Small issue I just ran into working on a group XCode project - I was greeted by the message "Code Sign error: The identity 'iPhone Developer' doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default keychain". Simple fix, by going to > Project settings/ overview > Targets (select the target file) > Under Code Signing make sure your developer certificate is selected and not that of the project author that may have overwritten yours as in our case using GIT.
The WCK framework is something I used recently on the Blackberry Playbook version my Susie Starfish app. Moving into the world of physics is a big step for any flash dev and I feel the WCK framework is a good way to get up to speed on some of the basics.
Moving onwards I wanted to be able to appreciate how the framework works a little more so I could begin to program aspects myself through pure code in a way that was more familiar to me than the Box2DAS port. My reasoning is that I just wanted to be a little more in control for when I come to memory management and the general interactivity of the project. The following code snippet is a quick example of a box falling onto the ground and firing off the events related to such an activity.
Finally managed to get the debug running on my Playbook/ Mac setup - initially I thought it was something to do with Little Snitch or a firewall setting. Anyhow... to find the correct debugger IP go to >Flash Builder >Preferences >Target Platforms and use the IP address from the drop down (in my case I used the en1) and voila - your debug statements will appear in the console!
Just a small issue relating to publishing to the Playbook from Flash Builder 4.5. When launching the application onto the device you are greeted by a nice error telling you of an "ApplicationModeMismatchError."
The fix that worked for me was to go into your "Run Configurations" ( > Run > Run Configurations) and uncheck the "Clear application data on each launch" option - then run the app, then go back and recheck it.
Having freelanced for over 18 months now I find it interesting to see how different companies work and the tools their development teams use. Here is a quick insight into some of the tools I use in my everyday Flash development work. These views are in no way advisory but offer an insight into the tools I use most often and most helpful in my work flow.
This is a small issue I seem to run into when I use the Flash CS5 IDE. I'll create a text field at some point in the project only to come back the next day to find that it won't display the text. Only something I can put down to as a glitch in Flash. A simple fix I found today was to move the file and reopen it - and yep.. the fonts come back. No idea why but seems to be an issue a few people have run into, hope this helps some people out.
I received my free PlayBook a couple of days ago and wanted to share my own personal views on the device and development process. Now we all know this hasn't been the smoothest of journeys for these guys - with a lot of flack from developers...
First opinions of the device are good, looks nice, feels good in the hand etc. It's only after a little bit of use where the small things become apparent. Now those that know me will know I'm a bit of an Apple fan - I've had my issues with various Apple devices but for the inconvenience the rest of the package keeps me a happy user. Initial factors to note are the lack of email client (something that will be rectified soon) and I have noticed not all sites work on the device (e.g. The FWA). Being a Flash compatible device I was expecting the PlayBook to replicate web browsing on my main machine with a few usability limitations due to the the device's size.
Over the last couple of weeks I've had some free time on my hands and wanted to see what was going on in the Flash community of late. It seems like the guys on the Adobe Evangelist team have got it right when they said the year would be a good one for Flash devs (not that any of us were sweating right!). With lots of cool projects on the Flash horizon I thought I'd put together a quick post on some interesting projects I'd been able to play with and those I'd seen on the radar.
With the release of the new Air 2.6 SDK yesterday I wanted to see what performance improvements had been made. After a couple of hours playing with Ant scripts I managed to get this example up and running on my iPhone4.
