Hello,
I'm wokring on an AIR app for Windows that uses native extensions. To do so, I need to use extendedDesktop profile, but I cannot compile .AIR file using only that - it requires a native installer. However, I'm unable to compile native installer .EXE because I'm using Linux to do automated builds. So I've added this to my descriptor:
<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop desktop</supportedProfiles>
This way I can get it compiled and signed into an .AIR file. After I install this app on the target machine with Windows 7 - the application is being launched with desktop profile (I suppose so, because native extensions do not work). However, if I launch that installed application with ADL debugger - it uses the first profile from the list, which is extendedDesktop and my native extensions work fine. Is there a way to force launch the app with extendedDesktop without ADL? I know, documentation says that to have native extensions I MUST package it into a native installer, but I didn't do it and the compiled, packaged and installed app can work with native extenstions if I run it with ADL. I suppose I don't understand something, I'm very new to this. Does ADL provide something needed for extendedDesktop and this something is only included with the app if I package it into native installer? So since I've packaged it in .AIR - only ADL can provide this something? Can I get .EXE package on Linux somehow? I'm using Maven for automated builds and this whole thing seems unreasonbly tangled to me
