Posting Adobe AIR 3 App to Mac App Store Posting Adobe AIR 3 app to Mac app store Apple has changed Apple Mac App Store requirements and methodologies and that resulted in changes to the AIR run time itself. This document explains how to post updated AIR 3 applications to the Mac App store. Steps to Post an AIR 3 Application to the Mac App Store Packaging Your App Note: Posting an application to the Mac App Store requires manual steps. You need to have a Mac developer account with Apple. Package your app with a captive runtime; the Mac App Store only accepts self-contained apps and will not allow apps that use the shared AIR runtime. After packaging your .app bundle, manually open your Info.plist file in your favorite xml editor and add an LSApplicationCategoryType entry. The list of possible values is available here: https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/documents/submitting.html . Also add a 512x512 icon to your Icon.icns file. (Currently the adt tool does not support icons of this size on Mac.) You can use Icon Composer (available with the xcode tools) to resize. Apple places several restrictions to post on the Mac App Store. This includes: The locations an app can write to The APIs an app can use (non-public APIs arenot allowed) And the resources an app is allowed to use. The AIR runtime is being updated to meet these requirements. There are, however, some restrictions that will not be circumvented. To avoid rejection, your AIR app should avoid these restrictions. See ActionScript APIs and entitlements for a complete list of these restrictions. WebKit uses some non-public APIs that are not allowed on the Mac App Store. So you cannot use StageWebView, HTMLLoader, or any class in the flash.html package in your app. You will also need to manually remove WebKit.dylib and Flash Player.plugin from the Adobe AIR.framework/Resources subtree inside your app bundle. Additionally, if you are interested in decreasing the size of your app and you are not using any DRM functionality, you can manually remove Adobe AIR.vch, adobecp.plugin, adobecp.vch, and AdobeCP15.plugin from the Adobe AIR.framework/Resources subtree inside your app bundle. It is recommended that you use Mac OS 10.7 to upload your app. There is a bug in Mac OS 10.6 that prevents Apple’s Application Loader from successfully uploading your app with the AIR runtime. To from Mac OS 10.6, there is a workaround: Delete the “Resources” symbolic link in the AIR framework folder and create a true folder called “Resources”. Copy AIR’s Info.plist file (from Versions/1.0/Resources) into this new folder. Modify the original Info.plist file (inside Versions/1.0/Resources) by renaming the bundle id to com.adobe.AIR1. Installing Your App Once your app package is ready, launch Terminal, and do the following: 1. Install your Developer Application and Developer Installer certificates on the Keychain. Use Apple's Developer Certificate Utility to create and install the certificates. The developer certificates refer to the "WWDR Intermediate Certificate" and to the "Apple Inc. Root Certificate". These certificates are not required to be in the Keychain to sign an app. If needed, they can be obtained from Apple Root Certification Authority . 2. Sign your app with your Mac Application account certificate. textcodesign ­f ­s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: XXX" ­­ entitlements ZZZ.entitlements YYY.app where XXX is the name on your cert, YYY is the name of your app, and ZZZ is an entitlements file. The entitlements file provides the list or resources and features the app is allowed to access. See the Entitlement Key Reference for the entitlements file format. 3. Build a .pkg installer for your app that is signed with your Mac Installer account certificate. productbuild ­­component YYY.app /Applications ­­sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: XXX" YYY.pkg If you are missing the productbuild tool, make sure you have xcode 3.2.6 or above installed. 4. Delete or zip the .app file after productbuild has created the .pkg (otherwise the installer test doesn't work). 5. Install your app as if it came from the store. sudo installer ­store ­pkg YYY.pkg ­target / 6. Verify that your app is installed in Applications and is launchable. You are now ready to upload your app. Before doing so, you must create meta-data for your app on iTunes Connect. Log in using your Apple ID. Follow the Manage Your Applications link. And click the Add New App button to create the meta-data. Then, use Application Loader to upload the app for review. (Application Loader is part of Xcode tools, versions 3.2.6 and above. Application Loader is also available as a standalone download). You will find out right away if your application bundle is well formed, but it will take a few days to find out if Apple approved it or not. In particular, if you are using a self-signed certificate you may get the following warning from iTunes Connect: We have discovered one or more issues with your recent binary submission for "YYY". Your app has proceeded to review, but the following issues should be corrected in your next submission: Invalid Signature - the nested app bundle (YYY.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework) is not signed, the signature is invalid, or it is not signed with an Apple submission certificate.

  • Introduction to Xgrid: Cluster Computing for Everyone
    Introduction to Xgrid: Cluster Computing for Everyone Barbara J. Breen1, John F. Lindner2 1Department of Physics, University of Portland, Portland, Oregon 97203 2Department of Physics, The College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio 44691 (First posted 4 January 2007; last revised 24 July 2007) Xgrid is the first distributed computing architecture built into a desktop operating system. It allows you to run a single job across multiple computers at once. All you need is at least one Macintosh computer running Mac OS X v10.4 or later. (Mac OS X Server is not required.) We provide explicit instructions and example code to get you started, including examples of how to distribute your computing jobs, even if your initial cluster consists of just two old laptops in your basement. 1. INTRODUCTION Apple’s Xgrid technology enables you to readily convert any ad hoc collection of Macintosh computers into a low-cost supercomputing cluster. Xgrid functionality is integrated into every copy of Mac OS X v10.4. For more information, visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xgrid/. In this article, we show how to unlock this functionality. In Section 2, we guide you through setting up the cluster. In Section 3, we illustrate two simple ways to distribute jobs across the cluster: shell scripts and batch files. We don’t assume you know what shell scripts, batch files, or C/C++ programs are (although you will need to learn). Instead, we supply explicit, practical examples. 2. SETTING UP THE CLUSTER In a typical cluster of three or more computers (or processors), a client computer requests a job from the controller computer, which assigns an agent computer to perform it.

  • How to Disable Gatekeeper and Allow Apps from Anywhere in Macos Sierra
    How to Disable Gatekeeper and Allow Apps From Anywhere in macOS Sierra Gatekeeper, first introduced in OS X Mountain Lion, is a Mac security feature which prevents the user from launching potentially harmful applications. In macOS Sierra, however, Apple made some important changes to Gatekeeper that seemingly limit the choices of power users. But don’t worry, Gatekeeper can still be disabled in Sierra. Here’s how. Stand out at the party or promote your business with colorful powder coated and custom engraved Yeti tumblers from Perfect Etch. Traditionally, Gatekeeper offered three settings of increasing security: anywhere, App Store and identified developers, and App Store only. The first choice, as its name describes, allowed users to launch applications from any source, effectively disabling the Gatekeeper feature. The second choice allowed users to run apps from the Mac App Store as well as from software developers who have registered with Apple and securely sign their applications. Finally, the most secure setting limited users to running apps obtained from the Mac App Store only. While the secure options were good ideas for less experienced Mac users, power users found Gatekeeper to be too limiting and typically sought to disable it by setting it to “Anywhere.” In macOS Sierra, however, the “Anywhere” option is gone, leaving “App Store” and “App Store and identified developers” as the only two options. Disable Gatekeeper in macOS Sierra The Gatekeeper settings can be found in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. The Gatekeeper options are located beneath “All apps downloaded from:” with the choice of “Anywhere” missing. Thankfully, the “Anywhere” setting can be restored to Gatekeeper in Sierra with a Terminal command.
