Splash Screen

[markkelynack]

Hi Team,

We cannot remove the Splash screen anymore, we have a valid license but splash pops up on every test.

Not sure what to look for, adt.lic file is in all the used SDK's correct lib folders (Currently using 33.1.1.620)

Setup

macOS Big Sur Animate 21

Any helps would be great.

Cheers

Is this when just doing 'debug movie' i.e. running an application using ADL on the desktop macOS machine?

If you open a terminal window and go to the AIR SDK location, 'bin' folder, what happens if you type adt -license?

thanks

Getting this response, popping up during - Test Movie (Not debug)

[ajwfrost]

Sorry, quirk of these unixy systems, it doesn't find a binary in the same folder that you're in unless you explicitly tell it that this is where it is.... so from there, please try:

./adt -license

thanks

[markkelynack]

Got ya, so getting a good response:

AIR Developer Tool version 33.1.1.633 License file is present and valid

[ajwfrost]

Is Animate set up to launch via the 33.1.1.633 SDK folder? If so..

• can you please check that the comment line at the top of the lib/adt.lic file shows it was updated recently e.g. in the last two weeks
• if it was actually only updated when you ran that adt -license command, can you try again from Animate?

thanks

Top line in lic file is #Fri Oct 08 08:43:23 NZDT 2021

Still same issue.

Can you explain "Is Animate set up to launch via the 33.1.1.633 SDK folder", not sure what to do here, have never needed to do anything other than add SDk via Manager in Animate.

Thanks again for your help Andrew.

Cheers

Re the Animate thing, I was a little uncertain how it's set up since you said at the start:

(Currently using 33.1.1.620)

but then you're checking the license status of a different SDK:

AIR Developer Tool version 33.1.1.633

So we know that you have an installation of 33.1.1.633 with a valid license set up, but I think that Animate is using a different path. I guess either Animate needs to be set so that it's using AIR 33.1.1.633, or we need to do that adt -license check also on the folder where Animate is using (i.e. 33.1.1.620).

Just as an aside, we've been putting together some plans to simplify some of this stuff which will also mean that the license file moves outside of the SDK so you don't have to worry about copying it between different installations!

thanks

I also have a license and I'm seeing the Harman Splash screen popup when compiling/debugging my app with IntelliJ. I first noticed this issue when switching from AIR_SDK_33.1.1.620 to AIR_SDK_33.1.1.795. The splash screen also appears to delay/stall the debugger a few seconds while it waits for the splash screen to go away.

[ajwfrost]

Can I check what happens if you run [AIR_SDK_33.1.1.795_installation_folder]\bin\adt -license thanks

[RossD20Studios]

"-bash: adt: command not found" Note: I'm running on Mac OS, and I can't recall if you had told me before that the adt command doesn't work on OS. Let me know if that's the case, I can reboot my system in Windows and try this again.

[ajwfrost]

Hmm, it should definitely work on macOS, although it would need to be used with forward-slashes. BTW - what version of macOS are you running here?

If you're running via IntelliJ on a recent macOS version then there may be a chance our license check isn't working, the way Apple are making the parent process responsible for the actions of a child process may mean we don't actually find the file -> we're working on centralizing the license file location to avoid this.

In the meantime - if you can check that "adt -license" command (maybe go into a terminal window, use "cd" to change to the SDK folder and then the "bin" subfolder, and run it as ./adt -license it may work?) - and also just double-check that (a) your license file is correctly in the "lib" subfolder, and (b) IntelliJ is set up to use this same SDK folder rather than any other/older one?

thanks

Using command "./adt -license" worked on Mac OS. It generates:

AIR Developer Tool version 33.1.1.795 License file is present and valid DeveloperID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX (show's actual developer id here)

When IntelliJ builds the AIR Package, the splash screen is removed from the runtime and the published build runs successfully without it. The splash screen only appears when building a "debug" version of the app. I'm using Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave. However, I also have Windows 10 installed via Bootcamp and the same issue happens in Windows 10.

Odd then... could you please email me a copy of the adt.lic file from your SDK's "lib" folder? I'm wondering if there's something about this which is causing ADL to have a problem with it... (andrew dot frost at harman dot com, I get so much junk mail nowadays...)

Thanks

Today, I have the same problem. I have renewed the license last week. I didn't change anything in the sdk files. It just happened right now. I have restarted the computer and the problem persists. I need a solution asap.

>adt -license
AIR Developer Tool version 33.1.1.821
License file is present and valid

[ajwfrost]

@aW4KeNiNG everything looks good in the database for your developer ID (assuming you have the same ID, it ends with "bc"..?)

We've got a potential issue in the 821 build with the license file being supported by ADT in different locations, but ADL wasn't updated quite the same .. so there's a fix coming out shortly but until then, try seeing whether you have a license file under the SDK folder in the "lib" subdirectory. If not, copy it back in there (it would be in the [home folder]/airsdk subfolder e.g. c:\users\username\.airsdk\adt.lic or /Users/username/.airsdk/adt.lic etc...

thanks

@ajwfrost it works, thanks.

I had an adt.lic file in the lib folder, but the key value was different compared to the .airsdk/adt.lic . I have copied this file to the lib folder and it works.
