All Over Software Jobs: [flexcoders] auto update

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Hi I have been working around this for about a week, and I must have a
blind spot...

I am running Flex 4.5 on a mac and I am about ready to release, but
the auto update aint working...

I keep getting the error There was an error checking for updates. Error# 16831
I get this error from this statement being true:
appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;

When it is false no one is the wiser and I like it that way, other
than it does not autoupdate.

Naturally I have checked it on Google and it says something about the
frameworks being in my src library, which I do not have.

Very odd! Am I missing something, anyone got a checklist I could run
through. Have checked through the XML, noticed that this line was old
(now updated):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5">
<version>1.05</version>

although my app-xml starts with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
...
<versionNumber>1.05</versionNumber>

my default package:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:screens="screens.*"
currentState="splash"
applicationComplete="init()">
