How do I Install the Crunch app for Adobe Air? - air

I never used anything Air but Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge, and they both have installer packages.

I'm running Windows 7 and I followed these steps below.
Download crunchapp from http://crunchapp.net/ and extract to any location
Install Adobe Air SDK by going to their site.
Unzip it to appropriate folder (I extracted to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe AIR SDK)
Right-click on "My Computer" in the Start menu and select Properties.
Click on "Advanced System Settings" on the left hand side menu
Select "Environment Variables" and add two new system variables as below
adl
[change path to your extracted Adobe AIR SDK\bin\adl.exe file]
(I used - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe AIR SDK\bin\adl.exe )
adt
[change path to your extracted Adobe AIR SDK\bin\adt.bat file]
(I used - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe AIR SDK\bin\adt.bat )
RESTART PC (this caught me out)
Open command Line Interface and navigation to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe AIR SDK\bin\
type in adl [full path to Crunch folder]application.xml
Enjoy Crunch!!!!

In my Windows machine, this is what I did just now (because, I also did not know where to start):
You need to download the Adobe Air SDK
Extract its content and I followed this: http://chisflorinel.blogspot.com/2007/06/installing-adobe-air-on-windows-vista.html
After that, I opened my command line, then went to the Crunch! folder, then type the command:
adl application.xml

How can I debug/fix a crash with the Worklight 6.2 CLI installer?

I've downloaded a copy of the Worklight CLI installer from here, specifically the installer for 6.2.0.1 (I'm aware this isn't current, I need an older version to debug a specific problem). I am attempting to install it on OS X Mountain Lion (10.9).
However, I seem to be having problems installing it. When I unzip the installer, I get an install_mac.app/ directory. I open this with open install_mac.app from the Terminal. However, when I've clicked the button to enter the administrator password (which is accepted), the installer then shows this screen for about 5 seconds, then disappears completely (is no longer running). It appears that at this point it has crashed (although there is no stack trace or similar in the terminal).
How can I debug/fix the installer? Alternatively, is there a way to manually install the CLI?
My $JAVA_HOME is set to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version gives:
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
On OS X the CLI installer does not provide the ability to install from command line.
However what you could do is to manually extract it instead of using the installer, and in order to compensate on the actions that the installer is doing (node registration, PATH handling), put the extracted content at the same location of the currently installed CLI. Replace it.
The above .zip is inside the "resources" folder, next to the OS X/Windows/Linux installer files.

Can't install published Adobe AIR application

Hi I create a flash game using adobe flash player 6 (AIR).
If I test it using "Test Scene", it run very well.
I set it to run on Adobe AIR desktop target 3.2 (my PC is 4.0)
I publish the game in format .air and create a certificate.
The problem : I can't install my game (in AIR package) on my computer.
The warning is:The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
I already use administrator account but it does n't work. Can you help me??
I found the solution. It is because my system clock is not accurate and I use self certificate (using time stamp).
So, I must repair my system clock and publish adobe AIR application again with new certificate.

Install SQL Developer mac osx 10.9.1

i'm trying to install Oracle's SQL Developer in my macbook pro OSX 10.9.1 but I can't understand how to do it. I download a .gz file which I unzip to get an installer but all I have is an unknown file called sqldeveloper-4.0.0.13-1.80-macosx. It is not a .dmg or something so i don't know what to do whith it.
I've read that i'm supposed to run over the extracted directory something like sh sqldeveloper.sh from the terminal but that file isn't there, just the one mentioned above.
thanks
Extraction problem, "The Unarchiver" utility produced the unknown file, I decompressed the file download from Oracle's website with the Archive Utility and I got the installation file

how to find the exact version of the installed AIR SDK

The AIR SDK is usually only referenced by major and minor version number, but there are important differences in the numbers way to the right.
How can I inspect my installed SDK and know for certain which exact version it is?
If you're on Windows:
Navigate to the location of the AIR SDK.
Open the /bin/ subdirectory. You should see a file named adl.exe.
Right-click on adl.exe and select Properties from the context menu.
In the Properties dialog, click the Details tab.
The Details tab contains a property named "File Version" with a value that shows the full version of the AIR SDK (e.g., 3.5.0.1060).
If you're on a Mac (or on Windows), you could just create a bare-bones AIR app and add this line of ActionScript:
trace(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimeVersion);
When you test the file in your IDE of choice, you should see the full AIR SDK version in your IDE's output panel.
Mac OS X
Open the /Library/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Info.plist text file and locate the CFBundleVersionentry. The corresponding string entry represents the version of AIR, for example:
CFBundleVersion
26.0.0.127
https://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/determine-version-air-runtime.html
For the most definitive answer, directly ask AIR SDK what version it is (adt.jar is the AIR SDK's packager):
java -jar C:\air_sdk\lib\adt.jar -version
Which prints the full version number:
3.9.0.1030
How to find the adt.jar file on your system? Often you'll have an environment variable set pointing to your AIR SDK, such as AIR_HOME or AIR_SDK_FOLDER, so you can use that in your command:
Windows:
java -jar %AIR_SDK_FOLDER%\lib\adt.jar -version
Or on a Mac / Linux:
java -jar $AIR_SDK_FOLDER/lib/adt.jar -version
From Mac
Write the following console command to check the current version of Adobe AIR SDK:
%AIR_SDK_FOLDER%/bin/adl -version
Correction to the above, it's adt, not adl to spew the version number to the commandline on Mac (and probably Windows too).
So:
%AIR_SDK_FOLDER%/bin/adt -version

Debugging Adobe AIR apps on Kindle Fire

Possible?
I think to do this I need to upgrade the AIR runtime on the Fire to 3, but the version in the app store won't install. I can't create an AIR apk that is both captive runtime and debug that I know of, so the debug version of the app has to run on the AIR runtime installed. Since the Fire comes with 2.7, 3.x apps won't run in debug mode.
Has anyone managed to get AIR 3 running on a Fire without using captive runtime?
To update AIR on your KF you have to get root privileges. Also keep in mind that android build on KF doesn't have any copy command (it cut off). So the best way I found is to flash your KF with modified (pre-rooted) stock version and then install new air.
Get pre-rooted stock version (I took it here). IMPORTANT: it installs via TWRP, google how to install TWRP on KF.
Put downloaded .zip and air_runtime.apk (latest AIR version) in the root of KF.
Reboot in Recovery mode (TWRP should load)
Flash this version.
On your PC open cmd and run "adb shell" (make sure you see your device in list when run "adb devices" otherwise check drivers).
Run "su" (if you downloaded secure version).
In shell go to sdcard ("ls" to get list of files/folders and "cd folder_name" to get into) and run "install air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk" (I think you can just run "install /sdcard/folder_with_air/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.apk").
(7a. If it tells you that can't install because of file already exist, run the following two commands: "mount -o remount rw /system" (mount 'system' with read/write rights) and "mv /system/app/air_runtime.apk /system/app/air_runtime.bak" (rename air_runtime.apk into air_runtime.bak). Then repeat step 7.)
In KF just run (install) air_runtime.apk (use any file explorer, e.g. download ES File Explorer from Amazon).
Check AIR version in Applications.
That's all. Looks a bit complex, but in real it takes about 4-5 mins for me to update AIR (BUT I have TWRP already installed).
Hope it helps.
UPD. After your Kindle updates itself (version 6.3.1 currently the latest) you'll lose you SU privileges. AIR also will be rolled back to 2.7. You can prevent KF auto-updates (search on xda how to do it) or flash actual pre-rooted version (it gives you several months without problems).
