Update Harman AIR SDK to 50.2.2.1

[Fancy2209]

Hello, I recently installed moonshine to learn AS3, but I noticed it has a Outdated Harman AIR SDK, are there any plans for it to be updated?

Current Version on the SDK Installer: 33.1.1.795 Current Version on Harman's Website: 50.2.2.1

We will discuss on Wednesday with Team to update Air SDK to newest version.

Actually after a bit more consideration please make an update to newest air. I will need that version as well. I have reviewed release notes of that air to check why version was changed from 33 to 50 and I don't see any harm there so we could provide trough our installer newest version.

I have updated configuration to download Harman AIR 50.2.1.1. Please, give this a try when a new development build is out.

Make sure, 50.2 is the version to be use in namespace.

If you see old AIR version-value in flex-sdk-description.xml please report. I may then need to work on that at some time.

I tested the update, and I see the new SDK still has "33.1" as the AIR version in flex-sdk-description.xml (and thus in the Moonshine label):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<flex-sdk-description>
<name>Apache Flex 4.16.1 FP32.0 AIR33.1 en_US</name>
<version>4.16.1</version>
<build>20171115</build>
</flex-sdk-description>

I also see that the About page is not detecting the latest version of the "Harman AIR" SDK. The "Default" entry, which I set manually, shows the expected version

I did some Build & Run tests with the Flex templates and the new SDK, and I didn't see any obvious problems.

Note that the template -app.xml files currently specify 32.0. This still works for me:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/32.0">

I updated them like this, and that also worked.

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/50.2">

Do we need to update the templates to the latest AIR version at some point? I want to make sure that the templates work for the general case without modifying these files.

The label should properly display now in SDK-list:

No, we do not need that. The namespace version generates upon using SDK version. Unfortunately, I see I missed to update the requisite logic for this update. This has been fixed now. If you create a new project using the Harman AIR 50.2 the -app.xml will auto-generate with correct namespace:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/50.2">

I have just tested installation on: Windows 10 - no issues Mac OSX Ventura 13.2.1 - no issues

I have build large Air application on Windows with that update - no issues as well

Thanks for testing. This should be ready to go. I'll plan to push this release out today.
