Anyone know how to get the "resdir" flag to work when using VS Code?

joshtynjala

It's not possible yet. I just added a feature request on Github: #519

I'll try to get it added in the next release.

They say in release notes:

Weare hoping to continue to offer support for iOS platforms on Windows but this becomes harder as we aren’t able to use the standard Apple toolchains

Does this means that we can not compile iOS apps on Windows now? What exactly is the issue now with compiling iOS app on Windows or providing support for iOS on Windows in the future?

Michoko

hardcoremore Wow, I had missed this. Hopefully they will be able to support building IPAs on Windows, as this is really crucial in my current workflow. 🙁

Considering Apple's toolset is completely macOS based I can imagine there is a lot of difficulty in building iOS apps on Windows. They must have their own version of the linker etc on Windows to package the IPA.

There is a reason most of the main competitors (unity etc) require macOS for iOS builds. 🙂

Michoko

I don't know if Harman are aware of this tool which allows to use the iOS SDK on Windows, apparently using most of the original tools: https://www.pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/

Thanks for the update @joshtynjala! Bad news on the iOS front though. If that goes, then there isn’t much reason for me not to move to something like flutter which has the same limitations but a much stronger base atm

@Michoko Hadn't seen that before, definitely could be worth letting Harman know about it, seems fairly active too.

Michoko

ma Michael, do you think of a specific way I could make Harman aware of this?

ma

You can just email them ? adobe.support@harman.com

Does the new version 345 have ANR problems? compared to version 259? (300 caused a large spike in crashes).

FYI, a new AIR beta (33.1.1.533) is available, with some huge improvements!

There are a large number of changes and fixes in this release, the most notable areas are:

Linux support, for commercial licensees – the AIR SDK can now be used, and captive-bundled AIR
applications created and run, on Linux x86_64 platforms.

Android: now supporting the requirements for API level 30, including the App Bundle format, and
developers can include support for Play Asset Delivery packages.

iOS: updating to SDK 14.5 and with additional fixes in for code-signing

Windows: significant improvements in multimedia and reduction in memory leaks/instabilities

Wow, that's a fantastic update.

Great news !!!

I am working on a big game for a while now and getting ready for a release soon.

Windows: significant improvements in multimedia and reduction in memory leaks/instabilities
My game is working fine on Windows but I will test it out for sure

This was super necessary and thank you HARMAN for making AIR better.

Has anybody tried this for this release?

leokan23

TeotiGraphix I can't even make it work on emulator 😅 there seems to be a problem with profiles. Also no idea how to force intellij to aab instead of apk.

mohammadfard

TeotiGraphix
yes.
i export aab with distriqt ANE without any problem
use this for export aab :

adt -package -target aab -storetype pkcs12 -storepass passwordtest-keystore "test.p12" "mk.aab" "tesproject.xml" "tesproject.swf" -platformsdk "D:\androidsdk24"

TeotiGraphix

leokan23 Nice. 😅

Well I will be there sooner than later, keep posted if you see anything good. 🙂

mfrasier

leokan23 From the release notes, it seems you can add a CreateAndroidAppBundle setting in adt.cfg and set it to true.

I was under the impression aabs couldn't be directly installed though (at least not currently):

AAB files cannot be installed onto a handset: instead, an appropriate APK needs to be generated and
installed, which can be done via the “bundletool” utility. Instructions for this are available at
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/bundletool#deploy_with_bundletool, essentially the
below lines can be used:

java -jar bundletool.jar build-apks --bundle output.aab --output output.apks --connected-device
java -jar bundletool.jar install-apks --apks=output.apks

TeotiGraphix

mfrasier Yeah my comment was just about the .aab getting submitted and approved with 32/64bit native libraries working correctly.

Most definitely .aab files are lego kits and the apk is the finished lego castle/mashup.
