Testing iOS apps made in AIR 3.0

im wondering if theres a way to open a swf of an iOS app in device central, i cant find a device in the list that supports it, it says that it uses flash player 11, but the list of devices wont go futher than flash player 10.2, im using cs5.5, so how can i test my app without having to sync it everytime?, i really wish i could use it in device central

If you do a test movie, it's testing in ADT, and that might be good enough.
You can do faster device testing by unzipping the IPA file, and then drag the Payload/app file onto your device in the Organizer window of Xcode. That saves a lot of time.
Or you can use tools like this one:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/betabuilder-for-ios-apps/id415348946?mt=12
It can take the IPA file build a set of files that you put onto your server, and then just email the URL to your devices. You only have to view the web page in Safari on the iPhone or iPad, and touch the link, and the app gets installed straight to the device.
It's the same trick that TestFlight.com uses, but you can have the files on your own server, and not have to sign up with someone else's service.

IOS App made in AIR - Link to other iTunes apps

Hi, I need a code to allow my application to link users to my developer channel on the App Store... just tapping a button.
What's the procedure in Flash CS 5.5 with AIR 2,6 ????
Please help me!
Thank you
Brandon

1. navigateToURL("http://itunes.com/apps/developername")
2. use a StageWebView and do swv.loadString("<a href='itms://itunes.com/apps/developername'>My Apps</a>")
Both of the approches above are not working for you?
What happens if you go to Safari on iPhone and type "http://itunes.com/apps/developername"? Does this open AppStore on iPhone?

Need Help testing iOS app created in Flash Pro Cs5.5

I've followed several instructions on how to develop a simple iOS app. I've managed to go all the way through and Publish + create the .ipa. I'm able to then add the file to my iTunes library, but when I then try to add it to my iPod Touch (2nd Generation) I get the following error:
The app "XXXXXX" was not installed on the iPod "XXXXX's Ipod" because it is not compatible with this iPod.
I've even tried it with a simple "Hello World!" app but I get the same error.
I'm using Flash Pro Cs5.5 on a Windows PC.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem with my iphone 3G. I tried publishing the exact same simple flash app to my iphone, which I already previously tested succesfully, after having downloaded flash 5.5, and now I get the following message (which, I believe, is identical to yours kinant87) :
"The app "Main" was not installed on the iPhone "Norgaard" because it is not compatible with this iPhone."
I was trying to make another small app, when I got this problem, which is why I went back to re-test the app I knew was working!
I've reinstalled all my apple certificates, and also tried using flash builder 4.5, with the same result.
I also have not jail broken my phone, and was starting to think perhaps the iPhone 3G was no longer supported?

Unable to test iOS app on iPad with Flash Builder 4.7 OSX Yosemite

After upgrading to OSX Yosemite, i'm unable to test my iOS app on my device.
Compilation and packaging works as expected but app is never installed on my device connected trough USB.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks

I've found the solution on another post (Re: Run/Debug on a device with Flash Builder 4.7 on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and iOS7) having app installation problem on Mavericks.
Disable your device WiFi and install your application from Flash Builder. Then enable your device wifi. It work for me.
Thanks

Upgrade an iOS app made in Flash CS5 to Flash CS5.5

Hi, I developed an App and I published it on the Apple App Store about a month ago, when I was still using Adobe Flash CS5.
Now I bought the latest version of Adobe Flash, the CS5.5 and I want to upgrade my exiting app with the Retina Display support.
The problem is that when I try to upload my IPA into Application Loader, it gives me a strange error... it says that I can't upgrade my app because I'm using an higher mininumOSVersion......in fact Flash CS5 has got a 3.0/3.2 minum and the CS5.5 4.0/4.2........How can I change them and upgrade my app???
Please, help me it's for an important company...
bye and thanks
Brandon

Here is my understanding of the updating rules for iOS apps. Once you publish an app targeting a specific OS, any further update to that app must target that OS. Since Flash CS5.5 only targets 2.6 and later, which has a dependency on iOS 4 or later, you are as you discovered stuck. I think you solution is to create a new version, "My Awesome App HD" and then publish via CS5.5 to get the performance and Retina support you want.

Free Apple Developper account and ß testing iOS app?

Hi,
I have a free Apple Developper account for now and I plan to develop a draft app for iOS. So not for iTunes distribution (yet).
I have 2 questions:
1°
Do I’ll need to have a payed account (= join the iOS Developer Program and pay the $99) to develop beta apps that would only be installed for test on the 3 iPhones from my family?
2°
It seems that I would need that account to do iOS Push (as I should need upload APNS certificate and password)...
I’m not a developper but I’d need to develop a draft app, a mock-up.
Will it be possible to do it with my free developper account?
Thanks for your answers
Eric

Too bad…
Apple shouldn't charge for beta testing on draft apps.
For distribution, yes. But for development, it's not fair…

AIR 14 resetting iOS apps?

Hi,
Since updating my iOS app to use AIR 14, I've been hearing reports that the installation overwrites the existing (shared object) data? I recall this happened with another update around 3.6 and was wondering if it is a known issue?
Users are also reporting that the app has closed itself down if they leave it and then return to it, which didn't happen previously.

Hello,
We are not able to reproduce the problem updating application from King to Lombard build on iPad 3(6.1.2) and iPhone 4(7.1.1) devices. Could you please share the AIR SDK version, device name with version your users are using. This will help us in reproducing the problem. Moreover, you can also check the application Dropbox - SharedObjectExample.zip I have used to reproduce the problem. Please let us know if I missing anything.
Regards,
Nimit

How would I deploy my iOS app on Windows?

Hey guys, I want t know what do I need to test iOS games made from Flash Builder 4.6 and Flash CS6? I am on a Windows Machine, and I was wondering how would I test it on an iOS device? My sister has a Mac so I would be able to upload to the App Store after development, I just wanted to know how would I test on Windows since I don't want to use her Computer until I need to upload to the App Store.

I think you were able to create certs and profiles on a PC but Apple has revamped there whole system regarding developers so not to sure you can do it now on a PC. It's easier to do on a Mac. I can't go into details about the full process cuz there are a lot of steps but you can find many tutorials online covering that. Basically once you have your account set up, you create a p12 certificate and a provisioning profile. For profiles you create one for distribution for adhoc. Then you create another for distribution for AppStore. In flash you bundle the cert and a profile into the IPA file. Also before you create profiles register your devices and any else's you plan to have test for you. You can have 100 devices per year. I have a group of people that test for me and have them all on Testflight. So they all receive an email from me and install the app right out of the email on there device. Use the adhoc profile for testing then when ready use the Appstore profile to upload to iTunes.

Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
Thanks.

Detect if iOS app is made with AIR?

Is there an easy way to find air apps on the iOS app store? OR an easy way to detect if someones app is made with Air? I do not see the App ID in the itunes link like you do on google play

The need was to find out apps in the App Store that were made as AIR apps. You would have to actually buy apps to figure it out from the files. In Google Play you can see in the URL. For example, I did this app with Flash Pro:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.oogieloves.milkshakemayhemlite

Adobe Air + Box2D.swc = TypeError: Error #1009 // New way to handle .swc files in Flash for iOS Apps?

Hi,
I need your help please - I have to update one of my iOS Apps. In this App I use Box2d for a simple maze game (it's an app for kids). When I publish & test this game on my Mac it works fine. I can drag my Hero (fish) through this Maze and all collision detections, gravity etc. work perfect.
When I test it on my iPad it doesn't work. The device debugger shows this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
Line 31: loader = new CLibInit();
I guess "CLibInit" should come from the .swc file.
The thing is:
I didn't change anything in this maze game - it seems this has to do something with the new Flash and/or Adobe Air version. Box2D.swc file is included:
It always worked like this - and it works when testing it on my Mac - but it is no longer working on my current system.
So I started my Mac from an older system (10.9.5 on an external HD) and published the App from Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 13.0 - then it suddenly worked on my iPad as before. I was able to tap an the fish and drag it arround.
The same project / app published from my current OS X 10.10 + Flash CC 2014 + Adobe Air 15.0.0.302 is not working. I always receive this Error Message - I can not drag the fish - nothing happens. And I have no idea why this happens and what else I could do. I searched the whole day for a solution but didn't find anything.
So did anything change by the way Flash and/or Air handles .swc files? Is there an other way to include: import cmodule.Box2D.* / CLibInit ?
Please - if anyone has a clue - please let me know!!
Best regards
Jan

Update:
There is also an Android Version of this App. I just published and tested a new version of it on my kindle fire & Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. On both Tablets the maze works perfect. I'm able to drag the fish around etc.
Then I published this Android Version for iOS and tested it on my iPad. Again I'm getting the Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

...and the fish is stuck - I can't drag it - nothing happens. So this error only occurs when I publish the App for iOS - as an .ipa. Did anything change in the way Air handles .swc files?
I'm totally confused
If anybody has an idea what I could try - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Color picker in iOS 8 app built against AIR 16 not showing up correctly

I am using Flash CS6 to publish a coloring book app for Android and iOS. As of AIR SDK 15, the ColorPicker no longer shows up correctly in iOS, though the code continues to work correctly on Android. I have tried both AIR 15 and 16, and neither works correctly on iOS (only tested against iOS 8).
The color picker from iOS8, AIR SDK 14 (as it should appear):
The color picker from iOS 8, AIR SDK 16 (with black boxes covering each sample):
Functionally they both work and there was no change to the code between the two builds. Anyone experience a similar issue or have ideas on navigating around it?
Oh, here is the code I use to generate the colorpicker, in case it is useful:
//Color picker colorPicker = new ColorPicker();
colorPicker.setStyle("swatchWidth", swatchWidth);
colorPicker.setStyle("swatchHeight", swatchHeight);
colorPicker.setStyle("selectedColor", 0xffffff);
colorPicker.colors = [0x330033, 0x000066, 0x330099, 0x3300cc, 0x3300ff, 0x6600ff, 0x6600cc, 0x660099, 0x660066, 0x660033,0x660000,0x330000,0x000000, 0x000033, 0x000066, 0x000099, 0x0000cc, 0x0000ff, 0x333333, 0x333366, 0x333399, 0x3333cc, 0x3333ff, 0x6633ff, 0x6633cc, 0x663399, 0x663366, 0x663333,0x663300,0x333300,0x003300, 0x003333, 0x003366, 0x003399, 0x0033cc, 0x0033ff, 0x336633, 0x336666, 0x336699, 0x3366cc, 0x3366ff, 0x6666ff, 0x6666cc, 0x666699, 0x666666, 0x666633,0x666600,0x336600,0x006600, 0x006633, 0x006666, 0x006699, 0x0066cc, 0x0066ff, 0x339933, 0x339966, 0x339999, 0x3399cc, 0x3399ff, 0x6699ff, 0x6699cc, 0x669999, 0x669966, 0x669933,0x669900,0x339900,0x009900, 0x009933, 0x009966, 0x009999, 0x0099cc, 0x0099ff, 0x33cc33, 0x33cc66, 0x33cc99, 0x33cccc, 0x33ccff, 0x66ccff, 0x66cccc, 0x66cc99, 0x66cc66, 0x66cc33,0x66cc00,0x33cc00,0x00cc00, 0x00cc33, 0x00cc66, 0x00cc99, 0x00cccc, 0x00ccff, 0x33ff33, 0x33ff66, 0x33ff99, 0x33ffcc, 0x33ffff, 0x66ffff, 0x66ffcc, 0x66ff99, 0x66ff66, 0x66ff33,0x66ff00,0x33ff00,0x00ff00, 0x00ff33, 0x00ff66, 0x00ff99, 0x00ffcc, 0x00ffff, 0xccff33, 0xccff66, 0xccff99, 0xccffcc, 0xccffff, 0xffffff, 0xffffcc, 0xffff99, 0xffff66, 0xffff33, 0xffff00, 0xccff00,0x99ff00, 0x99ff33, 0x99ff66, 0x99ff99, 0x99ffcc, 0x99ffff, 0xcccc33, 0xcccc66, 0xcccc99, 0xcccccc, 0xccccff, 0xffccff, 0xffcccc, 0xffcc99, 0xffcc66, 0xffcc33, 0xffcc00, 0xcccc00,0x99cc00, 0x99cc33, 0x99cc66, 0x99cc99, 0x99cccc, 0x99ccff, 0xcc9933, 0xcc9966, 0xcc9999, 0xcc99cc, 0xcc99ff, 0xff99ff, 0xff99cc, 0xff9999, 0xff9966, 0xff9933, 0xff9900, 0xcc9900,0x999900, 0x999933, 0x999966, 0x999999, 0x9999cc, 0x9999ff, 0xcc6633, 0xcc6666, 0xcc6699, 0xcc66cc, 0xcc66ff, 0xff66ff, 0xff66cc, 0xff6699, 0xff6666, 0xff6633, 0xff6600, 0xcc6600,0x996600, 0x996633, 0x996666, 0x996699, 0x9966cc, 0x9966ff, 0xcc3333, 0xcc3366, 0xcc3399, 0xcc33cc, 0xcc33ff, 0xff33ff, 0xff33cc, 0xff3399, 0xff3366, 0xff3333, 0xff3300, 0xcc3300,0x993300, 0x993333, 0x993366, 0x993399, 0x9933cc, 0x9933ff, 0xcc0033, 0xcc0066, 0xcc0099, 0xcc00cc, 0xcc00ff, 0xff00ff, 0xff00cc, 0xff0099, 0xff0066, 0xff0033, 0xff0000, 0xcc0000,0x990000, 0x990033, 0x990066, 0x990099, 0x9900cc, 0x9900ff, 0x000000, 0x333333, 0x666666, 0x999999, 0xcccccc, 0xffffff, 0xff0000, 0x00ff33, 0x0000ff, 0xffff00, 0xff00ff, 0x00ffff];

I have exactly the same problem in one of my apps - it worked perfectly well when published with air 14 but I am getting the black squares when published with air 15 or 16.
Anyone know how to get around this or whether there is a solution to the issue?

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.

Air 3 + FMS 4.5 + HLS = iOS app play live video? h264+aac?

OK, I tried before with air 2.6-2.7, a live video app VP6+MP3 to the AppStore and it got rejected, because of the http-live-streaming requirement.
So today, I installed FMS 4.5, and created stream h264+AAC, to the rtmp://myserverip/livepkgr with stream: mystream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
I tried openning it on iphone safari with this url and it playes with default player: http://myserverip/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/mystream.m3u8
Then I tried with same url in my iphone app (Air 3.0 sdk) to open the stream and it doesnt work, I tried f4f and f4m extensions, dont work.
What is the URL I have to load from my app as3 to load this HLS stream into my Air3 iOS App?
I read somewhere now it is possible, or is it not possible yet to make app that plays HLS now?

OK, I just made it work (kind of) with StageWebView. In a way with the iphone default player it is working smoothly with h264 video and AAC audio.
- Is this the only way to bring HLS (http-live-streaming) live video to the Air3 sdk based iOS Apps? I looked through the HLS and HDS documents, it doesnt say anything about how to load the stream into AS3 code with rtmp://ip/live/stream kind of URL.
- Is there any live tv apps approved to Apple AppStore with this StageWebView implementation? I am worried that that it will rejected, because it is basically just loading a html page.
Appreciate the help in advance.

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?
