I am developping an Air Native Extension (ANE) in order to be able to use the burstly ads on mobile devices.
As for my setup, I am using the FlashDevelop 4.0.4 and Adobe Air 3.3. I'm using Flex 4.6.0 SDK. The project is setup on Windows7.
In order to work on iOS devices, Burstly requires a number of frameworks and librares
I managed to write and compile the .a library for iOS. I also have the interface (actionscript code) that will be shared for Android and iOS compiled into a swc and a librairy.swf. All of this is successfully packaged into a .ane which is included in my project.
When compiling a .a library on MacOS, all the framework and library used don't seems to be packaged in the ".a". This is why I had to use Air 3.3, for the -platformsdk option(1).
Since I work on Windows, I followed the instruction in this post to get the iOS SDK (2).
Following the required framework and (1), I made a platformConfig.xml file like this, which is packaged in the .ane
<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.1">
<sdkVersion>4.2</sdkVersion>
<linkerOptions>
<!-- to use the AssetsLibrary framework -->
<option>-framework AssetsLibrary</option>
<option>-framework AudioToolbox</option>
<option>-framework AddressBook</option>
<option>-framework AVFoundation</option>
<option>-framework CFNetwork</option>
<option>-framework CoreLocation</option>
<option>-framework MapKit</option>
<option>-framework MediaPlayer</option>
<option>-framework MessageUI</option>
<option>-framework OpenAL</option>
<option>-framework OpenGLES</option>
<option>-framework QuartzCore</option>
<option>-framework StoreKit</option>
<option>-framework SystemConfiguration</option>
<option>-framework Foundation</option>
<option>-framework CoreGraphics</option>
<option>-libsqlite3</option>
<option>-libxml2</option>
<option>-libz</option>
</linkerOptions>
</platform>
and this is the line to compile the actuale .ane
call "%FLEX_SDK%\bin\adt" -package -target ane ../release/burstlyadsextension.ane extension.xml -swc burstlyAds.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libBurstlyAds.a -platformoptions platformConfig.xml
Problem arises when I try to package the iOS app with ADT:
call adt -package -target %TYPE%%TARGET% %OPTIONS% %SIGNING_OPTIONS% "%OUTPUT%" "%APP_XML%" %FILE_OR_DIR% -extdir lib/external/ -platformsdk ../Libraries/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/
this happens:
"ld: library not found for -libsqlite3 Compilation failed while executing : ld64"
frameworks seems to be added fine, but the dylib are not. I tried to add the line:
<option>-L usr/lib/</option>
before including the lib, but I got this error instead:
"ld: warning: directory not found for option '-Lusr/lib/' ld: library not found for -libsqlite3 Compilation failed while executing : ld64"
I tried to use the full path, other relative path, but no matter what path I put in the option, I always get a "warning: directory not found for option". Even "-L ../" give me this warning. The only thing that seems to work is "-L /../", but my .dylib obviousle are not there.
So my questions are: What did I do wrong? Any idead what else I could try? Even an explanation as to why it is not working would be helpful!
