Packaging AIR application for iOS devices with ADT command and ANT script
As you may know AIR 2.6 SDK was released yesterday. It brings a lot of improvements especially for iOS devices (you can find the release information here). Now if you already have a certificate and provisioning profile from Apple and want to try out your existing code to deploy on an iOS device you can use the following ADT command:
[AIR_SDK_HOME]/bin/adt -package -target ipa-test -provisioning-profile [MOBILE_PROVISION_FILE_PATH] -storetype pkcs12 -keystore [CERTIFICATE_FILE_PATH] ./MyApplication.ipa ./bin-debug/MyApplication-app.xml -C ./bin-debug MyApplication.swf -C ./bin-debug assets
Of course, replace the capitalized blocks with your appropriate paths, and then execute it from the root folder of your AIR application project. It will package the app SWF file and any accompanying assets from the bin-debug folder. Bear in mind that this is not a final build ready to be published to the App Store. In order to do that you want to package a release build from the bin-release folder and also use ipa-app-store target parameter instead of ipa-test. UPDATE: Flash Builder may overwrite an application ID in -app.xml with a “.debug” suffix; you should remove it prior to packaging. The ID should match the one registered with your mobile provisioning.
You can achieve the same thing with the following ANT script:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <project> <!-- SDK properties --> <property name="SDK_HOME" value="PATH TO AIR SDK"/> <property name="ADT.JAR" value="${SDK_HOME}/lib/adt.jar"/> <!-- Project properties --> <property name="APP_NAME" value="MyApplication"/> <property name="APP_ROOT_DIR" value="."/> <property name="BUILD_DIR" location="${APP_ROOT_DIR}/bin-debug"/> <property name="APP_ROOT_FILE" value="${APP_NAME}.swf"/> <property name="APP_DESCRIPTOR" value="${APP_NAME}-app.xml"/> <property name="IPA_NAME" value="${APP_NAME}.ipa"/> <property name="STORETYPE" value="pkcs12"/> <property name="KEYSTORE" value="PATH TO YOUR CERTIFICATE"/> <property name="STOREPASS" value="CERTIFICATE PASSWORD"/> <property name="PROVISIONING_PROFILE" value="PATH TO PROVISIONING PROFILE FILE"/> <target name="package"> <java jar="${ADT.JAR}" fork="true" failonerror="true"> <arg value="-package"/> <arg value="-target"/> <arg value="ipa-test"/> <arg value="-provisioning-profile"/> <arg value="${PROVISIONING_PROFILE}"/> <arg value="-storetype"/> <arg value="${STORETYPE}"/> <arg value="-keystore"/> <arg value="${KEYSTORE}"/> <arg value="-storepass"/> <arg value="${STOREPASS}"/> <arg value="${APP_ROOT_DIR}/${IPA_NAME}"/> <arg value="${BUILD_DIR}/${APP_DESCRIPTOR}"/> <arg value="-C"/> <arg value="${BUILD_DIR}"/> <arg value="${APP_ROOT_FILE}"/> <arg value="-C"/> <arg value="${BUILD_DIR}"/> <arg value="assets"/> </java> </target> </project>
