Compiling AIR iOS .ipa with ADT from the command line

I'm using Adobe AIR SDK 17 and I'm new to compiling with the command line. The following .ipa compiling works as long as all files are in the ADT bin folder:

./adt -package -target ipa-app-store -storetype pkcs12 -keystore iOS7.p12 -provisioning-profile Africa_DragDrop_iPad.mobileprovision Africa_iPad.ipa Africa_iPad-app.xml Africa_iPad.swf AfricaIcon29.png AfricaIcon40.png AfricaIcon48.png AfricaIcon50.png AfricaIcon57.png AfricaIcon58.png AfricaIcon72.png AfricaIcon76.png AfricaIcon80.png AfricaIcon100.png AfricaIcon114.png AfricaIcon120.png AfricaIcon128.png AfricaIcon144.png AfricaIcon152.png AfricaIcon512.png AfricaIcon1024.png Default-Landscape.png

I would like to put all files in a seperate folder in bin, e.g; myfiles, for a better overview. I changed my command line code to:

./adt -package -target ipa-app-store -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myfiles/iOS7.p12 -provisioning-profile myfiles/Africa_DragDrop_iPad.mobileprovision myfiles/Africa_iPad.ipa myfiles/Africa_iPad-app.xml myfiles/Africa_iPad.swf myfiles/AfricaIcon29.png myfiles/AfricaIcon40.png myfiles/AfricaIcon48.png myfiles/AfricaIcon50.png myfiles/AfricaIcon57.png myfiles/AfricaIcon58.png myfiles/AfricaIcon72.png myfiles/AfricaIcon76.png myfiles/AfricaIcon80.png myfiles/AfricaIcon100.png myfiles/AfricaIcon114.png myfiles/AfricaIcon120.png myfiles/AfricaIcon128.png myfiles/AfricaIcon144.png myfiles/AfricaIcon152.png myfiles/AfricaIcon512.png myfiles/AfricaIcon1024.png myfiles/Default-Landscape.png

I can't compile the .ipa anymore because of a missing files error. (Africa_iPad.swf is missing etc) I guess my path it wrong? What do I need to change?

Solution

  • Check all the paths inside Africa_iPad-app.xml. I think, anyway, you should keep your xml and keys outside myfiles because you may get double references (as per see myfiles/myfiles). Other way: use absolute paths (like /something/other/adtbinfolder/myfiles) and see if it still complains.

    For reference to different subfolders use -C as per documentation (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html ):

      adt –package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 myApp.air release/bin/myApp-app.xml  
   –C release/bin myApp.swf (or myApp.html) 
   –C ../artwork/myApp images  
   –C ../libraries/release libs
