Trouble installing .air app on mac

For the sake of people searching, or if the image gets removed on day, here is the error message as text:
"Sorry, an error has occured.  The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem.  The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid.  Please contact the application author."
I keep getting the above error when trying to install a new .air desktop file on a third-party Mac over which I have limited control.  The .air app does work on Windows 8.1.
-Do you think it could be the AIR runtime (currently version 14, and am getting admin to update it to version 16)?  I built the app in AIR 16.
-There is a previous version of the app, with a different certificate that is already installed.  Would this possibly cause the error?
-Finally, I signed the app with a self-created certificate for development reasons.  Is that likely to be a problem, it didn't seem to be an issue last time I did this?
Thank you.

This was covered a couple of times just in the last week.
Search for "runtime redistribute" or similar.

  • How to get errors and/or air.trace() from installed air app?

    I'm trying to debug an installed air app that behaves
    differently once installed than when run with adl. However, i can't
    figure out any way to get errors or air.trace() information. I am
    on OS X (10.5.6). Any tips?
    I imagine this should be easy since debugging an installed
    app is pretty much a necessity for development.

    You can enable logging to a text file using settings in the
    mm.cfg file. See
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19323
    Note that ALL trace output will go to the log.
    Other things you can do are:
    1. Run the installed app with adl -- just pass the installed
    app descriptor to adl on the command line
    2. Supply a publisher id to adl. This removes one difference
    between installed/ not installed apps and may be enough if the
    behavior issue has to do with local connections or other matters
    involving the publisher id.
    3. Use the adl -nodebug flag. This removes another difference
    between installed/uninstalled apps. You won't see uncaught
    exceptions, but trace statements are still reported.

  • Problem Installing Air on 2 Macs

    I'm having a problem installing Air on 2 macs.  The symptoms are the same - the installer launches and nothing else happens.
    Configuration 1:
    Macbook Pro (Feb 2008); 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.6.3
    Configuration 2:
    PowerMac G5; dual 2.5 GHz; MacOS 10.5.8
    Both computers have Design Premium CS3 installed, in case that matters.
    Here's the log off of the laptop:
    Performing runtime install
    UI SWF load is complete
    UI  initialized
    starting user confirmation
    Version of  this installer: 1.5.3.9130
    Installation type: new
    And there it stays.  The installer is running and I can choose Quit from its menu.  It looks like it's waiting for user authentication, but the dialog never appears.  Since the symptoms on both are the same, I'm guessing that whatever the cause is something common to both computers.  I've had no problems installing Flash or any other program.  This looks to be specific to Air.
    FWIW, I tried installing the beta of Air 2.0 hoping that might work.  No difference!  Here's that log (from Console):
    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe  AIR Installer[1488] Performing  runtime install
    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR  Installer[1488] UI SWF load is complete

    4/8/10 2:55:22 PM Adobe AIR  Installer[1488] Installation  type: new
    The only difference is when I quit out the version 2 installer, a crash report is generated.  I can post that if anyone thinks it would help.
    Any suggestions?

  • Admin rights to install AIR apps on Windows?

    Hi
    I have the  AIR framework 1.5 already installed on a Windows XP PC.
    After this, are admin/power-user rights required to install AIR apps on the same machine to the "My Documents" folder? I would assume NO. Pls clarify.
    If admin rights are required, are there ways to disable certain install features (Add/Remove control panel entry etc) to remove this admin requirement?
    Thanks in advance

    You must have the correct permissions to install anything.  This includes AIR applications.

  • Trouble installing CS6 on my mac

    Im having trouble installing CS6 onto my mac. I have tried each way a few times and it isnt downloading, it might get to half way and then it stops. Any ideas?

    What Mac? What version of OSX? What are the specific errors. And clarify whether you actualyl alrteady have successfully downloaded and get stuck on installing or if it's the otehr way around. That false intermingling of terminology is really not helping.

  • Please please help me install Air on my Mac

    I am using a Mac os x 10.6.6. Have installed flash 10.2 and trying to install Air 2.5. Each time I try to install this it just opens and sits in my dock. Nothing else happens. I have tried the sudo commands (which I do not understand by the way). Have tried everything that I have found in other posts including running the Air Install Repair. I need this for the tracker on Elance. I contacted them and was told to come here. So I'll include all the images I was able to get and the log file.
    This is all that happens when I tell Air to install:
    Here is the image from my terminal when entering the psudo:
    Here is the system log (could only send it in images, not able to past it):
    Wish I could copy/paste so the writing would be bigger. Please any help would be appreciated. I am missing out on work because of this problem.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the detailed information.  I've seen this occur a few times now and it's definitely frustrating.  I've been trying to recreate this but I just can't seem to find the right environment.  Would you be willing to do a save of your System Profile and email me ([email protected]) that file?  It might help me determine what files you have installed that differ from mine or find a common denominator with other affected customers.
    To work around this problem, try the following:
    Download and mount the latest AIR runtime installer from http://get.adobe.com/air
    Open the "Terminal" application found in your Application/Utilities folder
    Copy and past the following command:
    sudo /Volumes/Adobe\ AIR/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent -eulaAccepted
    After hitting enter, you will be prompted for your login password.
    Installation takes a few minutes. Look for output similar to the following:Adobe AIR is currently  not installed
    Installing version  2.5.1.17750
    done
    Once complete, close Terminal and install your Adobe  AIR-based application.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi jon123_123,
    I dont understand what you mean by opening PDF file in Adobe Air, that is platform.
    You should try uninstall Adobe Reader and install Latest version of Adobe Reader with latest updates patches and check again.

  • Install AIR App to userspace location by default

    I would like for my AIR App installer to choose to install to a userspace location by default.
    On Mac OSX this would be $HOME/Applications rather than the system space /Applications
    On Windows this would perhaps be %HOME%\AppData instead of the system space c:\Program Files
    I realize that during the install process, the user can manually specify their userspace, but I would like for the installer to default to userspace.

    try this one:
    In the address bar, type "about:config", which will give you a large list of the configuration options and press I'LL BE CAREFUL, I PROMISE.
    In the filter box, type "keyword"
    Find and Double click the '''keyword.url''' line and overwrite with the following:

  • Install AIR app + native app simultaneously

    Hi everyone,
    I'm developing an Adobe AIR app but since AIR doesn't provide
    all the functionality that I need, I'm also developing a native app
    that does some system-level stuff and writes a XML file that then
    the AIR app reads. Since I want this to be as painless as possible
    for the end user, I'd like to make an installar that:
    - Installs the native app and sets it to autorun when the
    system starts (it's a background app).
    - Installs the AIR app, detect Flash version, etc (launch
    the Badge?)
    I think I'd need a separate installer solution for each OS
    (Windows and Mac) that, after installing the native app and adding
    it to the autorun list of the OS, launches the .air so that the
    badges continues with the installation.
    I don't really know if what I want to accomplish is doable at
    all, so any hints or links that may help me would be really
    appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Manuel F. Lara

    Hi Daniel,
    Could you post or send me ([email protected]) the entire crash log?  I'll at least need the binaries section so I can properly symbolicate the log.
    Thanks,

  • Guide to create air apps for Mac appstore?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if there is any guide for publishing an air app on the Mac AppStore. All I found so far is a simple tutorial by Pigsels which is written with air3.2 in mind.
    I can't seem to find any official articles from Adobe about this subject.
    Questions I have are:
    - is it possible to export to Mac AppStore from flash cs6?
    - are there any guidelines I have to follow? Like should I create minimize and close buttons from within flash? Or are they generated by apple?
    - how to test apps on your Mac before uploading to the Mac AppStore?
    Has anyone here been able to publish something in this store? Some tips would be really appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Okay, I figured it out myself.
    Here's the solution for anyone interested:
    - In Flash CS6 create an Air for Desktop Application
    - In publish settings choose to publish a Mac Installer. This will create an .app file.
    - Follow the steps from this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4564789#4564789
    I had a little trouble signing the apps, but this buildscript from the guy in the forums really helped a lot: Just follow al the steps and you will succeed...
    Well, I managed to get my apps uploaded to apple. Don't know if they will get approved, but I'll just wait and see...
    Hope this helps a bit!

    cp Info.plist <APPNAME>.app/Contents
