I'm packaging an iOS app built in Adobe AIR, and have noticed some odd behaviour relating to version numbers.
When I set the versionNumber in the app descriptor and build it, the resulting .ipa file has a different short version number.
Steps to demonstrate:
I set the app version number in my app descriptor to be 2.0.001, like so:
<versionNumber>2.0.001</versionNumber>
If I then compile the app, break open the resulting .ipa and check info.plist, I see the "Bundle versions string, short" as the correct value: 2.0.001
However, I see the Bundle Version as 2.0.99
This other value is definitely not set anywhere manually, this is a clean project for testing this out.
My question then, is: why would 2.0.001 become 2.0.99 when building? What's actually happening here?
Thanks in advance.
Set xml file property readOnly. Flash can't change readOnly xml files.
Looks like a bug at Adobe's side. Frustrating.

I'm trying to use the Double Length Pseudolanguage to test potential layout problems with other languages. I've enabled Application Language -> Double Length PseudoLanguage in scheme editor but when I run the app in the simulator, none of the strings were doubled. I've tried preview editor in Storyboards and the strings stayed the same.
FYI: I have localized my app to two languages already, I have a Base language (English) and pt-br (Portuguese). All of my hardcoded strings were changed in code to use NSLocalizedString.
Try testing it on a real device.
Looks like this is a bug of the simulator on newer versions of Xcode.
This might sound completely unrelated to the topic, but believe me, I read the question correctly.
If you use AFNetworking pod, go to AFURLSessionManager.m -> _AFURLSessionTaskSwizzling implementation and comment out the line [localDataTask cancel]. If you use CocoaPods you might get a warning that you have to unlock editing of the file. That fixes it for me.
Having the same issue both with Xcode 7.3 and 8 Beta. If you run on iOS 8 simulator this seem to work. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
I work in a company that has an app in production with a localization bug in iOS 9 only. The app shows the key of the localized strings, not the values. Apparently, it can't found the corresponding string in the table. On iOS 8, the app works fine.
I don't know the source code well, but I made sure the file Localization.strings is there, in the right bundle, with the correct target. I'm pretty confident the resource is there, because of tests I made and mostly because the strings are there in iOS 8!
I looked for changes in APIs in iOS 9 but couldn't find anything related to my issue. I also ran the plutil command on all the .strings files and I got OK for all of them.
Any clue as to where to look?
It turns out the app was using multiple Localization.strings file for specific localizations (tweaking the bundle and Localization system). Deleting all those files (with duplicated names) and replacing it with another system (a plist file, mainly) made it work correctly.
It seems obvious there was a conflicting name issue here, but I'm still puzzled by the fact that it worked with older iOS (8 and under).
I'm trying to sign our BlackBerry app, but now it's asking for "RIMAPPSA2" signing key, which is the signing key for private APIs (which isn't allowed in the app world I assume). So I want to remove this requirement so I can actually run the app on devices.
There's nothing in the build log. My app does NOT use any of the following packages (which the internet suggests might be the issue):
net.rim.vm.Persistable
net.rim.vm.*
net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.*
net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.debug.*
net.rim.device.api.script.*
org.w3c.dom.jsp2.* <- actually is uses org.w3c.dom.*, but I've had an app not require this that already had this package in it.
net.rim.device.api.io.Seekable
And I'm not importing any external JARs (although I was before). I'm using the 4.5 JDE.
How can I find out what is making the signer tool require this signature?
Is there any way to track down what is causing this signature (RIMAPPSA2) to be required?
This might be due to a bug in Eclipse or RIM. You might not be using the RIMAPPSA2 classes.
OK, so its hard to believe but this page might fix the problem for some:
Frustrations with Blackberry Developer plugins for Eclipse
Basically its a bug, and by changing the Application Descriptor, saving, removing & re-adding the JAR file, the problem is fixed.
Follow-up #1 - might not work:
The above solution enabled me to build & sign the app. Unfortunately the app won't run on the phone Module 'MyApp" attempts to access a secure API.
Follow-up #2 - this worked for me:
I documented a full solution that worked for me here:
BlackBerry - use own JAR file in own project
In my case, I was importing my own JAR file, and I needed to set that project's build type to be a MIDLET. Setting it as LIBRARY or APPLICATION caused problems.
I've not tried it, as I am waiting for my signing key.
If you use eclipse, you can have following settings that can be turned off.
I've developed and application for iPhone. It works fine on os4 but it does not work on os3.1. In fact works but there are some problems; after splash screen a what screen appears. while I leaving the application I can see the application is opened successfully but just see while exiting.
So I wonder if there is a tool which says which apis have problems with os3.1? So I have a chance to replace them.
If you want to check a specific API, just run this in your code somewhere with an appropriate response. For example, to see if print is supported, run this...
if (NSClassFromString(#"UIPrintInfo")) {
}
Set your project's Base SDK to iphone-os-3-1, then build. All the error messages about classes, methods, and functions that don't exist must designate things added since iphone-os-3-1, since your project built and linked fine against the iphone-os-4-0 SDK.
If you don't have the iphone-os-3-1 SDK, try this instead:
Open your project's Build Settings.
Find the "Preprocessor Macros" setting.
Edit it and add __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED=30100
Now, try building. This should cause everything introduced after iOS 3.1 to be labeled unavailable, producing the same errors as if you had switched to the iphone-os-3-1 SDK.
It's a good idea to get a second installation of Xcode for this situation, in this case you need 3.2.1 with SDK 3.1.3 - I wish I could help you with a download link since it is no longer shown on Apple's page, but I have googled in the past and found direct, official download links which will work as long as you are signed in with your developer account, so good luck.
The annoying bit is that you need to go through your project files and set "Base SDK" to 3.1.3 and then back once you have completed the exercise. But it is the easiest way to flag what you can't do in 3.1.3. "sudo rm -rf" (I feel nervous even typing that) has an excellent method there but you need to have an inkling of what might be safe and what might not before you implement it or else you end up with code 10x the size it needs to be.
Apple really needs to sort out this issue - hopefully by flagging methods that are prior to your specified "Deployment Target", in the same way that deprecated methods are flagged.
I am tried deploying .cod,.alx.jar files on blackberry simulator 8100;the application is not getting deployed on phone.I am using Blackberry plugin for Eclipse.
How can I solve this issue?
Please help
Update
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to run the application the way you suggested.
Do I need to setup new run configuration every time I run any project?
What should be default value for build configuration ? [Debug,Private,or Release]
Copying the .cod files into the simulator's directory (where all the other .cod files are) and restarting the simulator will work.
Probably though you want to automatically deploy from Eclipse. If this isn't working for you, there are a couple of things to check:
Check that the project has been activated for BlackBerry - from the right-click menu for the project, make sure that Activate For BlackBerry is checked.
If that's already checked (as it is by default when you create a new BB project), then sometimes explicitly building the project will do the trick: From the Project menu, choose Build Active BlackBerry Simulation
EDIT: In response to some comments below I thought of something else. The configuration you choose may have something to do with your problems (BlackBerry -> Build Configurations). The configuration in the JDE Plug-in doesn't affect the code generated, but it does affect which projects are activated for BlackBerry. If you switch configurations, your project may become un-activated.
Since it doesn't affect the code, I usually just pick one configuration and stick with it throughout debugging and release.
You might be missing 'jar' in your PATH. If so, the eclipse BB plugin silently fails and your application won't be pushed to your simulator plugin directory. To see this failure within eclipse, choose 'Project > Build Active BlackBerry Simulation'.
If you don't have jar in your path, then you will see:
I/O Error: Cannot run program "jar": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified rapc executed for the project
So, if your JDK is here:
C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin
Then append it to your system environment's PATH variable, then re-run 'Build Active BlackBerry Simulation' and you should see:
rapc executed for the project [YOUR PROJECT]
Here are a couple of ideas:
1) If you have any build errors then the application won't deploy to the Simulator. The Eclipse compiler (that underlines compile errors in red) is different to the "rapc" one that creates the binary for the Simulator. I have heard of situations where the Eclipse build seems to work, but the rapc compile fails - check the Console for the detailed rapc output (this might not look like a normal Eclipse build error).
2) In the Eclipse menu, open BlackBerry -> Configure BlackBerry Workspace.
Under BlackBerry JDE choose Code Signing and make sure the three RIM checkboxes are selected. I had compile errors when these weren't selected.
Under BlackBerry JDE choose Installed Components. Choose to use the Component Package 4.7.0 as I have heard of problems with the 4.5.0 Simulator.
You should delete all these extra answers you posted, or you might get downvotes - they should be comments instead of answers.
Check if your simulator is set up to clean the file system / configuration before launching the simulator. Simulators can be set up like this. If you deactivate it, the application should not disappear.
For future readers, there is another possibility for this issue. Check your workbench project directory (folder) for a ProjectName.err file. This may provide a clue as to why your build is silently failing and thus not deploying. In my case, it was an "Error!907", a new icon I added to my project was too big. There was absolutely no other indications in Eclipse 3.4.1 that there was a problem in my build.
Just ran through the same kind of problem : project compiled fine but didn't deploy on any device or on any simulator, even though the debugger said it was attached !
The problem came from a .zip file that was located in the ./src directory of the project, deleting or moving it somewhere else resolved this case.
I wish I hadn't spend 2+ hours on such a stupid problem :/
I know this is old, but you have to do the "generate ALX" option from right clicking the project menu as well or it won't deploy, at least it doesn't for me.
I ran into the same problem again and none of answers posted here worked for me.
I played around and finally made it work. The problem was that the output file name contained a hyphen ('-'). Changing this name in the Build section of BlackBerry app descriptor did the trick.
I mean, how stupid a developer must be to slip that kind of bug. No error reported and why reject the names with hyphens in the first place? Give me back my two hours RIM "developers"!
I had the same problem. The reason was using 'ΓΌ' character in the title.
I have been facing this problem today, but with a MIDlet project. It turned out to be that I forgot to specify the "Name of main MIDlet class" in the BlackBerry Application Descriptor (BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml). Once I specified it the application appeared on the simulator correctly.
