Error #3500: The extension context does not have a method with name xxx

Applies to: AIR AIR SDK

With the release of AIR 20, Adobe AIR provides support only for 64-bit Runtime dynamic library on Mac OS X.

"Error #3500" occurs when users are running the AIR app after linking the ANE with AIR project in Flash Builder or in Animate CC.

First you can see the following native extension error:

Native extension error

Click OK to launch ADL, which displays the following error:

ActionScript error

Adobe is looking into this Flash Builder/Animate CC issue.

If you see this error, follow these steps as a workaround:

In the <AIR-project-name>/bin-debug folder, create the following directory path:

META-INF/AIR/extensions/com.adobe.extension

Copy the .ane contents in the com.adobe.extension directory (to obtain the .ane contents, unzip the .ane file).

The contents of this folder include catalog.xml, mimetype, library.swf, and the META-INF folder.

In the terminal, run the following command:

<path of AIRSDK>/AIRSDK/bin/adl -runtime <path of AIRSDK>/AIRSDK/runtimes/air/mac <path of app.xml>app.xml

You can now launch ADL successfully.

Also, if you proceed with the native app creation (using Export release build / Publish option) using Flash Builder or Animate CC, you can create the app successfully.
