Starting with AIR 31, key beta-reports-active with the value set as 'true' will be automatically added to the Entitlement blob of the AIR iOS applications, when packaged for iTunes app store publishing. The key was introduced by Apple in the Distribution provisioning profile and is required for applications to be published to iTunes app store i.e iOS applications packaged with Distribution certificate and Distribution provisioning profile with target type as "ipa-app-store". Other packaging targets are unaffected by this change and no key will be added for them. However, one can continue to add the tag in the Application XML, if required.
Note: Applications published with the intent of publishing to iTunes App Store, i.e packaged with Distribution certificate and Distribution provisioning profile with target type as "ipa-app-store", won't install on the test device locally. However, it can be run on test device using Test Flight. For debugging/testing the iOS applications on device use the targets other than ipa-app-store or use Developer Certificate and Developer provisioning.
This feature provides ActionScript level access to get and set the display device properties through introduction of a ScreenMode class and access to the screen modes through the Screen class. This feature can be used not only to boost the playing performance by limiting the display resolution but also to present animation as originally designed, especially on high DPI display devices.
This feature is for AIR desktop only.
The AIR APIs provided by this feature would allow getting and setting of the below properties of the display device(s) that are associated with each Screen.
- Resolution Width
- Resolution Height
- Refresh Rate
- color Depth
A new class ScreenMode is introduced with properties width, height, refreshRate and colorDepth.
package flash.display { public class ScreenMode { public native function get width() : int; public native function get height() : int; public native function get refreshRate() : int; public native function get colorDepth() : int; } }
package flash.display { public class Screen { … public native function get modes() : Array; public native function get mode() : ScreenMode; public native function set mode( val:ScreenMode ) : void; … } }
All the display modes of a device can be obtained through get modes() function. The mode() function returns the current display mode of the device. Resolution of the display device can be changed to any of the available resolutions through set mode() function. Any supported resolution from the available resolutions, returned by modes() can given as an argument to the set mode() function.
While no restriction is placed on calling get modes, set mode is restricted for calling in fullscreen mode only.
Sample usage of the ScreenMode class :
import flash.display.Screen; import flash.display.ScreenMode; function FindBestModeIndex(modes:Array): int { // algorithm for selection of the "best mode" is to // be defined by the AS developer. return modes.length - 1; } var primaryDisplay:Screen = Screen.mainScreen; var oldScreenMode1:ScreenMode = primaryDisplay.mode; var modes:Array = primaryDisplay.modes; var best_mode_index:uint = FindBestModeIndex(modes); primaryDisplay.mode = modes[best_mode_index]); var multiDisplays:Array = Screen.screens; var oldScreenMode2:ScreenMode = multiDisplays[0].mode(); modes = multiDisplays[0].modes; best_mode_index = FindBestModeIndex(modes); multiDisplays[0].mode = modes[best_mode_index]) ;

Authoring for Flash Player 31
To use the new Flash Player, you will need to target SWF version 42 by passing "-
- Download the new
playerglobal .swc for Flash Player 31 - Download and install Flash Builder 4.7 from Creative Cloud: https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash-builder
- Backup the existing AIR SDK if you need to restore it later then replace the bundled AIR SDK with the AIR 31 SDK. To do this, unzip the AIR 31 SDK to this location:
- MacOS: /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.348297/AIRSDK
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK\
- In Flash Builder, create a new project: File -> New -> project.
- Open the project Properties panel (right-click and chose 'Properties').
- Select
ActionScriptCompiler from the list on the left. - Add "-swf-version=42" to the 'Additional compiler arguments' field.
- This ensures the outputted SWF targets SWF version 42. If you compile on the command-line and not in Flash Builder, you need to add the same compiler argument.
- Ensure you have installed the new Flash Player 31 build in your browser.
Authoring for AIR 31 Update to the AIR 31 namespace
You must update your application descriptor file to the 31
