- This ANE is dependent on the following ANEs. Download them from here:
- androidx_arch.ane
- androidx_cardview.ane
- androidx_core.ane
- androidx_design.ane
- androidx_lifecycle.ane
- androidx_utils.ane
- overrideAir.ane
- AIR SDK V30+
- To compile on iOS, you will need to add following Facebook frameworks to your Air SDK.
- download iOS Facebook SDK package and extract it on your computer.
- FBSDKCoreKit.framework
- FBSDKLoginKit.framework
- FBSDKShareKit.framework
- FBSDKPlacesKit.framework
- you will see some xxxxxx.framework files. copy them as they are and go to your AdobeAIR SDK.
- when in your Air SDK, go to "\lib\aot\stub". there you will find all the iOS frameworks provided by Air SDK by default.
- paste the facebook frameworks you had downloaded into this folder and you are ready to build your project.
- Android SDK 19 or higher
- iOS 10.0 or higher
- In case you see the following error messages when compiling for iOS, check out this video clip to know how to resolve it.
ld: library not found for -lclang_rt.ios
or
Undefined symbols ___isOSVersionAtLeast
- There's a known bug as follow on windows machines when compiling for iOS. To avoid that, you will need a Mac to compile your project for iOS. We are hoping that Adobe would fix this problem soon so the app can be correctly packaged on Windows machines also. vote up here https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/AIR-4198557
ld: in C:\AIR_SDK\lib\aot/stub/FBSDKCoreKit.framework/FBSDKCoreKit(FBSDKApplicationDelegate.o), unsupported address encoding (A5) of personality function in CIE for architecture arm64
Compilation failed while executing : ld64
