Packaging for iOS is hanging at 57% Progress

I am trying to use the Flex Builder 4.6 trial on Windows 7 64 bit with a standard View application with only a Label component hello world test and when I run for testing on the device the Progress panel tells me Launching: Packaging helloworld for Apple iOS. this may take several minutes and it progresses to 57% right away and then just hangs there for over an hour. I didn't have this problem with FB 4.5.1 on a mac. Has anyone had this problem?

Just to add, the reason that it was failing for me was somethng to do with certificate.
the problem was that my boss gave me a distribution certificate and when I tried to build an Ad-Hoc version it was failing.
However, even when he gave me a developer certificate, I got the same problem. This was something to do with using a Mac to generate the certificate.
So in the end, my boss used openSSL only (A complete windows process, no mac) and it solved the problem.

Packaging for iOS app store takes 3 hours

I've seen a lot of complaints around the web (and on these forums) about how long it takes to package for iOS. However, these complaints are from people who lose patience and since the progress bar doesn't work they assume the packaging has somehow failed and the process is hanging. So the only help I've seen offered on this problem is that the person should read over the packaging documentation, ignore the progress bar, and be patient.
What I'm hoping is that someone actually has tips regarding reducing this time. I know the process is taking compiled AS3 bytecode and transforming it into iOS assembler (which understandbly isn't a fast process), so reducing the footprint of my AS3 code should result in a faster package time. Are there any good articles on keeping your AS3 bytecode to a minimum? Does the size my native extensions also hurt me? Are there any common "gotchas" to look for?

Cannot find lib when packaging for iOS

You can see the same question on StackOverflow here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11547515/cannot-find-lib-when-packaging-for-ios
Hi,
I am developping an Air Native Extension (ANE) in order to be able to use the burstly(1) ads on mobile devices.
As for my setup, I am using the FlashDevelop 4.0.4(2) and Adobe Air 3.3 (3). I'm using Flex 4.6.0 SDK. The project is setup on Windows7.
In order to work on iOS devices, Burstly requires a number of frameworks and librares (4)
I managed to write and compile the .a library for iOS. I also have the interface (actionscript code) that will be shared for Android and iOS compiled into a swc and a librairy.swf. All of this is successfully packaged into a .ane which is included in my project.
When compiling a .a library on MacOS, all the framework and library used don't seems to be packaged in the ".a". This is why I had to use Air 3.3, for the -platformsdk option(5).
Since I work on Windows, I followed the instruction in this post to get the iOS SDK (6).
Following (4) and (5), I made a platformConfig.xml file like this, which is packaged in the .ane
    <platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.1">
        <sdkVersion>4.2</sdkVersion>
        <linkerOptions>
            
            <option>-framework AssetsLibrary</option>
            <option>-framework AudioToolbox</option>
            <option>-framework AddressBook</option>
            <option>-framework AVFoundation</option>
            <option>-framework CFNetwork</option>
            <option>-framework CoreLocation</option>
            <option>-framework MapKit</option>
            <option>-framework MediaPlayer</option>
            <option>-framework MessageUI</option>
            <option>-framework OpenAL</option>
            <option>-framework OpenGLES</option>
            <option>-framework QuartzCore</option>
            <option>-framework StoreKit</option>
            <option>-framework SystemConfiguration</option>
            <option>-framework Foundation</option>
            <option>-framework CoreGraphics</option>
            <option>-libsqlite3</option>
            <option>-libxml2</option>
            <option>-libz</option>
        </linkerOptions>
    </platform>
and this is the line to compile the actuale .ane
    call "%FLEX_SDK%\bin\adt" -package -target ane ../release/burstlyadsextension.ane extension.xml -swc burstlyAds.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libBurstlyAds.a -platformoptions platformConfig.xml
Problem arises when I try to package the iOS app with ADT:
    call adt -package -target %TYPE%%TARGET% %OPTIONS% %SIGNING_OPTIONS% "%OUTPUT%" "%APP_XML%" %FILE_OR_DIR% -extdir lib/external/ -platformsdk ../Libraries/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/
this happens:
"ld: library not found for -libsqlite3
Compilation failed while executing : ld64"
frameworks seems to be added fine, but the dylib are not. I tried to add the line:
    <option>-L usr/lib/</option>
before including the lib, but I got this error instead:
"ld: warning: directory not found for option '-Lusr/lib/'
ld: library not found for -libsqlite3
Compilation failed while executing : ld64"
I tried to use the full path, other relative path, but no matter what path I put in the option, I always get a "warning: directory not found for option". Even "<option>-L ../</option>" give me this warning. The only thing that seems to work is "<option>-L /../</option>", but my .dylib obviousle are not there.
So my questions are: What did I do wrong? Any idead what else I could try? Even an explanation as to why it is not working would be helpful!

SMP 2.3 - Hybrid App Provisioning/Packaging for iOS

Hello,
Any idea/ procedure regarding SMP 2.3 Hybrid App provisioning for iOS, please share.
Thanks,
Angavai Elangovan

Hi Angavai,
Please take a look at this link to see if it meets your requirements. Like Midhum VP mentioned above, you will need to customize the template source code projects to add in your own Hybrid App files. But the end result is you will have an APK and IPA file with your Hybrid App already embedded.
Prepackaged Hybrid Apps
Thanks,
Andrew.

I am able to package the app with this command line however I am using different order for -storepass and -keystore. Can you please share your app's sources with me @[email protected] so that I can look into this issue?

Success of packaging for ios devices

I know there are many ways to package Flash apps so that they would work on IOS . However, are these still accepted by apple onto the app stores ? If not , what is the best way to get existing Flash / AS3 apps onto apple iTunes app stores - importing into something like HaXe, or just starting afresh with objective c and importing the animations woth some other package ?I know there have been previous posts but I would be grateful if anyone knew the latest on this as it seems to have varied over the years ...?

Feature Request for AIR 2.5 Packager for iOS

1st please include the AVM2 - other VMs are being allowed, it may be possible that your VM will be allowed as well (if it doesn't load remote code).
2nd - a publish mode that does direct to iOS publishing/testing - like on Android devices. This could be achieved with a publish mode that creates a decoupled AIR app shim that can receive an ABC binary blob (a swf essentially) that we can sync with iTunes (and have running/ ready to receive binary data from Flash CS5) for development and testing purposes.
3rd - even if Apple will not allow #1 above, still produce #2. ;-)

I'd like fast app testing, like is in GameSalad, but in the meantime I work with Flash in a way that's reasonably quick, at least if you're a Mac user:
1. I publish the ipa file, and I have ipa set to open in StuffitExpander.
2. Double click on the ipa, and you get a Payload folder with the app inside.
3. Drag the app straight to any of your connected devices in the Organizer window of Xcode. No need to even delete the previous build.
Between Test Movie and the ability to quickly get things onto the devices, without the documented iTunes sync approach, I often go through dozens of test builds a day.

NullPointerException when exporting for iOS

I have an AIR for iOS project that runs fine in the simulator, but when I try to export a release build and click on 'finish', then it starts compiling and after a minute or two, i get a

the logfile doesn't capture anything.
Anyone an idea what could cause this error?
I compiled other projects successfully for iOS.

I used to get NullPointerExceptions all the time when packaging for iOS. The only approach that worked for me was packaging from command line (adt) with Flash Builder closed.

AIR for iOS, are all features working? Need to quote a complex project and want to make sure...

Hi,
I am quoting for a large RIA to be exported as an iOS app, using features such as consuming webservices in https, etc.
My question is:
- Do all standard AIR features work when packaging for iOS? Can I consume data on the internet? store local data? save photos? access the camera? etc.
- What is notoriously not working?
Thank you very much
namaste
Filippo

Those things you mentioned should work. The main thing that does not work is you can't load an external swf that has code in it, that's not allowed.

Flex Mobile for iOS - debugging on device

Hello,
Is it possible to provide self-made certificates for packaging for iOS like Android allows?
Thank you.

oooooh nooooo
you have to pay Apple first
and then request a certificate and provisioning file
and then try and figure out how to convert the certificate to a .p12 file
and cross your fingers and hope they will allow it in their store
and you have to own a mac, although there are some convoluted ways to get a certificate using a pc you still cant get onto the store without a mac

Weird acting of Socket class while build for iOS device

Hello,
It's kind of weird and frustrating using Socket class to build package for iOS device (iPad in my case) - I do have the certificates files (P12, Provisioning) and I can build a package from FB4.5.1 too, but if I build the package as 'Fast' mode through 'Run Configuration' wizard the Socket works okay, but if I package with 'Standard' mode it never works - even I tested both the modes in same device! Any suggestions/idea - I couldn't able figure out why it's acting strange in different modes!
Thank you.

This is still become ridiculous - I've read in a document online that non-working socket has bug-fix with AIR 2.7, I was using 2.6 previously - so I downloaded the latest AIR 3.0 SDK and rebuild the project - yet its not working! This is ridiculous!

Adobe AIR 3.4 for iOS - Compiler stalls/hangs & never creates ipa

     So, I've run into a bit of a roadblock. I'm currently trying to package an iOS app that contains an ANE (iAd), SWC (tweener), and external AS file using Flash CS6. I've successfully packaged this app for Android as well as Blackberry, but iOS seems to be giving me a run for my money.
     I've linked to the necessary external files as I did with Android. Same exact process that I've done at least 20 times with existing apps (with the exception of the SWC and External AS file). When I preview the swf, the swf compiles and plays perfectly fine. As it should. When I go to publish any type of ipa file, it initializes, creates the temp files/folders and then hangs. It never completely compiles the ipa file. I let it attempt to compile through several attempts, the longest being 30mins, before cancelling. I was wondering if anybody else is coming across this issue. Google searches didnt help much.
I've tried this with AIR 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, none worked.
The compiled file size on Android is 1.6mb, so the external files aren't ridiculously huge.
I tried moving all external files into the root of the flash file, didnt help.
I attempted a command line package - same thing. Started compiling and then seemed to freeze
     My last successful ipa compiled was 8/22. I'm not sure what the heck happened between now and then, or what the issue could be. No errors or warnings appear at any point throughout every test/attempt I've done. Running out of options. I appreciate any guidance/help that could be provided.

Ok, after much testing... I've pinpointed a potential problem. My external AS file is a dictonary word list of about 172k words written into an array. I had no problem compiling for Android or Blackberry, but the iOS packager doesn't seem to like it.
I originally had it loading from an external text file and creating the array at runtime, but I didn't like the way it functioned/processed. Much faster with a pre-made & sorted external AS file --
Once I removed the as file and created a very small array in place of it, Flash compiled the ipa fine.
With that said... is there any type of work around that doesnt involve loading and processing an external text file at runtime?
Or any other ideas I can attempt to make this thing work?

Uploading AIR for IOS thru Application Loader I get the following error - The package does not contain an Info.plist.

I'm publishing an .fla in AIR for IOS.
I'm in CC 2014 so first I need to know which AIR should I publish in?
newest is AIR 14.0.0.178 for IOS
IOS deployment type is App Store
publishes with no error.
I see the following files included .swf and app.xml
I convert the .ipa to a zip file
Upload that thru the Application Loader I get the following error
The package does not contain an Info.plist.
Where is the infoplist for this and do I convert the .ipa and the info to a zip file?
I converted the .ipa to a .zip and the intoplist file is NOT THERE how do I generate this?
Any help here?

Ok this is becoming very very frustrating as I have been at this for hours now. So the only way to explain this is to write what I did step by step as I have to be doing something wrong, just to recap:
I was publishing from Flash CC 2014 using AIR 14.0 and getting Digital Certificate is not valid message.
Was instructed to download new AIR 17 , I did this installed into Flash and used to publish.
I used my previous p12, app ID and distribution certificates all generated properly.
The file worked ONCE but I got an app ID error ( I understood I used the wrong app ID)
I changed it to the right app ID and the very next time and after 10 attempts I got the same error Digital Certificate is not valid
SO I then downloaded AIR 16.0
RE DID ALL MY CERTIFICATES AND P12'S
went to publish and I STILL GET THE SAME MESSAGE Digital Certificate is not valid

How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

Hi Guys,
Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
Thanks,

Hi Sir,
Thanks for your reply.
But in that case user need to download 2 applications right. I need user to download my parent application created using Flash and that package contain one more ipa created using Xcode, so from my parent app only user should able to open my 2nd app. Is there any way to do that?
Ps: I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.

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!
Getting the same error.
