature-rich than Blackberry Maps when it comes to the traffic features.  The "traffic" feature in Blackberry Maps is NOT the same as Blackberry Traffic - please do not try to insult us by telling us it is. 

    hotdjdave, no one is insulting you, I don't see how anyone is.
    For what it's worth, I've heard more of the BlackBerry Traffic features are coming to BBMaps.
    I don't know when.

  • Problems with BBC iPlayer Desktop and Adobe Air for Mac

    I would be grateful for anyone who can help me with a problem I have on my Laptop running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.I am having difficulty running BBC iPlayer Desktop and I suspect it is caused by Adobe Air.
    Recently I was prompted to update Adobe Air to the latest version (as of February 2012) and after I successfully updated the program, this began to cause problems when I used BBC iPlayer desktop.
    The first problem I noticed was that I was unable to play any downloaded programmes in full screen - only the sound played, not the video.
    Secondly, a few weeks after this problem began, all my TV programmes mysteriously disappeared.
    My final problem is that everytime I launch BBC iPlayer it is unable to download new programmes - when I am connected to the internet, the application still says it is "offline".
    I have tried to resolve the problem by restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling BBC iPlayer, disabling and re-enabling my firewall, connecting to the internet in different locations but this has not resolved the problem.
    I tried to uninstall Adobe Air, but the installation package tells me it is 'corrupt'. So I tried to download and reinstall the application from the adobe website, but the computer already recognises that the app is installed. i.e. - I can't uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air.
    I contacted BBC iPlayer support and they were unable to help - directing me to your website. I have read several other discussion topics posted on this website but not found the solution I am looking for.
    Please can some help me to solve this problem, by helping me uninstall and reinstall Adobe Air for Mac?
    I am not very technical minded - for example - I don't know what log files are or how to find them - so please explain it as simply as possible.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Ryan

    Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
    What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
    So:
    a) Move iPlayer to trash.
    b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
    c) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
    d) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
    e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
    f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
    g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
    h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
    i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
    j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
    k) Relaunch iPlayer
    It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .
