No solution for client websocket desktop air app, please help!

[JoseEstevesPt]

I'm using Adobe Animate 24.0.3 and Air SDK 50.2.4.4, creating a desktop app that connects do websockets (websockt or websocket IO) server, I've tried all the old libraries, help of chat GPT, help of Copilot, nothing works. Then I saw this post...How can I get AIR SDK 51? will I be able to solve my problem. Please help!

Discussed in https://github.com/airsdk/Adobe-Runtime-Support/discussions/3081

^{Originally posted by **ajwfrost** February 23, 2024} Hi all. Finally, we are releasing a new major version of the AIR SDK - the major version update is because of a number of new ActionScript APIs and features that are being added, which means the SWF version code will also be going up to 51 (fourth byte of the SWF = 0x33). This discussion thread is to provide information about the new features/APIs. Our intention is to create a new main comment for each of the features, and then we (or anyone) can reply on those comment threads, so that we keep each thread specifically about a particular feature. We can then use it to give examples, provide updates on the status (51.0 is released initially as a beta/pre-release, some features are not actually completed), and hopefully it still stay roughly organised. For full ActionScript API details, check out the "What's New" page of https://airsdk.dev/reference/actionscript/3.0/

manually editing catalog.xml and all plataform xml to use 50.2 instead of 51.0 fixed the error of invalid ane.

Connection to websocket works using this ANE, but my websocket server it's not receiving any data after i call _webSocket.sendMessage(WebSocket.fmtBINARY, sendBytes);

WebSocket is a class introduced in AIR 51.0 so I'm a little surprised it works if you drop that down.

Although ... ah, I've just realised, we had a bug in how the platform descriptor files derived from earlier ones, which may have caused this. The fix is already in our internal builds, about to be released, so I wouldn't have seen that issue....

E AndroidSocketThread: Eror sending bytes: null

We'll have to check on this one.. are you able to confirm that you sent in a byte array (and presumably it wasn't null or empty)?

thanks

Yeah.. sending byteArray.

private function sendConfirmConnection():void
    {
        var sendBytes:ByteArray =new ByteArray();
        sendBytes.writeUTF(RandomUtils.UIDv4());
        sendBytes.writeUTF("confirm-connection");
        sendBytes.writeInt(_areaId);
        sendBytes.writeUTF("token");
        sendBytes.writeBoolean(_wsConnectionId != null);
        if (_wsConnectionId != null)
        {
            sendBytes.writeUTF(_wsConnectionId);
        }
        _webSocket.sendMessage(WebSocket.fmtBINARY, sendBytes);
    }

My implementation it's working normally for windows, i just made a change to use AndroidWebSocket instead of WebSocket..

Hi

You can try this one, it fixes an issue with sending and receieving ByteArray data..
