When publishing your app to the app store the process of debugging issues can be a little painful. The particular issue I was dealing with was the dreaded (and super vague) “Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, contains disallowed entitlements, or it was not signed with an iPhone Continue Reading
While building a phonegap app I encountered an issue with my Android build. When I would select a text input and trigger the opening of the keyboard it would quickly close before I was able to type. This issue appeared following my addition of an AdMob Plugin so I assumed Continue Reading
In my previous posts about writing native extensions for iOS, I pointed out that it’s important to tell Flash Builder where the iOS SDK is located. When I installed Xcode on a Snow Leopard machine the SDK was located at: [sourcecode] /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk [/sourcecode] I set up a brand new Macbook Continue Reading
This is the last step of the native extension build process. Did you miss something or are you late to the party? Jump back to step 1. Now that all of the supporting projects have been built and compiled, it’s time to put it all together. For native extensions, that Continue Reading
Building the Android library was very interesting. It was easier for me to write Java as it was more similar to ActionScript. Some amount of debugging (log statements) is actually possible with zero work on the developer’s part which is a great addition (more on that later). Also, using the Continue Reading
The iOS project is the part that, in my opinion, is the hardest. There are plenty of mistakes that are very easy to accidentally make. Hopefully this post will help everyone else avoid the same mistakes that I made. The iOS Library 1. Open Xcode and make a new project. Continue Reading
In this post we’ll discuss the parts of the native extension that are written in ActionScript. This includes in the main library and the default implementation. The ActionScript Library The main library is an ActionScript library which serves as an interface to the AIR application. This library is also responsible Continue Reading
I’ve been writing a lot of native extensions lately. The project I’m working on now requires all kinds of custom behavior. It’s been an interesting ride. I’ve learned a lot, for sure, particularly since I haven’t coded extensively with iOS or Android. I’ve learned some things and I’d like to Continue Reading
By now you have surely heard all the hullabaloo around Apple Adobe and iPhone/iPad development. Until recently, Apple’s position was understandable from a business perspective, in that, if they allowed Flash applications to run on the iPhone, iPhone customers could use free Flash applications over the web, and not have Continue Reading
I had the ‘pleasure’ of sitting next to a lawyer screaming previously confidential information into his mobile phone on the return home from a trip to New York. It seems that Motorola is actively working with Google/YouTube to bring their content directly to your mobile phone using Flash Lite. While Continue Reading
