Why does Adobe Air Captive Runtime require Internet Access on Android?

I am developing a children's app on Adobe Air and just learned that the Internet permission is being forced by Adobe Air. The only comment I saw on these forums was from someone stating it was so the Adobe Air App can communicate to the Adobe Air package, which doesn't make much sense-- but even still, I am bundling the Adobe Air Runtime within the App itself.
This affects me because as a children's app, some of my customers (e.g. Parents) will see the requirement of an Internet connection as a bad sign, in that my app may be loading content from the internet, or collecting data about their child or device and sending it over the internet.
I think Adobe should be clear as to why their platform requires internet access. Thank you.

I have the same problem. i have tired AIRSDK 3.1 & 3.4, my app can run normal without Captive-runtime mode in my nexus s, But keep getting the message "unfortunately, (myappname) has stopped" when packed with Captive-runtime.

  • Adobe AIR 13 Runtime Security Bulletin for Windows or Mac

    According to 5/13/2014 - Release - AIR 13 Runtime and SDK, the update for Adobe AIR 13 on 5/13/2014 includes fixes and security updates "Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-14)", we have two questions:
    1. Why the Adobe Air 13 runtime for Windows and Mac is not listed in the security bulletin APSB14-14, like APSB14-02?
    2. Was the version released before Adobe AIR 13.0.0.111 for Windows Adobe AIR 4.0.0.1390 or Adobe AIR 13.0.0.83?
    Thanks!

    MacWorld did a comparative evaluation of the October 2008 MBA with 1.86 GHz processor and the Mid-2009 MBA with 2.13 GHz chip. Their conclusion was that that 1.86 CPU was actually FASTER than the 2.13 in most applications.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/141296/2009/06/macbookairmid09.html
    They speculated that the 2.13 chip was being throttled by Apple to control heat issues and that's why it tested SLOWER than the (supposedly) slower 1.86 part.
    Have to wait for testing of these new MBA units to know if the same thing occurs. But, for the Rev. B and C MBAs, the 1.86 part was actually faster in real world use!

  • Launching Air Captive runtime by double clicking file does not pass location in arguments

    I am trying to make my Air Captive Runtime Mac OS X app respond correctly when the user double clicks on a file type associated with the app.
    I have set up the invoke event listener to capture location of the file that the user has clicked to launch the app stored in the event.arguments variable.
    In the following simple test I just print out the length of the arguments passed in when the app is invoked. This is the behavior I am seeing:
    1. when I launch the app from the command line with 2 args,
    open test.app --args arg1 arg2
    I get "2"  as expected for the arguments length.
    2. If the app is already open and I double click a file with a type associated with the app. It correctly invokes the app and passes in the path to the file that was clicked. Length is 1 as expected and the content is the path to the file.
    3. However, if I just double click the same associated file when the app is not open, the app launches correctly, however no arguments are passed. Length is 0 and there is no way to know what file the user double clicked.
    here is code:
    var debugOutput = new TextField();
    addChild(debugOutput);
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);
    function onInvoke(e:InvokeEvent):void
      debugOutput.text = e.arguments.length;
    Any thoughts on what might be going on?

  • How do you publish AIR captive runtime for Windows from OSX in Flash Pro CS6?

    Is this possible?  If I move the app from a Mac to Windows it isn't looking like an app anymore.  It's looking like a set of folders instead.  Do I need to change publish options?  changeing the extension to .exe didn't fix it. Help appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave ,
    The published AIR captive runtime in Flash from Windows and Mac will have the following structure -
    Windows -
    MyApp/
        META-INF/
        Adobe AIR/         // The captive runtime minus irrelevant files
        mimetype
        MyApp.swf          // Assets
        MyApp.exe          // An entrypoint that loads the captive runtime
    Mac -
    MyApp.app/
        Contents/
            Frameworks/
                Adobe AIR.framework/ // The captive runtime
            Info.plist
            MacOS/
                MyApp                // An entrypoint that loads the captive runtime
            PkgInfo
            Resources/
                META-INF/
                mimetype
                MyApp.swf            // Assets
    The entry point that loads the Captive runtime is different in the above cases.
    Hence we need to explicitly publish from the required platform.
    You can even check this link : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f709e16db131e43659b9-8000.html
    To create a captive runtime bundle for Windows, you must package the application while running under the Windows operating system.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Does InDesign CS6 require internet access for volume license validation

    Our purchasing team supplied me with a volume licnsed version of InDesign CS6 and it requires internet access to validate the license.We operate in a VDI environment without internet access.
    If i try to use the AdobeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEdition tool to customize the app it will not recognise the serial key..? if i manually launch the Setup.exe it does..?
    Thanks
    gary

    Yes , the internet access is required to use the Adobe software but we do understand in secure enviornment it is not possible.
    Hence , you can create a deployment package using AAMEE on a internet enabled computer and then use the package to install the cs6 software on the computer without internet computer.
    Make sure you use AAMEE 3.0 as it will only work with CS6.

  • Why does adobe try to force Google Chrome on to my computer and a Google Toolbar! Thats is fasist!

    also why does adobe require so many updates! why can't they get it right the first five hundred time i update it!
    why cant i update or down load with out having to get google tool bar to be spyied on? WTF? And Google Chrome if i wanted Google Chrome i down load it directly!
    Google collecting and storing information is an invasion of privacy! If Adobe is so free thinking and so advanced, ask if we want ******** toolbars downloaded it sucks when you think your down loading something and get a new webpage and toolbars. Dont do business this way. Its arrogant & ignorant

    Adobe never installed anything on my computer I didn't want.  You can always uncheck bundled software that is offered with the standard downloads, or use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd party software.

  • Why does Adobe invoice charging VAT from Ireland to Spain?

    Why does Adobe invoice charging VAT from Ireland to Spain?

    Please refer to:
    1.VAT - Adobe Ireland?
    2.I have an email receipt.  Did you charge sales tax for the downloads?
    3.Billing: German VAT 23% ???
    4.Why is Adobe's UK website charging 23% VAT on Photoshop Elements 12 ?
    5.Adobe Store | Online order and payment FAQ
    n most parts of the world, Adobe is legally required to charge sales tax according to the calculations you see when you purchase online. If Adobe doesn't charge taxes, you are sometimes still liable to pay the taxes yourself.
    Adobe is registered in many different countries for which it is responsible for charging and collecting VAT/GST. For most sales, the rate charged depends on the country from which the goods or services are delivered. In Adobe European stores, you are charged the relevant VAT rate for hard goods and services.

  • Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

    Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
    Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
    Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

    Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
    Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
    I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
    Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
    We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

  • What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

  • "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater"

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater is the error that jumps up when I try installing it. Currently this system is running Internet Explorer 7 which is installed at it's default location. Any clues what can have gone wrong?
    Version 7.0.5730.13
    Build 75730
    Program path C:\Program\Internet Explorer (Swedish computer)
    Language Engelska (USA)

    I came upon this post after receiving this error message when trying to install Acrobat 9. In my case, we deploy Acrobat from an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) using Group Policy. I believe the user at this computer pulled the plug while the group policy deployment was taking place. I got the error when trying to install the program manually afterwards.
    I was able to rectify the issue by running msiexec.exe against the MSI in the AIP with the /x switch, performing an uninstall:
    msiexec /x \\server\deploy\AcrobatStandard9\acrostan.msi
    (The program was not showing up in Add/Remove programs, otherwise I would have tried uninstalling from there.) After that, the install proceeded successfully.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
