How do I upgrade Flash Builder 4.6 to AIR 3.4?

Question

AIR 3.4 was just released, with features like workers and native APN support.

How do I upgrade my existing Flash Builder installation to use the new AIR SDK?

Answer 1

Upgrading Flash Builder 4.6 to AIR 3.4

Directions for Mac OSX.

1) Go to the sdks directory in your existing FB directory. On my machine it's /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks.

EDIT: I discovered that the merged Flex/AIR SDK is available here: http://gaming.adobe.com/getstarted/

The merged version of the instructions I had here before do not result in a stable SDK. Download the SDK from the link above, unzip it somewhere (be aware that it will overwrite your existing 4.6.0 directory if you unzip it under the sdks directory in Flash Builder), and then do the following.

2) Add the new SDK to Flash Builder, under Project -> Properties -> Flex Compiler -> Configure Flex SDKs. Click Add, then choose the new SDK folder.

Add the following command line flag to your project, in the "Additional compiler arguments" field:

-swf-version=17

3) Change the target in your -app.xml file (root of your project directory) to 3.4:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.X">

to

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.4">

4) Start using new features like workers and iOS push notification support. Create engaging apps, bring in da mad coin, and retire young and happy after paying me a modest (percentage-wise, that is) stipend for enabling your new-found financial independence.

That should do it.

Answer 2

don't the following files: -air-config.xml -airmobile-config.xml -flex-config.xml -the build.xml files located in themes -flex-config.xml

need to be changed also in order to use the 3.4 sdk?
