The goal is that you can keep different "functional versions" of the SDK such as 33.1.1, 50.0.1, etc, but that each of those would just be kept up to date with bug fixes so you really shouldn't have 50.0.1.1 around if there's also 50.0.1.2, the idea is that the final "build" flag is just bug fix updates. Although there's an interesting question now, how we deal with regression.. so maybe a "downgrade" (or "pick specific version") is needed, let me check as I thought we had that (or maybe it's still in planning/development). |

You can pick a specific version to install using the "Install SDK" button in the top right. It will give you a list of all available sdks and then allow you to pick an installation location. |

Please change this to checkmark rather than x-mark to avoid confussion (even though tooltip exists) This is great, it can detects existing installation of AIR+Flex even offers and option to update 👍 Nah for this, I would like to suggest that SDK manager detects automatically values for Java Home , Android Home and so forth using a well known naming. If users decide to use another version let them do. For instance for Java just check if JAVA_HOME is set , and if it does use that location as the default Java SDK.

Thanks For the paths, we may need to tighten the integration between this and the ADT tool itself. Currently the ADT internally checks some environment variables as well as the settings (from the config file that the AIR SDK Manager is using) and also if necessary looks in some standard installation locations. So maybe for this, we need some way for the AIR SDK Manager to determine (and display) what the value is that would be used by ADT, yet still give you the option to override/configure this from the tool... thanks |

@blackjyn Might not be clear here but this is not If we detected JAVA_HOME and then set it here, then you later changed Perhaps we need more description around exactly what this setting is? |

Speaking of paths, I use symlinks. Unfortunately the download link is now expired so I didn't test AIR SDK Manager yet. I have a bunch of folders for each SDK version and a BAT file to update the link. I just need drag the folder with the version I want over the BAT file and it updates. For the Environment Variables: LinkAir.bat content: So I just run There is no need to update paths or anything. And this was the easiest way I found to manage the SDK versions. Personally I had something similar to create a symlink in FlashBuilder, required a restart each time, but we stopped using that. We are still using BAT files to compile from IntelliJ. And not changing paths or having one master path make is simple to use. |

Some further feedback / user experience:
All in all, everything went pretty smooth for a beta, thank you! |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Thanks, yes maybe it's just how different people use it, but the idea is you give it a "containing" folder and then each subfolder within that are where the SDKs are stored. We can probably add some logic to detect what you did and automatically go up a level.. Wondering how long you waited, as the "installing" progress bar can take a while to move if it starts unzipping the largest of the packages first. That's something we're working on.. but yes, no need to re-download files :-) Will have to look into that, the folder location should be cached.. Yes for the release notes that's a good idea. We're also aware that if you download 50.0.1.3 from scratch, you just get release notes for 50.0.1.3 and not for 50.0.1.1 and 50.0.1.2. But if you updated them one at a time you'd end up with all three.... so, we're planning to simplify that by having release notes just for a feature-specific version i.e. 50.0.1, and would keep the 50.0.1.1 and 50.0.1.2 information in alongside the 50.0.1.3 stuff so that you can see everything. Thanks for the useful feedback! |

Excellent Andrew, I think your planned approach for the release notes will be better, indeed. About waiting for the installation, I may have waited for 5-10 minutes after the end of downloading, on a good rig. The progress bar stayed idle at 0%, so I really think something was stuck there (I also checked the task manager to see if the installer was working, but it was using 0% CPU, so I supposed it had stalled) Thank you Andrew for all your clear, kind and constructive communication. It's really a pleasure to see the AIR SDK in such good hands. Have a great week-end! |

Hi @marchbold it is the UX of it. I just realized that you have to select the sdk and then if you click Locate it opens the folder for you. So in that case, maybe the Locate button should be disabled if no sdk is selected. |

Hi @ajwfrost , would it be possible to implement the feature to download and overlay the FlexSDK as well (Similar to the ApacheFlex installer)? I think that would be a great feature especially for newbies. |

Hi @XiaoGen-Taiwan , for that purpose you can use : https://github.com/Moonshine-IDE/Moonshine-SDK-Installer. Then you can simply integrate to VSCode or Intellij IDEA
Well, @ajwfrost I think AIR SDK Manager should support upgrading AIR SDK only , inside existing Flex installation. |

Hi @ajwfrost I'm publishing my android app on windows 10 with animate (23) and latest air sdk version 50.2.4.4 the version is ready to publish but when I change int adt.cfg to create aab file [ using CreateAndroidAppBundle=true ], I think it is related to the fact the I had recently installed air ask manager but I have already removed it weeks ago, but I think something changed... any idea ? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
Can I check where you're setting that value in the adt.cfg file? There could be multiple locations for this! The first one that we check is in c:\users\username.airsdk\adt.cfg, so please check in there for the setting. But also it's worth checking that any paths are set up properly - there is (was?) a known issue in the AIR SDK Manager where a path could be stored wrongly, which may mean Java struggles to read the file and therefore ignores it. All paths on Windows should either be forwardslash, thanks |

i have set 'CreateAndroidAppBundle=true' in both adt.cfg files. |

|
Odd then. You can just delete the other one, i.e. I guess it's worth checking that you are still using the same SDK location? Maybe there's a conflict there? |

I am still stuck with this issue. keep getting apk instead of aab , no matter what I do. I have installed the airsdk manager again

-
|
If you click on that "Troubleshooting" tab within the SDK manager, and then run the build, can you share the output that it's got there? Also just to check, what version of the SDK Manager have you got? as the path is written there with backslashes, and these settings I think would be saved into your c:\users\username.airsdk\adt.cfg location... can you post the contents of that file too please? thanks |

Okay so I had forgotten a fairly key thing here... Animate is providing the build instruction that has a full output filename with the "apk" extension... So, actually you are getting an AAB file: but the request was passed in: So basically, you have ended up with an Android App Bundle, but it has an "apk" file extension. If you rename it, it should then be recognised by the appropriate tools... (we already have "adt -installApp" set up to inspect the file internally to see which it is, rather than relying on the file extension, so that instruction would work regardless of this.. but for uploading to Google Play console etc, it's best to rename it!) thanks |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
HI Andrew, I know that animate always output 'apk' files, even if it is actually an 'aab' file. But, in my case this is truly an apk file and this I know for two reasons: one, the size of the file is about 40mb and should be around 65mb for my aab two, when I extract the file and go to base\lib folder I have only folder 'arm64-v8a'
|
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
The CPU/ABI variants that are included in a bundle file can change, depending on the input parameters or the setting of your "buildArchitectures" values... but if it's got a "base" folder at the top level, then it's a bundle. If you open an APK in a zip file manager, you'll see top level folders "lib", "assets", "res" etc, and the AndroidManifest.xml file directly there. If you open up an AAB file, you'll see top level folders including "base" and a file "BundleConfig.pb". So if you' see "base/lib/arm64-v8a" then it's a bundle with only the armv8 binaries in it... thanks |

Yes .. the arm64 (armv8) is actually going to work for the vast majority of devices. There may be some older 32-bit ones still (armv7), and potentially some Intel architecture ones (x86, x64) although not so many phones or tablets use those. There was quite a range of Intel educational Android tablets for a while, not sure whether they're still pushing those solutions though.. thanks |

Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Hi all
We are hoping to start moving to a new way of deploying the AIR SDK, intending to make it easier for everyone to hear about new releases and to download and keep up to date whilst also keeping stability for existing projects.
A beta version of this SDK Manager tool can be downloaded from the below link (available until 25th November 2022):
https://transfer.harman.com/message/4RCZs94DpaZeqNzh5q0KPU
We would value any feedback/comments/ideas of how to improve this. The idea is that you can update SDK versions where there are bug fixes but then each feature-based update can be managed separately. It also allows you to sort out the configuration settings, hopefully meaning you no longer need to bother with adt.cfg files.
Please add any comments/thoughts to this discussion item.
thanks
Andrew
