I’ve been developing a mobile application for some time. It works on iOS and Android, as well as on the desktop as an AIR application. This is great and I am very excited about it. However, last week I was asked why I cannot export a version of the application running in a web browser. I said that I suggested that I could, and that I would look into it.
But why do you want to run mobile code on your desktop?
A few reasons:
- Greater code reuse . This does not make sense in all cases, but it is in many cases. (I will not understand, because I think it goes without saying. If you do not agree that I would be glad to talk about it, but I would prefer not to stick this description).
- Quick / easy customer demos . Instead of installing apk or ipa on a mobile device, I can just send the url.
So what have I found? Well, from what I have tried so far .. this .. does not work. Rather, I could not get it to work.
I started by creating a Flex library project for all the common code. Then I created 2 application projects that link to it: one for mobile and one for the Internet. The mobile project works fine, but the web project does not. Here is what I have tried so far to get it working:
- mobilecomponents.swc mobile.swc -, Flash Builder MobileSkin ( - ). , , UIComponent:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.text::StageText could not be found. , , ( --swf-version=13), . - , , : MobileSkin SparkSkin. , , . , . , MobileSkin SparkSkin, , . - b'c, (, layoutContents), , .
