packageMobile task problem

Hi guys,

my problem is when I'm using packageMobile task with target=ipa-test-interpreter I can see folder 'build/myswf.swf' inside root folder of IPA package. When I use target=ipa-test then 'build' folder is missing and myswf.swf is inside root forlder of IPA. Application description file has tag <content>build/myswf.swf</content>. I do not receive any errors during packaging but when I start IPA on the actual phone package 'target=ipa-test' does not start because of META-INF/AIR/application.xml is always pointing to 'build/myswf.swf' instead of 'myswf.swf'.

When I include swf in packaging script then IPA always has two swfs inside. One inside build folder and another inside root folder. That does not make any sense.

When I use <content>myswf.swf</content> inside description file I am receiving error "missing root content swf"

Thanks
Daniel

   Hi Daniel,

   Can you post your GradleFx configuration? Because I can't find the cause of this issue based on our code.

   Thanks,
   Yennick

   Hi Yennick,

   I am using Gradle 1.11 and GradleFX 0.8.2. Basically whole process is made of two steps. First step downloads project from SVN (source code and relevant assets) and then starts second step which is separate build script. When the first step is done then there is created folder tree and downloaded certain files from SVN including other gradle build script and settings file:

   -Project/
   --------swc library 1/
   ------------src/
   -----------Build.gradle
   --------swc library 2/
   ------------src/
   ------------Build.gradle
   --------swc library 3/
   ------------src/
   ------------Build.gradle
   --------ane extensions/
   --------main project/
   ------------src/
   ------------Build.gradle
   --------Build.gradle
   --------Settings.gradle

   In settings file I say to gradle a set of sub projects:
   Include swc library 1 swc library2 swc library 3 etc..
   In build script:

   buildscript {
   repositories {
   mavenCentral()
   }
   dependencies {
   classpath group: "org.gradlefx", name: "gradlefx", version: "0.8.2"
   }
   }
   subprojects {
   apply plugin: 'gradlefx'
   apply plugin: 'flashbuilder'
   flexHome = rootProject.flexHomeDir
   additionalCompilerOptions = rootProject.compilerOptions.split("\\|")
   type = "swc"
   }

   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   Each build script inside swc library is basically:
   dependencies{
   external project(':swc library 1')
   }
   //PROJECT TYPE
   type = 'swc'
   //SOURCE FOLDER
   srcDirs = ['/src']
   ------------------------------------------------------------------

   Main project’s build script is:
   dependencies{
   external files(
   '../ane extensions/ane extensions 1.swc',
   '../ane extensions/ane extensions 2.swc ',
   '../ane extensions/ane extensions 3.swc ',
   '../ane extensions/ane extensions etc...swc '
   )
   merged project(':swc library 1)
   merged project(': swc library 2)
   merged project(': swc library 3)
   merged project(': swc library etc..)
   }
   //PROJECT TYPE: MOBILE
   type = 'mobile'
   //FB 4.7 BY DEFAULD MERGES FRAMEWORK
   frameworkLinkage = 'merged'
   //PROJECT MAIN APP FILE
   mainClass = 'projectnamemainclass.mxml'
   //CERTIFICATE AND ITS PASSWORD
   //PROJECT DESCRIPTION FILE AND ASSETS WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN FINAL PACKAGE
   air {
   keystore = 'ios_certificate.p12'
   storepass = 'xxxxx'
   
   applicationDescriptor = 'src/main/actionscript/'projectnamemainclass -app.xml'
   
   includeFileTrees = [
           fileTree(dir: 'src/main/actionscript/', include: '*.png')
   ]
   }
   //PROVISIONING PROFILE
   //PACKAGE PLATFORM, TYPE AND EXTENSIONS (ANES)
   //THERE WILL BE USED ADT TOOL TO PACKAGE FINAL PACKAGE. ADT IS USING ANES WITH 'ANE' EXTENSION
   airMobile {
   provisioningProfile = 'Provisioning_Profile.mobileprovision'
   platform = 'ios'
   outputExtension = 'ipa'
   target = rootProject.packageTarget
   extensionDir = '../ane extensions/libs/'
   }
   //DESKTOP SIMULATOR SETTINGS
   adl {
   profile = 'mobileDevice'
   screenSize = 'iPad'
   }

   ------------------------------------------------------------------
   File descriptor inside main project:
   <content>build/swf.swf</content>
   ------------------------------------------------------------------

   When I run gradle packageMobile with set target = ipa-test-interpreter then I can see build/swf.swf inside IPA package and app starts well. But when I set target = ipa-app-store then swf.swf is in root folder of IPA package and build folder is missing, app does not start.

   Many thanks
   Daniel

   I've been looking at our GradleFx code(*1) and at the AIR documentation(*2), but I can't find why it goes wrong.
   We use the following statement to add the swf to the ipa package:

   addArgs "${project.buildDir.name}/${flexConvention.output}.${FlexType.swf}"
   

   This is the same for every mobile package that's being compiled, so I would expect the output to be the same. Unless AIR threats this in a different way, but they don't state something like that in their documentation.

   Sadly I don't have an iOS developer account, so no way to create a provisioning profile and an iOS test application (got an Android phone). So I can only base myself on the code/documentation.

   Hi Yennick Trevels,

   many thanks for your support. I commented that line inside plugin and manually added swf in build script. Now everything works as expected. I didn't test packing apk package. That will be my next step

   Regards
   Daniel

   Hi Yennick Trevels.

   I have the same issue like Daniel was described.
   Could you please remove adding swf to adl params. it will more flexible and every developer can set it like he want
