Recent air sdk (air 4.0 beta) is still not support xxhdpi

my application is set applicationDPI = '320'. and is working well in hdpi, xhdpi etc devices...
but new devices like galaxy S4 is 1920x1080 xxhdpi.
air 3.9, and this 4.0 version is not support that dpi, then my app layout is still broken.
this bug is fixed on Apache Flex SDK. so I used that sdk. but i want official adobe air sdk. is have adobe plan of resolving this?..

I agree - this is not working for me either. Here are more details:
I'm having a similar issue where an iPad Mini w/ Retina display appears to be a low res deivce:
Apache SDK 4.12
FlashBuilder 4.7
.ipa compiled on both Mac and PC
tried pointing to an iOS 5.1 SDK during compile on both Mac and PC

Adobe AIR SDK (3.4.0.2710) Captive Runtime Not Updated

Hi,
I just downloaded the latest Adobe AIR SDK 3.4.0.2710. Looking at \runtimes\air-captive\win\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR.dll it still says it is 3.4.2540. Will the captive runtime be updated to 3.4.2710?
Thanks,
John

Just retried the SDK download at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html and it looks like the runtime has been updated to 3.4.2710. All good now.

AIR 3.9.1030 Still Not Support iOS 7 Icons

Hi,
After all the discussion in the beta and here about this, it still looks like to me that the latest released build STILL does not support the new icon sizes 76x76, 120x120, & 152x152. If you look at the AIR_Descriptor.3.9.xsd schema file, it clearly is missing these definitions, and as a result, people using IDE's like Intellij won't be able to compile there project because it will error out. I thought this was fixed?

Hi
Could you use AIR 3.9 release AIR SDK from   http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html try again? following SDK/templates/air/descriptor-template.xml file 76x76, 120x120, & 152x152. had suppored.
Please refer to revelant tag in /descriptor-template.xml file.

On which platforms is Java6 SDK still not supported?

Is there some up-to-date document that gives an overview of which version of Java is available where? It seems Java5 has reached its end of service life, but then, people keep telling me that some Mac/Apple platforms still do not have Java6 available on them - which would mean that any project that should run an as many platforms as possible would still be compatible with Java5.
So does anyone know the facts on Java6 support on Macs and is there some place where one can keep track of which version is compatible with what platform?

johann_p wrote:
Unfortunately these pages do not explicitly state where Java6 is NOT supported.It's far easier to state where it IS supported.
So unless one has a real good knowledge of Apple platforms one is still a bit in the dark.I'm not a "Mac Guy", but the following passage seemed pretty clear to me:
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 delivers improved reliability and compatibility for Java SE 6, J2SE 5.0 and J2SE 1.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.4 and later. The release updates Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_07, J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_16, and J2SE 1.4.2 to 1.4.2_18.
And so on.
If the FAQ I found is up-to-date, the OS still comes with Java5 initially so that is rather sad. Overall Apples support for Java seems to be rather disappointing."Mac OS X is the only major consumer operating system that comes complete with a fully configured and ready-to-use Java runtime and development environment."

Error Upgrading to AIR SDK 3.5 in FlashBuilder 4.7

Whenever I try to upgrade to AIR SDK 3.5 distribution (by overlying it over AIRSDK) using the following instructions I get an exception (below) when I try to start up FlashBuilder 4.7.
Am I missing a step? A SDK upgrade tool would be a nice feature.
Installation Instructions
Flash Builder 4.7
Note:
Flash Builder 4.7 Beta 2 includes AIR 3.4 SDK with ASC 2.0 Preview 3.
All Flash Builder 4.7 ActionScript projects now use ASC 2.0 by default.
To manually apply a later preview of AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 to a Flash Builder 4.7 Beta 2 release, unzip the AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 distribution
over the captive version of the AIR SDK in Flash Builder 4.7.
The default locations of the AIR SDK in FB 4.7 Beta 2 are outlined below:
Mac OSX: /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.348297/AIRSDK
Windows 7 (64-Bit): C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64
Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.348297\AIRSDK
Note: The distribution of the AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 is for pure-ActionScript development only. It should not be combined with an existing Flex
SDK. To update a Flex SDK with a later version of the AIR SDK, use a standard distribution that does not include ASC 2.0. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html.
On Mac OSX, be mindful that copy operations clobber the contents of the destination - you can merge folders using the ditto command o

Now that there are pre-combined distributions of AIR 3.5 SDK with ASC 2.0 Preview 4,
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/asc2/
...you could avoid attempting an overlay. Try:
1. Closing FB 4.7.
2. Backing up FB 4.7's old AIRSDK folder by renaming it to something else.
3. Unzipping the pre-combined AIR 3.5 SDK with ASC 2.0 Preview 4 and putting it in place of the old AIRSDK folder with the exact name.
4. Starting FB 4.7.
FB 4.7 does plan to offer in-tool upgrades to official AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 distributions.

Performance issue on iPad4 with AIR SDK 3.9

Hi!
I have an app that I've created with Flex SDK 4.6.0. The first time I've compiled the app with AIR SDK 3.1 and it runs with good performance on iPad4 (and little bit slow on oPad2). Then I've upgrated the AIR SDK to the version 3.9 and suddenly my app starts to run slow (but on iPad2 performance is good)
Is it any known problem with AIR SDK 3.9 on iPad4? Or on iOS 6.1?
Should I downgrade the AIR SDK back to 3.1 to get good performance on iPad4?
Thanks in advance
UPD: I've downgraded the AIR SDK to 3.1 and my app get back the good performance! (But there's some strange bugs)

Hi Nimit!
1. I've upgraded AIR SDK to 4.0 beta and the problem is gone away.
2. Unfortunately I'm not sure I can share my app - it's not in the policy of the company I'm working for. I'll check it out with my boss
Than you,
Olga

AIR SDK 3.6 Could not resolve component

I have Flash Builder 4.6 and the AIR SDK version is 3.5, Today i update the AIR SDK version to 3.6, However when i debug the appliction, the Flash Builder popup a error for "Could not resolve <s:ViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation." .
I have downloaded AIR SDK3.6 from here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

Hi Jack,
Please download AIR SDK from a small note below on http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
for flex users.
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler.
Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
Thanks,

File.upload on Air SDK for iOS devices failed to send http request to server.

I am trying to use ActionScript's File.upload to upload a file on Air SDK for iOS8 environment, but the File.upload does not work properly. No handler about the file upload is executed after File.upload is invoked, and no exception is caught. When I check the network traffic of the server side, I found that no http request even hit the server after File.upload is executed. The code snippet here is very simple.
private var file:File;
private var dir:File;
//This method is executed to create a file and upload it when the Upload Button is pressed.
protected function OnUploadButtonPressed(event:MouseEvent):void{
var str:String = 'This is test';
var imageBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for ( var i:int = 0; i < str.length; i++ ) {
imageBytes.writeByte( str.charCodeAt(i) );
try{
dir = File.applicationStorageDirectory
var now:Date = new Date();
var filename:String = "test" + now.seconds + now.milliseconds + ".txt";
file = dir.resolvePath( filename );
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open( file, FileMode.WRITE );
stream.writeBytes( imageBytes );
stream.close();
file.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, uploadComplete );
file.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError );
file.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError );
file.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, someError);
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
file.upload( new URLRequest("http://10.60.99.31/MyPath/fileUploadTest.do"));//This line does not work. No handler is executed. No http request hit the server side.
} catch( e:Error ) {
trace( e );
//Complete Handler
private function uploadComplete( event:Event ):void
trace( "Upload successful." );
//IOError handler
private function ioError( error:IOErrorEvent ):void
trace( "Upload failed: " + error.text );
//SecurityError handler
private function securityError(error:SecurityErrorEvent):void{
trace( "Security error:" + error.text );
//Other handler
private function someError(error:ErrorEvent):void{
trace("some error" + error.text);
//Progress handler
private function onProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void{
trace("progressHandler");
When executed on Air Simulator, it works fine as expected, and the file is successfully uploaded to the server. But When executed on iOS devices(in my case, iPad), as I explain early, no handler about the file upload is executed, and no the http request even hit the server. So I think the problem may be in the client side. It seems that the Air SDK for iOS just failed to send the http request for some reason.
To make my problem more clear, I list my environment below:
Development Environment: Windows7 (64bit) / Mac os 10.9.4 (Tested on OS platforms.)
IDE: Flash Builder 4.7
Air SDK: 3.8 / 16.0.0 (After I updated to the lastest Air SDK 16.0.0 , the problem still exists.)
Application Server: Tomcat7 + Spring
Target OS: iOS 8
I have been struggling for this for days. So I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bluewindice ,
As you have quoted ( ActionScript's File.upload does not work on Air SDK for iOS devices ) , this issue has been replicated at our end, and our team will be working on it.
Thanks,

AIR SDK 17 (BETA) is not working with Flash CS6

Hi,
The latest AIR SDK 17 is not working with Flash CS6.
I tried to publish and install an iOS app to my connected device via USB but I always get an error "Check if iTunes is installed".
The latest stable AIR SDK 16 is working fine, and yes, iTunes is installed on my PC.
DETAILS:
- Flash CS6
- AIR SDK 17
- System: Windows 8,1
- iPodTouch with iOS 8.1
REPRODUCE:
Open new AIR iOS template and publish/install it to a USB connected iOS 8.1 device.
Anyone else got that error?

I was getting this intermittently. Not a super problem. A remove and install in iTunes gets it loaded (after you tell ITunes where it is).

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Why reloading pure asset SWF with AIR sdk 3.6+ doesn't work?

Hi, I posted this in the AIR beta channel, but I think it suits better here... I'm sorry for double posting.
Hi,
I have a game targeting iOS using AIR sdk that needs to load many swf assets from the disk (packaged with the game). When using AIR sdk 3.5, everything runs just fine. When upgrading the sdk to 3.6 or later (-swf-version=19, 20, 21), we ran into the following problems:
1) The packaging time (making the ipa file for iOS) passes from 15 minutes to 40+ minutes.
2) The game can't load any swf twice (ie. reload a swf).
The first problem is not a big deal. We only have to wait a little bit more. Our guess is that is has to do with new feature introduced by the sdk 3.6, which will go through all packaged secondary swfs and remove the code from it, and since we have lot of swf assets, it takes more time.
The second problem is way more serious, as I have to be able to reload assets according to player's action. Since we have a ton of assets, I can't keep them all in the memory as we could quickly run out of memory.
I know that there's a documented limitation of sdk 3.6 which states:
In AIR apps on iOS running in AOT mode there is a problem when a SWF is reloaded. Therefore reloading a SWF will not be allowed for AIR apps for iOS in AOT mode and attempting to do so will result in following error:
Error 3764: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system
It also says that "Reloading of pure asset SWFs will work with AIR 3.7". However, that's not true, since all my assets are pure asset SWF without any code inside. It won't work, even with AIR 3.8.
While searching on the internet, I came across a forum post that says that the only way to know if a swf is a pure asset swf, is by using swfdump.exe, and searching for the DoABC2 tag. I did it, and effectively, DoABC2 tag was there, but empty.
So my first observation is that:
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.5
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can't be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.6+
It seems to me that AIR SDK 3.6+ doesn't care if the tag is empty or not. If it is there, then it's not ok.
Then I wanted to know why my SWFs have this empty tag. After lot of tests, it turns out that it is because I am using jsfl to automate the export of assets from a FLA file. And there comes my second observation:
- When exporting a swf without code from Flash IDE (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), there's no empty DoABC2 tag.
- When exporting a swf from the Flash IDE's library (right click on the library Movieclip -> Export Flash movie...), empty DoABC2 tag is automatically inserted.
Unfortunately, my jsfl script uses thee same Library export functionality, and it produces the same "contaminated" swf. Why doesn't it produce the same SWF from both ways of export? I have no idea.
In the perfect world, the AIR SDK would not only look for the DoABC2 tag, but it should check whether if there's code inside. Also, Flash should use the same export process disregarding if it is being called from the IDE or the Library, and not inserting empty DoABC2 tag when there's no code.
As for now, I can't find any workaround to solve my problem. That means that I'm stuck with swf-version=18, and I can't benefit from all the cool features such as rectangle textures, new Context3DTextureFormat etc.
If anyone has a solution, or simply pointing out what I'm doing wrong here, please share it.
Thanks for reading.
Iojeirg

Hi makc3d,
Thanks for the response. After all that time I started losing hope.
I would not say that the abvious solution is to remove the tag. I think it should not be put there in the first place if there's no code at all. Moreover, this only happens when exporting a MC from the Library, and it works just fine when exporting normally (publish). It seems more like a bug than an expected behaviour.
Also, AIR should check for actual code in this tag instead of relying only on the tag itself.
Your solution is a nice workaround, and I will certainly try that out. But as I said, it will not fix the original bug, it will only patch it later on in the process.

Does the new AIR SDK support iOS 64-bit for Flex Developers?

I saw that the new AIR SDK(December 18, 2014) has supported iOS 64-bit, but it was only supported in the new compiler. See this:
Please note that support for creating universal IPA binaries will only be available in the new compiler. The legacy compiler is not (and will not be)
compatible with iOS 64-bit. Because of this, it will be removed with version 16 of the AIR SDK. To ensure that Adobe as well as third party tools
are able to work with this AIR SDK, the -useLegacyAOT option will continue to exist, but will be internally mapped to the new compiler.
AFAIK, the Flex uses the old compiler and AIR SDK for Flex Developers doesn't include ActionScript 2.0 Compiler. As a Flex developer, what shall I do?

Hi,
I guess, you might be packaging IPA on windows machine. Please try latest beta at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html which has iOS64 support on Windows machine as well.
Thanks

AIR SDK vs. AIR Runtime (from the download page)

On the AIR 2 Beta download pag, I'm not sure what's the difference between the AIR SDK and the AIR Runtime.
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html
Do I need to download both? I know I need the AIR SDK to add it to my Flex SDK in Eclipse, but what's the Runtime and do I need to download that?

AIR SDK is for developers. So if you want to create an application using Flash Builder, you need to download that SDK and overlay it in your FB.
AIR Runtime is for end users. If somebody wants to use an AIR application, he/she first needs to download and install AIR Runtime (and then the AIR application can be installed).
Hope that clarifies.

Flex SDK or air sdk

hi iam new to flex
iam using Adobe flash builder 4.6 when i open the application.xml file i see this
xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.9"
is the the final sdk version or not if not what should i dowanlod the air sdk or flex sdk and what version plz
thanx

You can overlay newer versions of the AIR SDK over most Flex SDKs. Adobe's latest version of Flex is 4.6 which shipped back in 2011, IIRC. Apache Flex just shipped 4.13.0 and folks have definitely used it with the most recent AIR SDKs.
