[AIR] How to build ANE 64-bit

TL;TR

http://easynativeextensions.com/making-your-ios-apps-universal/

Or try doing thing backward here ;)

1. Open your Mac.
2. Open Facebook check it fast and close it!
3. Make sure Adobe AIR SDK is update to most recent by brew it. (or install if you don't have one)

4. $ brew upgrade adobe-air-sdk

5. Make sure AIR SDK path is set.
   

   $ export AIR_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/adobe-air-sdk/16.0.0.272/libexec

6. Clone my working ANE 64-bit ready https://github.com/katopz/ane-device-file-util
7. Go to /ane-device-file-util/as3/bin
   

   $ cd /ane-device-file-util/as3/bin

   try
   

   $ bash build.sh

8. Open your Twitter, tweet something and close it!
9. Smile!
10. That's it! 

You just build ANE from working static library "libDeviceFileUtil.a", now let's try make one your own! Follow this step below...

[ANE] Love is in the AIR

I'm now busy with my new iOS app in Swift language, but I'm still doing AS3/AIR in daily basis job also still blog about AS3 and AIR so it's not seem to dead yet this year thanks for ANE ;)

Lucky me I got skill in Objective-C, Java, C++, C# so I can finish my job with plenty of my homemade ANE but some developer is left behind...

Lucky you, This day we got plenty of free/paid ANE, one of them is DiaDraw

And more lucky is my reader will get 20% discount  until the end of 2014 by use coupon code

[AIR] Workaround for broken Base64 via AIR 15

---

Problem : Refer to AIR 15 release note here's list of painful know issues ;)

1. [iPhone 6 Plus] Wrong screen size and dpi is returned through the runtime APIs.
2. [iPhone 6 Plus] iPad Launch image is displayed on iPhone 6 Plus in standard display mode.
3. Unable to install the application on iOS Simulator after updating iOS SDK and iPhone simulator with 7.1.
4. [HMAOT] Hurlant Base64,encode doesn't work with new fast packaging engine.
5. iOS tlfText not rendering, when application packaged with new fast packaging engine.

For me, I just got weirdo 0.01.010.1.0.. instead of normal Base64 after packing IPA and use it via iPad3 iOS 8, but lower iOS version seem to be fine.

Solution :  Refer to  Adobe said here...

I know you guy are lazy dude like me so here we go below quick fix for download below! :D

[ANE] New Admob AIR Native Extension 2014

On August 31, 2014, legacy AdMob is shutting down. All legacy ad serving will stop soon, But no worry! Open source is here to help both iOS and Android or each! :D

[AIR] Working Genome2D Nape Physics Example

I'm still curious about how Genome2D+Nape Physics perform via my iPhone5, The problem is https://github.com/pshtif/Genome2D-Nape is totally out date, but it's not a problem anymore after Genome2D open it source, then this magically happen ;)

You can try fix this yourself

(which actually fun)

Or just use my fixed here

• https://github.com/katopz/Genome2D-AS3
• https://github.com/katopz/Genome2D-Nape
• https://github.com/katopz/Genome2D-AS3-Nape-Example

because original Genome2D repo is comment out all physics related tho not sure why but in case it opensource, I've no mercy to fix it just for fun ;)

BTW : I won't pull request back yet because it too much hack and slash there, I'll wait for stable release to avoiding refracting conflict ;)

PS : Long time no code in  AS3 woooot!

[UPDATE]
just like i said it's kinda hack for learning and after asking for more detail on this via google group, turn out that that all physic stuff is get heavy refactoring there, nore detail via devcast here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvH6g6h6JRQ i will revisit this again...not so soon ;)

[AIR] Workaround for aapt tool failed via AIR 14 SDK

That moments when...

when overly new AIR SDK normally we copy and paste to folder (old method)

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\sdks\4.6.0

and new one

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK

Tadaaa, You will get plenty of error via AIR 14 SDK beta

aapt tool failed:C:\Users\katopz\AppData\Local\Temp\40bfcf3c-9e8c-4a1f-86bc-18bb752c0d54\captive_runtime_res\layout\wand_companion.xml:7: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value '@color/transparent').

More about this

• https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3771841
• https://forums.adobe.com/message/6446565#6446565

Workaround

Delete anything in AIRSDK folder in my case is

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK

An then completely extract everything from air-sdk.zip to that folder

Say again?

Delete old SDK before overlay like usual.
don't ask me why, it's just working ;p

[ANE] How to build and use x86 ANE AIR14

Know how to build/use normal armv7 ANE? Here's another step :)

How to build x86 ANE AIR14 via command line

1. load AIR 14 here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashruntimes/air/
2. Read this : http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/shared/air14_flashplayer14_releasenotes.pdf
3. modify old your old extension.xml
   


tip : just copy whole old Android-ARM xml platform tag and change it name to Android-x86 should do the trick cause other remain same.
4. and for ADT packaging command for ANE build script...
   
   adt -package -target ane Sample.ane extension.xml -swc Sample.swc -platform Android-ARM -C Android-ARM/ . -platform Android-x86 -C Android-x86/ .

Pitfalls and Hints

1. even single dot is matter for packing command, just don't miss it.
2. Android-ARM/ .  mean you will need Android-ARM folder and "." mean anything in that folder will be pack.
3. you can try to unzip your ANE for fun
4. in case you can unzip your old armv7 ANE, and it contain old .jar which really mean you can rebuild x86 support without original source just some guts (i don't try it yet, but it should work)

that's it!

How to check if ANE is x86 compatible

just take a look tho ;p

How to use x86 architec via Flash Builder

for debug do add -arch=x86 via customize launch like after -listen like this (not anymore it's fixed then after May 14, 2014 you will need to add after -storetype )

 

but for run you will need to add before -storetype instead (because -listen not exist)

[UPDATE May 14, 2014] : Adobe fixed this https://github.com/PrimaryFeather/Starling-Framework/issues/539 and you will need to add -arch=x86 before -storetype from now on

[UPDATE May 16, 2014] : refer to...

• 3759405 : [x86]Export Release Build from Flash Builder fails to run app on Android device when -arch parameter is used.

workaround is uncheck delete bin-release-temp folder and your apk will survived inside that temp folder... sound weird i know, just do it!

Like my blog and need more of this? Just download my app or feeding my cats here

Thanks! Meowww

[FlashBuilder] Error occurred while installing the application

That moments when you get this error from Flash Builder 4.7...

Which said...

Error occurred while installing the application:
pkg: /data/local/tmp/QHappy.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
3476 KB/s (11299944 bytes in 3.174s)

Don't panic! Just increase version number in your Main-app.xml...

1.0.0 

to something like

 1.1.0

And you're good to go! Or you can try close and delete installed application and try again.

That's it! :)

[ANE] Daily pitfall, ANE and Worker don't get along in constructor

Quick note for ANE and Worker when you got...

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ... is not defined. at Main()

To reproduce

1. get any ANE e.g. https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-Alert/
2. get helloworld Worker e.g. http://esdot.ca/site/2012/intro-to-as3-workers-hello-world
3. and put both in constructor like this https://gist.github.com/katopz/9873681

Work around

• don't alloc ANE and Worker in constructor together, let worker do their job in their thread and then alloc ANE in Main thread.

That's it! back to work!

[AIR] Adobe AIR4 10x faster packing IPA for real?

Happy new year guys! This is my first post and guess what I still posting about Flash/AIR stuff ;)
In case AIR still my weapon of choice for iOS/Android so let see the results!

Required

1. AIR SDK : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
2. Extract to AIR SDK path : http://sleepydesign.blogspot.com/2012/04/flash-swf-version-meaning.html
3. use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options.

Just follow R->G->B step, nice eh? ;)

Result for release build with plenty of assets

• Before update SDK AIR 3.8 = 7 minutes 8 seconds
• After update SDK AIR4.0 = 4 minutes 27 seconds
• After use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command = 35 seconds

OMG ~12x

All i can say is Adobe just give us a new year gift!

[Flash] Robotlegs 2 Modular Signals Working Example

stolen img from http://www.robotlegs.org/

Yeah yeah i know party is mostly over just me and some dude hanging around and doing shit-chat about old time, but who care? in case client still hire me for mobile app that must be working on both iOS and Android, and sometime also Facebook app...in 2 week time frame...nothing beat Actionscript!

and for someone who still with me here's some juice left for our party!

https://github.com/katopz/robotlegs2-SignalCommandMap-example

this should be handy for learning curve form Robotlegs 1 which took me almost 1 year to learn and modify, but Robotlegs 2 only took me 1 day to accomplish. :D

No i'm not that smart ass, i'm just keep hack and slash to survive in this world and it just working :)

Actually i publish this github for a while but mostly forget to share it here due to heavy duty mess up with new iOS app (Xcode) that will be release soon (also with handy lazy code snippet for migrate as3 dude). Stay tune!

Happy coding! No matter Language it is! ;)

[ANE] Use AIR to get USB device ID

by http://www.anymeme.org

That's long Time ago I did ANE HelloWorld for VC++ but didn't had free time to share yet. Suddenly I have some project that will need something like USB hardlock which won't allow program running if USB not plugged in...Challenge Accepted!

AIR with ANE to get USB unique ID which some interval check is a way to go for this case so here we go!

Resource

1. ANE : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WS460ee381960520ad-866f9c112aa6e1ad46-8000.html
2. Code : actually c# is look a lot easier but c++ is close to objective-c enough so i give it a try here is code i use https://gist.github.com/katopz/5734124
3. Editor : Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-windows-8#product-express-windows
4. Knowledge Base : some c++, some as3, some googling for .h,.lib and TCHAR fantasy conversion

Result

Tadaaa, USB\VID_xxxx&PID_yyyy\zzzz seem legit and unique enough for me. :D

Download

as3 example, ane build.bat, vc++ bla bla bla all here! https://github.com/katopz/ane-usb-util just Don't forget to feed my cat

[UPDATE ] Just realize that I already blog about USB ANE here while ago...so I just wasting my time here LOL, lucky me I love to code so it didn't hurt that much ;)

Happy coding! ;)

[PostCat] How to get App Store Approval in 4 days

After develop in free time for a year, change design 4 times (being client from hell myself), and ping pong reject for a month even nearly give up on approve process (which is working on my side by somehow not on Apple tester side)

I finally found out "the officially secret" that made my Pure as3 Flash AIR app  PostCat to Apple App Store  only in... JUST 4 DAYS! after submit binary (2 weeks is my best record before)

and just like usual i will share how can I get approve that quick but this time the secret will reveal after i my app reach 10,000 downloads , It's free and judge from unique visitors on my blog...you don't need to wait that long (finger cross)

Wait! What's this app is all about?

for more detail please see http://debokeh.com/postcat/ this also my first seriously HTML CSS responsive thingy in decade. so don't expect that much cause i'm Flashy dude ;)

Why I have to download again?

1. You want to know... :  how to get approved in 4 days :)
2. It's use Sprite to perform list view : yes without any Stage3D so if you want to know Sprite doing in real life application, try it now cause it will be replace by Stage3D in some version ahead (not because it too slow but i want to compare with Stage3D)
3. It's use P2P : then if you really want to know is P2P gonna work on iOS and/or via personal hotspot sharing, you must try (Apple tester get P2P blocked i think so my app get reject, this also include in "secret" that how can i get pass on this too)
4. You are Android lover : Oh! yes Android version will be release right after 10,000 downloads, also some ANE Java source code will be shared here too.
5. You want to try ANE : that's list here
6. It's use my design : If you want to know how well can i design, you must try it (cute!)
7. You love me : and also love my job, download number can't  feed my cats but will keep pushing me to do something more.

Why don't you just tell us like usual?

I usually sharing things and expected some donation to feed my cats but bad news is i get 0$ so far (poor cats), well download is free anyway so don't be hesitate to give it a try.

Think again, May be i'll die with this secret...because target download number never reach, how cool is that LOL ;D

[AIR] Post-mortem iOS development via PC

Adobe AIR is great way to build application on iOS and apply to Android in a blink (yes, you still need sometime to adjust screen size and else), and also PC is cheapest way to build the app, let see what went wrong while developing 'til publishing to store.

Possible to develop iOS on PC?

Yes! here's your choices.

1. VMWare // geeky find proper installation step (try google for it),  slow as hell, but fine to use for create certificate and upload binary ipa via Application Loader.
2. UniBeast // super geek installation, you can break your computer in every step, but when it's done it just working just like pricy Mac.

Can app really be done with AIR?

After distribute plenty of my clients app...I've to say yes! but keep in mind that...

1. Must keep 60fps steady on desktop version as possible, you will get not much trouble when deploy to device.
2. Must use Flash Builder profiler and/or Monocle to find what cause your app hang up.
3. Must build and test via real device as much possible.
4. ANE is best way to deal with anything that AIR can't do. only cons for ANE is fragmentation of iOS version and some ANE still require iOS SDK while build.

Do we need certificate?

You obviously need it for distribution (yes, you can hack for development process certification, but don't ask me how, just paid for it dude) In my case is super fancy, my first development certificate is create via PC command line,  distribution certificate via VMWare Lion and finally import both to UniBeast PC Mountain Lion, Don't follow me on this one ;p

1. To get some just follow this guide : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS789ea67d3e73a8b2-240138de1243a7725e7-8000.html
2. Try understand work flow : http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/ios_development_workflow/10-Configuring_Development_and_Distribution_Assets/identities_and_devices.html
3. Must back up your certificate, in some cloud to be save. // for PC .p12 with password should be enough, in Mac better export all at once save it somewhere. 
4. If your client need to publish as their company name do ask them to provide distribute certificated.

Can we do In-app purchase?

Sure! for now you need ANE for that, good news is it's free! but...

1. Must not use Jail broken device for testing. // i think this is undoc ;p
2. Must include products before submit binary via App detail page. // this will waste your time for a month and also chance to get money if you miss this step because you have reupload binary and queue for review all over again! if it not appear then just upload binary -> reject it yourself -> edit button will appear behind In-app purchase topic -> check what product you will include via check box, yeah all sound weird but just work and don't ask me why just do it!
3. Must remove any transaction in all case. // or you will get infinite loop yelling for "You've already purchased this but it hasn't been downloaded"
4. Consumable product won't get reject while create product but Non-Consumable product will get reject if you binary didn't upload yet.
5. Your product can get reject separately from Application reject, review process seem to be separated BTW.

My application rejected!

do/don't :  https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html

1. Must upload binary within 150 days after named your application, if not you will then be available for another developer to use.
2. Must have offline mode for tester, especially if your app need Facebook, in short  make any authentication as optional.
3. If you target iPhone, your app must working via iPad3, iPad4 too! // woot! in my case my client didn't paid for iPad version but i still need to make it work or get reject!
4. Must use developer name not client name. // my client didn't provide certificate for distribution, so i use client company name instead of my company then it conflicted and get reject.
5. Must not refer to Android in all case. // even your app can use and/or communicate between iOS and Android, you just can't say it...wooooot!
6. Comment on Resolution Center will get answer back after 3 days pass and usually nothing but kick you to Appeal page. // in my case i just can't wait for appeal process that i never know how long it gonna take, so i just fix #3 and re submit new binary
7. Binary Review process took around 14 days usually, update version is vary 1 day for fastest record, and FYI that they also work weekend. // My app get reject on Sunday lol
8. AIR 3.5 + Default-568h@2x.png 1136x640 will trigger iPhone5 compatible and you will need screenshot for that.

Notes

1. Your app will list via iPad even you target iPhone.
2. Your app will appear in search result around 24hrs after ready for sale state.
3. Don't cry and/or angry when you get rejected, It didn't help and you will get use to it soon. ;)

Tips

1. It's easier to take screen shot via Mac by Xcode via Organizer window.
2. To track user behavior do try use https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/other/flashTrackingSetupFlash#useAnalyticsLibrary
3. To transfer file to/from device to/from PC/Mac i use iFunbox
4. For free cloud hosting perfect for testing i use hostzilla
5. For free private SVN hosting i use ProjectLocker
6. For cats lover do try http://instagram.com/katopz

FYI : I will add some screenshot for each topic really later #fingercross ;p

[Xcode] Summon UniBeast on PC for Xcode

[cute purr image credit http://www.tonymacx86.com]

I'll post my journey through Mac via PC here, you can expected more update later ;)

What's PC spec?

I install to my good old PC instead of buying new one (yes i'm poor) which is...

• ASUS P7P55D PRO Intel P55 Express Chipset Mainboard for Intel LGA 1156
• Intel Core i5-650 3.2 GHz  [LGA 1156]
• G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T NQ Series 3GB (3x 1GB) DDR3-1600 240-Pin CL9 RAM
• EVGA GTS250 PCIExpressx16 Gen 2 1G GDDR3 // old card but still fast enough
• ST3750330AS 750MB // yes, old HD perfect for testing ;)
• LG E2360 - DVI
• LG W2261- HDMI // won't work, freeze when plug it in ;(

How?

1. Try install UniBeast : http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html // super geek installation, you can break your computer in every step, but when it's done it's just working like Mac
2. If it not work, try EasyBeast only and don't install any driver yet. // i've have to use this method with out UserDSDT and only EasyBeast checked and reboot then try add lnx2mac's realtek rtl81xx ethernet later.
   

Any suggestion?

1. Unplug as any USB possible.
2. Unplug any HD as possible.
3. My audio need this fix : http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/63663-asus-p7p55d-enable-via-vt1828s-sound-10-8-a.html
4. after switching from IDE to AHCI you need to reboot it twice to let bios scan hard disk all over again and also make sure boot drive is set.

Tune your Mac like PC

1. make Mac keyboard behavior as PC : http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net
2. invert scroll wheel in your setting // mouse rules!
3. remap Windows key (Command key) to CTRL key and you can copy/paste like before.
4. remap Home End behaviour like Windows : http://www.starryhope.com/mac-os-x-home-and-end-keys/
5. to switch language with grave accent : https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/
6. stupid copy/paste merge...try alt while drag/drop or ForkLift
7. to batch like DOS (foo.bat) in Mac is create file "foo.sh" begin with "#!/bin/bash" follow with your cmd e.g. echo "Hello World!" it will look like... #!/bin/bash
   echo "Hello World"
   
   save and then "chmod u+x foo.sh" and run it with "sh foo.sh" // easier in Windows!
8. view all hidden file open terminal and...
   

   defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES then alt+right click at Finder then select Relaunch

Pro?

1. cheaper than buy new Mac. // poor me
2. faster than VMWare. // bye bye VMWare

Cons?

1. Dual monitor HDMI will freeze. // something todo with my GTS250 driver...
2. You Windows 7 MBR can be broken after try switching where to boot between OS. // i did have to reinstall Windows 7 ;p

Now install XCODE and  have fun developing! :)

[AIR] Monetize mobile applications

this will contain how developer (yes me and you) can monetize our application, let’s start which some link after googling and I will review it again after use.(wish me luck)


FYI : iAd ANE fail to load via iOS6 and buggy randomly misplace show up, so I’ve to find another solution.

FYI2 : admob for web is deprecated, it change to AdSense hand which not allow on mobile app which mean you just can’t use StageWebView to show AdSense.

1. https://www.adwhirl.com/
   
   by admob by Google hmm sound interesting in case it has unofficial SDK for AS3 and also support iAd  and other network
   
   Result : SDK never work for me, I will wait for ANE then, let’s try next one.

2. http://www.placeplay.com/
   
   also support AIR ANE, will try if adwhirl fail me then
   
   Result : I still wait for app ID to test, and they not reply me yet…next!
   [UPDATE#1] placeplay guys just response my email, ask me for my app name, still wait…
   [UPDATE#2] get email response but too late for me (have to submit binary to app store), will try include it next build then.

   ---

3. http://www.revmob.com/
   
   plenty of SDK include AIR ANE here http://sdk.revmob.com/

   [UPDATE#2] refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-2e7310a1136ab7c1811-8000.html#WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-2e7310a1136ab7c1811-7ffe said
   
   

   Support for iOS5 native extensions To package native extensions that use iOS5 SDK features, the AIR Developer Tool (ADT) requires the location of the iOS5 SDK. On Mac OS, Flash Builder lets you select the location of the iOS5 SDK using the Package Settings dialog. After you select the location of the iOS SDK, the selected location is passed through the -platformsdk ADT command. Note: This functionality is currently not supported on Windows.

   
   which mean I just can’t use it…farewell then

4. you tell me!

PS : my current solution is if iAd ANE fail –> load AdMob ANE
[PS#2] AdMob ANE fail to build with NativeMailExtension and iAd ANE won’t work via iOS6 then ny current solution is only admob-native-extension
Actually this shouldn’t be so hard…but because of iOS is keep update itself then old ANE will fail depend on it luck. so you can expected more update from me here ;p
