Reduce publishing time for Air iOS apps?

Hi,
Currently it's taking my machine up to 4 minutes to publish an Air iOS app.
Are there any settings or hacks I could try to reduce the time?
I'm using Flash CS 6 + AIR SDK 16 on a Windows 8.1 laptop.
Stats:
- Intel Pentium Prozessor (1,5 GHz, Intel HD Graphics, Microsoft Windows 8, 64-bit)
- 4 GB DDR3-RAM
- 500 GB Hybrid-SSHD-Festplatte with 8 GB SSD
Thanks for any tips.

Hi,
I'm really interested in this feature as well. Have spent a bit of time attempting to get one running through a native extension but it doesn't appear to work. I believe something in the AIR build process is blocking the components required. I've tried several methods so far:
packaging the appex with an ANE
packaging the appex with the AIR container app
using a class instead of a storyboard
But nothing seems to be working. This is even before the app extension is doing anything. My guess is that the plist file specifying the app extension isn't correctly being included in the application but I have no idea how to update it to test.

IOS 8 extensions feature for Air iOS apps?

Hi,
Since iOS 8 it's possible to add extensions to iOS apps. (App Extensions - Apple Developer)
Will that feature come to Adobe Air?
Thanks

Best practice for universal iOS app? swf or swc?

Hi,
I'm trying to map out a framework for my assets which helps keep the memory load low at runtime for an iOS universal app and ran across the following article regarding swc files.
http://www.flashrealtime.com/compiling-big-air-swf-to-ios/
However, it's unclear as to how this method would be beneficial from a memory standpoint. Don't the files still get loaded at runtime?
Or should I be looking at swf files with the code stripped out and referenced from the main swf in the ipa? (sounds like more work!)
Please help educate a noob!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Dave!
What I'm trying to figure out is the best way to achieve a fast load time for a universal app and was hoping I'd be able to instantiate only the necessary swc files as needed along with their appropriately linked classes. (swc#1 for iPhone 3G bitmaps and MovieClips, swc#2 for iPhone4S, etc...) Seems this isn't possible now.
Anyone have some favorite they can share for fast app loads?
Thoughts on universal apps in general? I'm thinking maybe this isn't a good path anymore considering the beefy high-res screen on the new iPad...

Debug Air iOS app on device with Flash CS6?

Hi,
Is it possible to debug an Air iOS app on device to get all the trace() messages?
I'm using Flash CS6 with the AIR SDK 16.
Thanks

Go to publish settings:
- Select Quick publishing for device debugging and select your LAN/WIFI adapter IP from the list
- Install IPA to your device
- In Flash CS6 go to Debug panel -> Begin Remote Debug Session > ActionScript 3.0
You will see:
Waiting for Player to connect...
in the output panel
Now launch your application on your device. Be sure that you in the same WiFi network with your desktop. If Flash CS6 can't connect to the device and still waiting for it - try to disable firewall.

Load an interactive slide into an AIR iOS app. Is it possible?

HI,
Imagine having a Flash app which could dynamically load an external interactiveSlide.swf with which you could interact with. You could then unload/remove the interactiveSlide.swf.
I'm wanting to create a similar model for iOS.
So I create my AIR iOS app that can dynamically load external content. My question is does anyone have any ideas how I could package the interactiveSlide so it could be loaded by the AIR/iOS app?
.swf obviously wouldn't work.
Thanks,
Mark

HI Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
Thanks

Open local PDF inside Air iOS app

I am developing an AIR for iOS app for the iPad. My client would like the app to open a local PDF file within the app, rather than launching an external app (such as Adobe Reader). This is to give a seamless experience when using the app. I've seen that distriqt.com produce the 'PDF Reader' Native Extension based on www.vfr.org. VFR appears to have a series of interface controls that open along with the PDF, which I don't require. I emailed Distriqt a week ago to clarify, and have had no response.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to open a PDF inside an AIR iOS app?

I've managed to load a PDF successfully inside my AIR iOS app, using the code from http://thatsthaway.wordpress.com/201...1/#comment-102.
However, I've just come across a weird feature / bug when viewing a PDF using stagewebview. I have a PDF that contains several internal hyperlinks, each navigating to a page within the same PDF document. If I select any of the hyperlinks, they do jump to the intended pages. However, if I reselect the same hyperlink again, it no longer works. If I select a different hyperlink, and then reselect a previous link, it will then work, but if I select the same hyperlink twice in a row, without selecting a different hyperlink in between, the link fails to work. The PDF hyperlinks all work ok outside of my app, on both Windows desktop and an iPad, just not inside of the AIR app.
Any ideas?

Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?

Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?
I am using iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3, with a development certificate.
With Adobe AIR SDK 16.0.0.283 and now with 17.0.0.93, after compiling the app (whether in release mode or debug mode), before the app getTimer() can ever reach 999 milliseconds the app will crash. No matter what code I have, it is just crashing before the runtime can ever reach the first second.
Anybody else having this kind of behavior?

Chris,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have found the way to reproduce. It is about interfaces, and when I try to call a method through an interface the app crashes. I think that it is related to having an interface with many parameters. I have logged the bug here:
Bug#3935199 - iOS App crashes when calling an objects method through interface

AIR iOS app as Remote controller

Hi,
Is it possible to build an AIR iOS app as a remote controller for an html based website?
If it is what will be the direction to take?. I have been looking at the SocketServer API but is not clear to me that this is the answer.
Any help or advise will be appreciated

Sending Tweets via Adobe AIR iOS Apps

Heya everyone.
Is there a way that I can implement a tweet function into an AIR iOS app? I'm currently developing it in Flash Professional Actionscript 3. I understand that there's a method of doing it in Flex, but I have no knowledge in that area.
Thanks .

hey kglad, thanks for your help. things are a little clearer now.
I had a look at the REST API Resources, and dug out the "POST statuses/update_with_media" which requires authentication. So I shall proceed with using tweetr's oAuth class.
I've chosen to make the authentication a PINless one, since I'm currently dealin with an iPhone app, and I do not wish to disturb the user with a browser opening up everytime whenever an authentication is needed.
I had a look through tweetr's pinless authentication tutorial and found this piece of code:
oauth = new OAuth();
oauth.consumerKey = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY";
oauth.consumerSecret = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET";
oauth.callbackURL = "http://your.callback.url";
oauth.pinlessAuth = true;
oauth.addEventListener(OAuthEvent.COMPLETE, handleOAuthEvent);
oauth.addEventListener(OAuthEvent.ERROR, handleOAuthEvent);
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(50,50, 780, 500);
htmlLoader = HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(true, null, true, rect);
oauth.htmlLoader = htmlLoader;
oauth.getAuthorizationRequest();
I'm guessing the above code goes into the constructor? Or into a private function itself where it'll be called when a button is pressed or something.
Another question is, what is a request URL? It seems like the default address (according to my application details in dev.twitter.com) is http://api.twitter.com/1/. But that doesn't seem right at all.
Cheers

AIR iOS app - how much memory consumption is too much?

Hi All,
I have a Flex-based AIR app that runs fine on Android.
On iOS (iPhone 4) it freezes after it's been running for a while, and I suspect that the problem is that the app is consuming too much memory.
I'm looking at System.totalMemoryNumber, and it is reporting that the app is using between 17 and 23 MB right before it freezes.
Is this a lot for an iOS app?
Is there a better way for me to examine/research/diagnose this? I've done a lot of searching and it doesn't appear that AIR apps get any warning from iOS that memory is getting low...
Thanks in advance!
Douglas

Hi All,
I'm answering at least part of my own question...
I created a test app that added 10K characters to a string on each enterFrame, then ran it until it crashed. It seems to consistently get up to around 175 MB (as reported by System.totalMemoryNumber) before it crashes.
This happened both with and without multiple other apps running in the background.
As mentioned above, this is on an iPhone 4.
So it appears that my current problem isn't caused by excessive memory consumption.

How do you get USB debugging for AIR iOS working?

How do you get USB debugging for AIR iOS working?
Here is my current configuration:
Flash Builder 4.6
Flex 4.6.0 (build 23201) with AIR 3.3 Beta and Flash 11.3 Beta playerglobal.swc (both merged in to the current Flex build)
Flex 4.6 release: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex-sdk-download.html
AIR 11.3 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-3/
Flash Player 11.3 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-3.html
I read through the Flash Player 11.3 and AIR 3.3 release notes (http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/shared/air3-3_flashplayer11-3 _p1_releasenotes.pdf) and this is all that is stated:
USB debugging for AIR iOS iOS developer can now connect directly? to the desktop via USB to debug mobile applications.
Every other feature seems to have a description of how to accomplish it other than USB debugging for AIR iOS.
Anyone else get this working?
The main reason I want to get this working is because our IT department is very strict on our firewalls and it is relatively hard to open the required ports to debug on our own devices through the network.

I've found one way of doing it using command-line on Windows. I'm sure someone will make it easier by building it into something like a FlashDevelop template soon.
Steps are...
1. Add a "-listen 7936" param to the packager. Something like, "adt -package -target -debug-interpreter .... -listen 7936". Install IPA on device.
2. Find out the handle of your iOS device by running "lib\aot\idb\idb -devices". In my case it is "2". Will look something like...
List of attached devices
Handle UUID
2 {your UUID here}
3. Forward the local_port to the remote_port for the device_handle. Something like "lib\aot\idb\idb -forward 7936 7936 2".
4. Start Flash Debugger in another command prompt from your FlexSDK directory. Something like "flexsdk\bin\fdb -p 7936".
5. Run your app.
6. Type the "(fdb) run" command in the debug command line.
7. May need to type "(fdb) continue".
Hope that helps.

HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

I can't enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting.
When I off data for specific application and go to other option it automatic on all application
Any one can help

SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
Here's the solution:
Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.
From Malaysia, with love.

How to reduce the time for each clips up to 0,04 seconds?

Hi, I'm trying to realize my first time laps. I've need to reduce the time for each clips up to 0,04 seconds, but it seems that the minimum time is 0,1 second. There's a solution?

And use a zip file. Many people can't open RARs.

When I try to use an app I get redirected to yahoo search for adobepass.ios.app

When I try to use the BTN2GO APP, I get redirected to the yahoo search engine to search for adobepass.ios.app.
I was trying to login using my cable providers email account.
Can someone help me with this issue?

If you'll check the reviews for the recent (October 3) update, you'll see that this is a widely reported bug in the latest version of the app. As far as I can tell, there's nothing to do but contact the developers and let them know what's going on (since they may never see the Apple reviews).
