Adobe AIR Support for Mac OS X Snow Leopard
17Today, Apple made Mac OS X Snow Leopard available for purchase. You may be asking: how well does the latest version of Adobe AIR (1.5.2) work with Snow Leopard? Based on our testing and feedback from customers, AIR applications appear to run fine on Snow Leopard. We have encountered one very minor issue that AIR developers may run into:
- Launching
adlwith the command./adland with the AIR SDKbindirectory set as your current directory fails with an error message that the runtime can't be found. This is easy to avoid, as basically every other form of invocation works: put adl on your path, use a relative path from a different directory, or use an absolute path.
If you encounter any issues with Snow Leopard, we most definitely want to hear about it! Please send us feedback with any details required to reproduce the issue: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/.

I'm just getting ready to install Snow Leopard, but there's another thing that has me concerned: Everytime I try to publish an AIR-Package from Flash (CS4) it gives me a prompt:
"Error creating AIR file"
"Usage error (incorrect arguments)."
And it also won't allow me to create a self-signed certificate (through Flash) as well, stating that:
"Creating self-signed certificate failed: Invalid country code - US" even though the country is set to it's default without touching this setting at all.
There's another thing that might be considered a bug, and it's present in all CS4 apps: Dragging an App's Application frame or window to the top, bottom or sides of the screen doesn't invoke Space to move the application to another space. Again this bug is also present in AIR as well.

AIR doesn't seem well prepared for the gamma change in 1.2 - no one noticed this? My ajax/html app is now *darker* on Mac than on Windows, seems to me like someone hardcoded the Mac gamma value instead of actually looking at the current color profile.

I have no idea. I haven't been able to find anything about it online.
I submitted it as a bug, using the link up in the post. I also posted about it in the AIR User Forum.

@Dave - Do you still encounter an error message when you publish an AIR-Package from Flash (CS4)?
We have done more investigations but we weren't able to reproduce it on Snow Leopard.
I sent an email to you and I will appreciate any feedback from your.

@Rob and Brian: What little I can find about CGContextSetFontRenderingMode suggests is a WebKit problem. I wonder if there's some app that Brian and I both have loaded that's making some change to WebKit? (Yes, I'm guessing here.)

This message can be safely ignored -- it is warning and not a weeoe with your application. According to the information I have gathered from our team, this is a message specific to OS X that an underlying OS function that AIR calls will be dropped in a future rev of the Mac OS. This can be safely ignored and we will address this in a future release of AIR. Please let me know if you have additional quesitons.

It seems that my AIR app crashes when loading a PDF into a new Native Window. I've installed this app on other non-snow leopard macs and windows XP / Vista and it won't crash.

I have tried all AIR applications available on the internet that deal with mp3 loading and playback. None of them seem to work. This is a universal bug on mac osx Snow Leopard.
