Adobe AIR Development

** As per request during Port a Thon event **

I can successfully use the Graphical AID to build and install an AIR app, fully signed.

However I cannot debug it.

1/  Can it be debugged in a command window while being installed from the Graphical AID ?

2/ If 1  is not an option, how to do it via commanline install?

I have tried:

blackberry-airpackager -target bar-debug -connect [YOUR COMPUTER'S IP ADDRESS] -package HelloWorld.bar -installApp -launchApp HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf [ICON FILE NAME] -device [PLAYBOOK IP ADDRESS] -password [SIMULATOR PASSWORD]

But I get this error:

failure  881  required signatures missing <RDK, AUTHOR>

The Tablet OS Graphical Aid doesn't support debugging.  You can debug from Adobe Flash Builder or Flash Develop with the BlackBerry AIR SDKs added.  Download them here:  https://developer.blackberry.com/air/download/

OK..  no GA..  thats fine.

This app was created in Flash IDE. Can it still be debugged in FlashBuilder?

Also, command line is an option but I cannot get it to work. Help please.

By getting debugging working, maybe I can eliminate the other questions I have for you during the portathon.

Crazy 36 hours you guys are running there BTW.

Easiest is to debug from Flash Builder. Just set the debug target IP back to your PC. I find that it takes too long for the device to discover the IDE host.

I have never debugged from FlashBuilder before and instructions I have found are old.

Is there any current instructions out there> Adding my device would be a great start.

Under Debugger, select "Debug Configuration..."

Select + icon to add a new configuration from the active project

Select BlackBerry for target platform

Select "On device".

You may need to add a test device.  I have one for WiFi (Dev Alpha) and Simulator.

Give them the name and their IP address.  It has auto detect feature that you might be able to use.  This is where you can enter the credentials and "Debug Host IP".  I uncheck "Automatically determine debug host IP" and enter the IP of my host machine.

Save the configuration from the Apply button.

Then "Debug" from here.  After this, you can just press the debug button in the tool bar.

Thank you  but   this is not a FlashBuilder application.

It was created in Flash. I have a finished signed BAR installed on the device.

There is no  'Active Project'.

Then you will need to debug via the command line. I am not familiar with that method.

MSohm, I am hoping you can still get back to me about this sometime. Thanks

From this thread I got the impression you were able to get the commandline debug flow up and running with the graphical aid; can you give more details on where you are in the process/what problems you're having?
