New 64-bit compatibility rules

[rpurushotma]

With the new AIR SDK updated to meet Apple's new 64 bit requirements, I started getting the following error:

Error occurred while packaging the application:
Error: META-INF/ANE/iPhone-ARM/libSongPicker-iOS.a, are required to have universal iOS libraries. Please contact the ANE developer(s) to get the same.

Any chance of recompiling it with the AIR 16 Beta SDK?

I just rebuilt the ANE targeting iOS 8.1 which includes armv7 and arm64
I really don't know if it will solve the problem, just a guess. Let me
know...

I'm still getting the same message. In the AIR 16 release notes it says:

As many of you are aware, Apple has recently changed their iOS requirements to enforce 64-bit compatibility. We’re pleased to share that the AIR 16 SDK can now be used to generate universal IPA binaries, which will run on both 32bit and 64bit iOS devices. Going forward, every IPA generated using AIR SDK 16 and above will be a universal binary and there is no change required in the packaging commands for this support.

So, I'm guessing it's a matter of doing it with the SDK off http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html rather than the www.adobe.com one

ok you're right, I probably need to get the new AIR SDK and build the ane
with that.

Hi, do I need to use the current AIR 16 beta, or is the current release
(16.0.0.272) ok ?

According to the release notes the current release was January 13, 2015 , so, yeah, anything that recent should include all the updates :)

Ok I tried building the ANE with AIR 16.0, I see this message:

"Error: Apple App Store allows only universal applications. "libSongPicker-iOS.a" is not a universal binary. Please change build settings in Xcode project to "Standard Architecture" to create universal library/framework."

libSongPicker-iOS.a is the iOS library for the ane. I tried updating the Xcode project and rebuilding, but nothing seems to help. Do you have any more info about this? In the meantime, I'm pushing my latest build in case it works for some reason.

Was able to successfully build the ane with iOS standard architecture (I think). Let me know if it helps your cause.

Won't know for sure until submission, but so far it seems to all be going. Thanks!!
