Serge Jespers just published Package Assistant Pro for Mac/Windows. Package Assistant Pro is an easy-to-use tool that help you with package native installers for AIR 2 and APK files for AIR on Android and eliminates the need to use the command line.
A few months ago I released an early version of my Package Assistant application. The application made it easier to compile native installers for AIR 2. While it was a lot easier to use compared to using the command line the application wasn’t very user friendly. A few weeks ago I started working on a brand new version and I think you will like it!

I am new to Android and also CS5. I had earlier published the Flash Lite 3.0, CS4 app to the Ovi Store for Symbian platform, by packaging the swf to an SIS. Now I want to publish for Android devices. The terms adt, apk are new to me. I am unable to locate the adt.jar for both the AIR 2.5 and the AIR 2 SDK when using PackageAssistantPro on Windows.While using the packager, I am prompted for the JAVA.exe. What should it be? I don’t understand the environment setup (on Windows XP), except that I have now installed the CS5. In the packing video, I did not find any reference to the swf also, and also what is the xml format?
The following certificate creation does not work for me:
adt -certificate -cn MyFirstSelfCert -ou supriyatenany -validityPeriod 25 2048-RSA ~/Certificates/newselfcert.p12 testpwd
adt -certificate -cn name [-ou org_unit][-o org_name] [-c country] [-validityPeriod number_of_years] key_type pfx_file password
Hi,
I do not find the AIR 2.0 and AIR 2.5 folders, to point to the adt.jar, however, I am able to locate adt.jar in the lib folders of the AIK 2.0 and AIK 2.5 in Flash CS5. Will those references be valid enough? The packager version that I am using is 0.4.2 and it also requires pointing to the JAVA.exe, however, I do not see packaging options for ‘dmg’, instead, I see ‘Package exe’ along with the ‘Package apk’. I am able to create an xml, and a p12 self signed certificate along with the swf for the ‘AIR for Android’ app in CS5, but while building an apk, using the certificate and the xml, I am stuck with an error (Usage Error – Incorrect Arguments) and cannot proceed further.
