Adobe AIR Development

[tayshun12]

Hi all,

I am following this guide to sign my application,

http://www.hsharma.com/tech/tutorials/10-easy-steps-to-package-and-sign-air-apps-for-playbook/

But I keep getting the following error,

"Manifest Error: invalid value '1.0.0.0' for application-requires-system" during step 10. I have read on this site

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/23959/Signing_your_application_1422721_11.jsp

that it may be because my business name is wrong, but I am almost certain that I inputted it correctly on the code-signing registration page.

I am using the latest version of the sdk 0.9.4.

thanks in advance for any replies!

hey tayshun,

check your -app.xml file and make sure that the version value is only 1.0.0 and nothing more. good luck!

[tayshun12]

thanks for such a quick reply! I tried that with no luck. I just realized that the publisher detail was commented in the file, so I am going to try to uncomment it and put my business name.

[tayshun12]

no luck... im going to reapply for keys and restart from there

hey,

i just went looking a little bit. other users have run into the same problem. verify that your application is defintiely being complied with the 0.9.4 SDK (flash builder / burrito) and you are using the 0.9.4 tools. good luck!

Hello,

  would you post your -app.xml file, and also your bb-tablet.xml ?

I think this may help spotting what's wrong.

well I made my app solely in flash cs5, exported it as a .swf file, then converted it using blackberry tools. Would it make a differnce with my publishing settings in flash? I have not set anything there besides the app name. Is there a way to import to flash builder and compile?

[JRab]

ah if you only used Flash CS5 then the only time you need ot make sure you are using the newest SDK is when you are packaging i think.

blackberry-tablet.xml. I copied it from the website in my first post but changed it to my needs.

<qnx>
  <initialWindow>
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    <transparent>false</transparent>
  </initialWindow>
  <publisher>MusicIsMe</publisher>
  <category>core.lifestyle</category>
  <icon>
    <image>blackberry-tablet-icon.png</image>
  </icon>
</qnx>

I also removed splash screen within the file. I dont know if that makes a difference.

Please double check that you don't have an earlier version of the SDK installed (below 0.9.4) that might be being used.  This is an error from previous versions that has been resolved in 0.9.4.
