Running previous versions of AIR apps in AIR 2.7.1 runtime

I'm unable to start and run any AIR apps built using previous SDKs in the latest AIR 2.7.1 release. Basically either the application will not start at all or will try and launch the window and close immediately. I'm using Flex 4.5.1 IDE and even updated the AIR SDK to 2.7.1 to build my app, changed the dicriptor version tag to 2.7 in the app.xml file as well but to no avail, Am I missing something or did Adobe drop the ball here!?

I'm running older apps with both 2.7.1 and the AIR 3 rc build.  It sounds like you're running into something specific to your system.  Do you have an example .air file (or project) you can send me ([email protected]) so I could take a look?
Thanks,
Chris

  • How to restore the previous version of an app?

    Hi,
    I would like to restore the previous version of an iphone APP. I hate the new version. I deleted the new version of the app on my Iphone 4 and also on Itunes. I use windows 7 pro. Is there a way to get the previous version of that app? I use Itunes 11, which is the newest version I believe. I have done several backups this year and last year, if that helps. But I am not sure if the app was backed up as well. I know where the back ups are store in my computer. I dont know much about Itunes, can someone help please?
    Thanks,
    Strupar

    If you have the older version in your recycle bin, or one of your backups, delete the current version of the .ipa file, then paste in a copy of the old one. In iTunes go to the apps section of your library and attempt to Get Info for the app in question. Normally the two versions will have slightly different file names so iTunes may ask you to locate the file, do so. On your device delete the copy of the app, then sync with iTunes. You'll need to disable all forms of automatic updating, and will lose any settings and data associated with the app.
    Hmm, offhand I can't recall if automatic updating in iOS 7 is optional. Check that first.

  • ITunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. How can I restore the previous version of that app?

    iTunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. Please advise if there is way to restore the previous version of that app, without losing the data in that app.
    Thanks

    Move the old file from the trash to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Mobile Applications/ folder.

  • Can I uninstall previous versions of Adobe Apps in my creative cloud and still use the current 2014 versions of the same apps.

    I want to stream line the amount of applications on my MAC. I currently have the CS6, CC, and CC2014 version of the Adobe applications. Can I uninstall the CS6 and CC versions and still run the CC2014 version without any issues?

    Jim Fournier yes you can uninstall the previous versions.  Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for additional details.

  • Is it possible to download a previous version of an app via itunes?

    Hi, when i try to download the app in my iphone it let me download the previous version but the wifi fails and the download gets cancelled.
    i cant download it with my data plan. the app is the elements: a visual exploration.
    thanks.

    I don't know your OS, but I'll assume Snow Leopard 10.6.8  In which case Photoshop CS6 would be the best especially if you have a cloud membership like the Photography Plan.
    Download Photoshop CS6 Mac here Download CS6 products
    Install and sign into it with your Adobe login.

  • AIR apps making AIR apps?

    I'm creating an AIR app that makes games.  Once a game is created, I'd like the user to be able to share it in some easy-to-use fashion.  Using nochump zip library, I'm able to export files to zip folder and rename it with a .air extension, but supposedly there is more to an AIR app than that.  Launching it throws this error:
    The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
    My guess is it's probably due to security issues.  Is there a way to get around this?

    An AIR file is more than just a zip. Some of the files need to be a specific order within the zip, and there needs to be a signature. Unless you want to reimplement ADT in actionscript, your best bet would probably be to use the NativeProcess API to call out to ADT to do the packaging for you.

  • Previous versions of CC apps still recognized, application folders and apps deleted

    Hi Adobe Friends!
    I recently (June 19) downloaded and installed the new 2014 versions of my Adobe CC apps.  I did not touch previous versions (previous CC) at the time.
    This is where I may have messed up.  Instead of using the uninstaller to remove the older versions (which I did try, however I had no luck.  It would get stuck after typing in my administrator password), I took it upon myself to just delete the folder (I am on a MacBook Pro with OS X Mavericks) and have long emptied the Trash (so getting those files back is out of the question).
    And with computers never being so simple, the Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Help apps still think I have the previous versions of my applications.
    Any recommendations?
    I am grateful for any help, thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    Good luck!

  • Can I restore previous version of an app from iTunes backup?

    I updated an app via wifi and don't like the new version (too many ads).
    I deleted it from my iPod Touch.
    Can I restore the old version of the app from iTunes?
    In iTunes I try to drag the app from the apps folder to my iPod but it springs back.

    Try:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

  • Premiere not listed under 'previous versions' of CC app

    I'm trying to install Premiere Pro CC 7.0 on my Mac, but the section of the Creative Cloud app that lists 'Previous Versions' does not include that program - it only includes Edge animate, Extension Manager, and Bridge. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Brian,
    Sorry that you can't see previous versions. That's frustrating.
    Try quitting Premiere Pro, then signing out of Creative Cloud, start Premiere Pro, then sign in to Creative Cloud. I hope that works: Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app
    Thanks,

  • How can I download a previous version of an app?

    I recently just downloaded the latest version of eBuddy, 5.2.0, and it is absolutely terrible. It doesn't give me all my messages, and it crashes every few seconds. I wish to revert back to 5.1.0 without deleting the information on my iPod as of current, such as notes, dates, other apps. Is there a possible way to solve this situation? It's really annoying, and I use eBuddy all the time, as it works best out of the other apps, even the one placed by WLM.
    Thank you.

    Unless you have saved an earlier version on your backup copy of your computer, then you cannot revert.

  • How do you uninstall previous versions of CC Apps?

    I am using the Mavericks OS. When I go to uninstall previous CC or 6 applications, I get a message that the OS is using them and I'm not allowed to touch them. Afraid I'm going ti end up with a mess of apps I no longer use and would like to regain the space. Any thoughts?

  • AIR app will not run on Win XP

    I craeted an AIR app for my company's sales team. I've passed it around and it works fine on most machines (mostly Dell laptops running Windows XP). I have one salesman who was able to run earlier versions of the app, but now opening the app does nothing. I can see it running in the background when I look at the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager. No one else has had this problem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the app and the AIR player (version 1.5.3.9130). Are there any Windows security settings he might have set that would prevent an AIR app from opening?

    I ran the install log and I'm including the contents to see if you can make any sense of it
    . The only thing that sticks out is a line "Application not located", which I highlighted below. Otherwise it looks like it installed
