Hi everyone

I have this flex mobile application and I can't make it compile.

When i execute "gradle compileFlex" i got the error

Definition ie.jampot.nativeExtensions:MobileBackup could not be found.

turn that this class came from a ANE that I put in a directory and also I defined the extensionDir as shown

airMobile { extensionDir = 'src/main/extensions' platform = 'ios' target = 'ipa-debug' }

Can someone exaplin what am I doing wrong...

Regards!

   Your code snipped looks ok.

   When using ANE's you also have to declare them in your application descriptor file:
   
   com.example.MyExtension

   For more info see Adobe's documentation: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS597e5dadb9cc1e0253f7d2fc131...

   Hi!

   Sure I did declare them on the app.xml file!

   I have five ANE's and no one are recognized

   "extensionDir" is used during the packaging phase by adt. However, during the compilation phase the mxmlc/compc compiler also needs to know the class. Therefore you also have to specify it as a dependency (notice the 'ext' property):

   dependencies {
      external group: 'org.mycompany', name: 'myane', version: '1.0', ext: 'ane'
   }

   It make sense!

   But from where does gradle resolve the dependencies?

   Do I need to upload the ane files to a binaries repository?

   by default Grade will pull the dependencies from a remote ivy/maven repository.
   However, you can also define file-based dependencies which resolve to a file in your project folder.
