Hi, I'm trying to set github token by call apm config set github_token ghp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX but getting the error message: ERROR: No output file specified.

Hello, I have met a fatal error. What I did is nothing but removed iab samsung variant and replace it by amazon variant. And then I did call apm update, I got the error message:

CONFLICT :: fatal error : found [1] conflicting packages
CONFLICT :: com.distriqt.playservices.Base
CONFLICT :: ├── 18.0.1 required by: [email protected]
CONFLICT :: └── 17.5.1 required by: [email protected]
install :: 

And then the gameservice ane got removed. And I couldn't install it.
Here's the full output:

And this is my config file.

Hi, I just followed the post "Migrating to the AIR Package Manager" and setup 2 additional description files (AndroidManifest.xml and InfoAdditions.xml), but I find the content is not getting merged into my final description file. Do I need to set the relative path for these 2 files?

p.s.
When I execute the cmd apm generate app-descriptor, I didn't see the output like Merging with supplied main manifest: config/android/AndroidManifest.xml

Add the ability to specify different project build configurations to allow different values to be used by the generate commands (eg inserted into the application descriptor).

Currently we have:

"configuration": {
    "packageParam": "12345678"
}

It could be turned into something like:

"configuration": {
    "packageParam": "12345678"
},
"buildTypes": {
    "debug": {
        "configuration": {
            "packageParam": "AAAAABBBBB"
        },
    },
    "release": {
    }
}

We will need a way to specify the configuration to use when building and the values in there would then override the default configuration values.

I completed all the steps required for apm, but when I run apm -version i get zsh: command not found: apm

what could be wrong?

In our apm repo, I have 2 packages named feathersui-source and feathersui-starling-compat.

[email protected] has a dependency over [email protected]

My project already has feathersui-source installed.

When I try to install feathersui-starling-compat it wouldn't do it, because feathersui-source version is larger that featherui-starling-compat version (which makes no sense, so I guess it's just confused).

$ apm install feathersui-starling-compat
[email protected]
Already installed: [email protected] [fovea] >= 1.0.0

feathersui-starling-compat/package.json

{
  "id": "feathersui-starling-compat",
  "name": "Feathers Starling Compat",
  "url": "https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/feathersui-starling-compat",

  "dependencies": ["[email protected]", "starling-source:2.7.0"],
  "parameters": [],
  "tags": ["components", "gui", "starling", "ui", "widgets"]
}

This fails (using the tabulation character to indent XML attributes):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application
	xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/18.0"
	minimumPatchLevel="0">

This works (using space to indent the XML attributes):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application
 xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/18.0"
 minimumPatchLevel="0">
	<id>com.example.app</id>
</application>

Side note: I improved a tiny bit the application descriptor validation, so it returns the detail of the error (incoming PR). It says: "<id> tag not found" when it fails in the above case.

The manifest merger task stays running forever (when run by apm)

I need to CTRL-C to stop execution, but then the tasks are still running (and accumulate).

ps aux showed that I had 8 processes running like this one:

/usr/bin/java -jar "/Users/jeko/Library/Application Support/airsdk.apm/Local Store/tools/manifest-merger-30.0.1.jar" --main /tmp/xxx/.tmp538437/AndroidManifest.xml --property PACKAGE=air.com.my.app --remove-tools-declarations

When ran manually, it exits almost immediately and show the result on the console.

It occasionally succeeds though, might it be a race condition?

Also, apm should make sure it kills it child processes when it is killed.

For some reason I need to keep re-running: . ~/.bashrc - in every new window else, apm is not found.

Ok, main issue though, I keep getting the message:

There was an issue accessing the package, this is a private package so check you have a valid license and that you have correctly set your github access token

I set the token in my git profile, I updated my keychain -- is there somewhere in apm i'm missing to set something for git?

Allow multiple repositories to be configured for a project

Repositories can be specified in the repositories section of the project.apm eg:

"repositories": [
        { 
            "name": "airnativeextensions",   
            "location": "https://airnativeextensions.com/repository"
        }
    ]

Merge the InfoAdditions and Entitlements from packages into the application descriptor

apm somehow changes the format of localized descriptions.

In config/application-descriptor.xml, we have:

  <description>
    <text xml:lang="en">My App</text>
    <text xml:lang="fr">Mon App</text>
  </description

After apm generate app-descriptor, in src/Test-app.xml we have:

  <description>
    <text aaa:lang="en" xmlns:aaa="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">My App</text>
    <text aaa:lang="fr" xmlns:aaa="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">Mon App</text>
  </description>

Unfortunately, the second format is not recognized by adt, which fails with error 100: Descriptor cannot be parsed. Changing manually to the original format in the generated file solves the issue, but isn't a practical solution.

Here we aim to generate Android Manifest and iOS InfoAdditions/Entitlements config files that can be used as additional fields merged into the main app descriptor. ie.

project.apm
config
|___ android
  |___ AndroidManifest.xml
|___ ios
  |___ InfoAdditions.xml
  |___ Entitlements.xml

This should use some well formatted template that contains standard fields for the platforms, eg

• minimum / target sdk versions for android
• minimum ios version

This should make it easier for user's to add their own additions to the relevant app descriptor sections.

Ability to use a local airpackage, i.e. not downloaded from the repository.

When installing Firebase, seeing the following -- does this mean that this needs to be resolved, or I can simply continue?

Hi!

Currently our game have there platform-specific projects: iOS, Android and Amazon.
Projects on each platform have different lists of ANEs inside.
So it would be nice to have some platform argument in apm init to keep descriptor clean and do not download redundant ANEs on install stage.
For example, now we have about 130 strings in descriptor for iOS, 550+ for Android and 450+ for Amazon.
And it feels dirty when iOS project has much more Android strings the iOS ones.

During apm install, downloading one of the dependencies did timeout.

However apm went on to the end without reporting an error: except a x symbol next to the package name when it tried downloading. The package wasn't installed, so the next steps in the build chain failed.

apm install should keep a log of errors when doing apm install, display them at the end of the process and exit with a non-zero code if there where any.

Sorry to create the 1st issue (of course it had to be me 😅 ). Giving it a try in several projects but i get the same "application descriptor not found".

I tried in Flex and Feathers projects (I dont have any pure as3 ones to test) and both in project folder and src.

Edit: On side note i believe this is an issue with apm itself and not the fact it doesnt find the decriptor

We need a contributing guide to outline the process of adding to this tool

Hi, this is surely not an issue. I just don't know where to put this piece of info.
I find that Memory ANE is missing from the repo. For the time being I will just manually add it but it would be nice to have it in the repo.

Hi, I'm trying to uninstall the facebook ane by calling uninstall, and here's the output:

$ apm uninstall com.distriqt.facebook.Core

I tried to regenerate the description file and these anes are also listed in the extensions section.

Sorry, don't know where else to ask, and didn't find any obvious spot on the web where this question is answered.

So, assuming that I have a general-use SWC library, and it is hosted here on GitHub, and I would like to publish it as a package that is discoverable and installable through apm, how do I proceed?

Thank you.

On my setup, apm install takes more than 10 minutes to complete, even when all the dependency are already installed. There are approximately 50 packages in apm_packages.

If a package with the correct version is already found in the cache, apm install should go over it very quickly. For now, it looks like it's checking with the server and re-extracting it.

Iterating is very time consuming, when debugging stuff like https://github.com/distriqt/ANE-Firebase/issues/387

It also makes CI builds very slow, because they have to run apm install, just in case a new dependency has been added.

When publishing a package where the sourceUrl is private (in a private git repo), I get this error: source url returned 404

However, I'm able to install packages from private repos (namely those from Distriqt).

The github token is set in the apm config file.

Since I'm publishing into an internal apm repository, I wouldn't mind having an option to disable the sourceUrl test.

For now, the project configuration allows replacing variables like so:

${somevar} gets replaced with project.configuration.somevar.

Some thoughts.

1. conditionals

If would be nice to be able to some thing like this:

${ env = "production" ? somevar : someothervar }

2. application descriptor

Shouldn't the application descriptor be a template too?

3. overrides

Instead of modifying the project when building for different targets, allow the project configuration to be overriden with environment variables. I'm preparing PR with this idea. (Done #43)

I get an error when trying to generate the app descriptor.

$ apm generate app-descriptor
Android package name: air.xxx.xxx.xxx
⣾ Android manifest merging
generate/app-descriptor :: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

Well, that could very well be because I didn't read the whole documentation. Anyway, knowing which parameter is invalid would be helpful (instead of One of the parameters is invalid).

Here's the project.apm file.

After execute apm init nothing happens.

Packages parameters are defined with an ID and a default value. A nice addition would be some text description.

Currently:

$ apm project config
apsEnvironment=development
facebookAutoInitEnabled=true

My idealized output:

$ apm project config

# Apple push notifications environment (development | production)
apsEnvironment=development

# Tell the Facebook SDK not to initialize automatically
# See https://docs.airnativeextensions.com/docs/facebookapi/core/initialise-the-extension
facebookAutoInitEnabled=true

--

In package.json this could be done like so:

{
  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "facebookAutoInitEnabled",
      "defaultValue": "true",
      "description": "Tell the Facebook SDK not to initialize automatically\nSee https://docs.airnativeextensions.com/docs/facebookapi/core/initialise-the-extension"
    }
  ]
}

Application names can be localized in the application descriptor, cf https://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSD079A3A2-1B38-4543-A792-06594E4325FE.html

I did set localized names in config/application-descriptor.xml, however the value is erased by apm generate application-descriptor (which doesn't support localization).

build.config probably shouldn't be part of the git repository, and should be .gitignore-d, since it's different for everyone it risks getting committed by mistake when there is a contribution.

There should be a build.config.example file, to show what should go in it.

If a package's sourceUrl is set to any URL that contains the string github.com, the token is attached to the request.

cf:

possible abuse

By setting the sourceUrl to: https://www.evil.com/releases/assets/github.com/package_1.0.0.airpackage

The publisher / owner of the evil.com domain can then collect github tokens from people downloading the package.

possible solution

Check that the download URL starts with https://api.github.com/

I'll test this and submit a PR. (Done: #36)

Integrate a method for apm to update itself.

I understand why id and versionNumber are pulled from the project config file, they're a bit of a special because they're probably the only fields absolutely required to get a valid application descriptor (when not using a source application-descriptor.xml I mean)

In our case, I would rather not use the values in the project.apm file and use values in the source xml file. However even setting them to null in the project config, it always erases the values I set.

Hello, When I run apm -version, I'm getting the warning message which: no adl in (./F:\AIRSDK/bin).
I'm on Win7 and have properly setup environment variable and path. (adl command works)

I noticed that the warning message used backslash. Shouldn't it be a forward slash on windows? Thanks!

We have apps without the prefix: air. but the apm always put the prefix air.

How to avoid this prefix?

After using apm to generate application descriptor sometimes the android:label attribute is left on the main application tag.

This causes an issue with the AIR build:

error 404: Android attribute android:label is not allowed to be overridden

Add the ability to specify a range or minimum version for a dependency, so a package will select the latest release within certain version constraints.

After an error in generate app-descriptor, I ended up with an empty app descriptor.

Subsequent calls to apm generate app-descriptor where failing silently (keeping the empty file as-is), took me a few iteration to realize I did indeed fix my issue, but had to delete the app descriptor xml file for apm to create a new one.

Steps to reproduce:

$ mkdir xxx
$ cd xxx
$ apm init
Creating new project definition file
Application Identifier [com.my.app]:
Application Name [My Application]:
Application Version [1.0.0]:
$ mkdir src
$ touch src/MyApplication-app.xml
$ apm generate app-descriptor

MyApplication-app.xml is still empty.

NOTE: the error went away after I made the below change and regenerated the application manifest

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="30" />

(used to be minSdkVersion="21")

I get this error when packaging an APK.

dx tool failed:no main manifest attribute, in /Users/jeko/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/30.0.3/lib/d8.jar

Note that packaging an AAB works.

My guess is that "no main manifest attribute" means there's something wrong with the generated AndroidManifest.xml. I'm investigating.

Hi, I generated the description file but found the aspectRatio was missing from initalWindow section. Is there a way to add it? I need to set it to landscape. Thanks.
I'd also need to set depthAndStencil to true, and set autoOrients value.

The airsdk commands fail. The root of the issue is in Harman's /releases API [1].

A note about this, I guess it would be nice if the apm-repository had an API endpoint that proxies those requests to Harman:

1. If the API URL changes, it can be fixed for everyone by changing the apm server configuration (no need to deploy a new version of the client).
2. If the format of the response changes, it could be fixed server-side too.
3. It could also do some caching and contain an hard coded fallback response:
   • so that in case the upstream API is unreachable (like it is now) or provides an incorrect response, apm airsdk would still work.

Hi, I would like to add additional string values for the key CFBundleURLSchemes in the infoAddtions section. I added my additional strings in the InfoAdditions.xml and then generated the description file which looks like this:

<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>this_is_the_one_I_inserted</string>
    </array>

  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>fbxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</array>

Is it correct or these 2 strings should be combined into the same array? Thanks!
p.s. the FB part is auto generated as I'm using the FB ane.

Hello, the apm suddently stopped working. When I try to run apm update, it outputs Package Updates Available (0) (empty)
Running apm update apm outputs the same thing.
p.s. apm -v not only prints apm's version, but also npm,node,python etc.

Add the ability to exclude a platform when generating the application descriptor so an application that is iOS doesn't have the android manifest additions:

eg

apm generate app-descriptor src/Main-app.xml —exclude-android

How to run from source?

Short answer

1. Run ant bootstrap
2. Run ant build
3. Use apm located into client/out

Trying to run the tools from the git repo, it doesn't detect my project configuration file:

# cloned repository, can't run
$ ~/github/apm/client/src/apm help
initial content not found

# installed from releases, it will run
$ ~/tools/apm/apm help
apm <command>
...

Hey guys so it's a simple question I can't seem to find the cmd line to edit my descriptor file package name I thought i filled out the information correctly however It is adding double the 'air' name in the package xml as shown:

<provider android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider" android:authorities="air.air.StackCats.androidx-startup" android:exported="false">

So I have to go through the xml and delete the extra 'air' on the lines that contain the package name.
