A Major Upgrade for AIR Extensions! New Payment System and Custom Development Work

Over the past six months, we’ve been working closely with Harman to bring a smarter, more efficient dependency system to AIR. Our new approach replaces embedded dependencies with Gradle dependencies, making extension management easier, faster, and more resilient.

What this means for you:

• Smaller extension file sizes – Free up space & streamline your builds
• Faster compilation times – Get things done in record time
• Much simpler manual manifest additions – Spend less time on setup
• Better dependency resolution – Seamless updates and fewer conflicts
• Improved compatibility – Extensions work together more smoothly

These improvements happen behind the scenes, making everything more stable and maintainable. But you’ll definitely notice the difference with smaller files, fewer manifest changes, and much faster builds. 🚀

APM Update, InAppBilling testing

This month a series of smaller updates have been released including updates for Firebase, Adverts and Share extensions to address some minor issues that were found in the extensions.

Importantly APM v1.2.0 has been released! If you aren't using APM to manage your extensions we highly recommend spending a small amount of time to migrate to using this tool. It will save you an enormous amount of time maintaining your application descriptor particularly for Android builds when needing to update the manifest additions.

SWC Build issues, InApp Billing changes, iOS Simulator

There is a lot of work in progress at the moment with some major changes coming up later this year, particularly for Android and the Google Play store.

Android 12 (API 31)

What a hectic month! But the great news is that all of our extensions have been updated to the latest Google Play Services and androidx libraries including all the air packages for use in apm!

Android 12 (API 31), apm documentation

This month we were aiming to have released a complete upgrade of all our extensions to be compatible with Android 12 (API 31) including Google Play Services and the AndroidX libraries. Along with this comes a major update to all our documentation to use the AIR Package Manager (apm)!

Unfortunately due to the unexpected weather event in Australia, distriqt's offices have been affected by extreme flooding and power outages and we have been delayed with this release.

We are currently aiming to start release of these updates over the next fortnight, as soon as our office is operating again.

Android 31, Google Play Services, AndroidX, APM Documentation

The start to the year has been a disrupted one, with our team having to deal with several COVID cases in our families. Fortunately we weren’t too badly affected and are all back on deck now. But this has meant our schedule for native extension work has been delayed.

Camera Roll Extended, and APM

It has been a quieter month here at distriqt. The team took some time early in the month to have a much needed break especially before the end of year rush.

Work continues on the AIR package manager. If you are using the tool we’d really love to hear any feedback you may have. We are currently looking to v2.0 and what features the community will need in this utility going forward.

AIR Packages, APM v1.0.0

Again this month has seen a large focus on APM. Porting our extensions over to the new AIR package has taking up much of this month.

Notable ANE updates include:

• critical patch for the Facebook API ANE (v9.3.1 was a corrupted build);
• fix for authorisation process in OneSignal on iOS (Push Notifications);
• Native Web View updates for Android API 30 and Windows 64bit support;
• Permissions updated with new System Settings permissions;
• BluetoothLE iOS authorisation process update;

airsdk.dev, extension updates, and more on APM

I am hope you aren't sick of hearing about APM, we are really excited for this tool so may feel like that is all we are talking about recently. We have been pushing out all our extensions as air packages and have over 70 packages in the repository now and are hoping to complete all our extensions early in October.

APM, Adverts and Android 30

Another big month, APM is moving along quickly and our first version of manifest merging has been added! We are super excited about this tool and the way it will change AIR development. I know a lot of the people we talk to emphasise the lack of quick integration being the biggest hurdle with AIR development and we believe this tool is almost ready to resolve that.

Other updates include latest AdMob SDK and mediation networks. Flurry SDK has been updated and the new "standard events" added. CameraUI has had some major changes integrated to support Android 30, and the Scanner extension had some bug fixes released.
