RIA Packager

Package for creating Adobe AIR packages




Overview

Creates AIR packages from the packaged files, and an AIR SDK if necessary.

When an AIR SDK is necessary, it can use a directory containing an AIR SDK, or an AIR SDK archive (shockpkg package file).

Reading DMG SDK packages is only supported on macOS, using ZIP packages instead is recommended.

Not all possible package formats are supported, and some have individual limitations.

Some packagers have extra features which can optionally be enabled for things the official packager does not support.

This package is not as strict about various things and will allow packaging applications that the official packager would reject as invalid.

Currently there is no option for creating license files for packaging HARMAN SDK runtimes.

Usage

AIR Installer

``js
import {readFile} from 'node:fs/promises';
import {
PackagerAirInstaller,
SecurityKeystorePkcs12
} from '@shockpkg/ria-packager';

const packager = new PackagerAirInstaller('application.air');
packager.descriptorFile = 'src/application-app.xml';
packager.keystore = SecurityKeystorePkcs12.decode(
await readFile('key.p12'),
'password'
);
packager.timestampUrl = 'http://timestamp.digicert.com/';

// Options:
packager.profile = 'extendedDesktop';

await packager.write(async packager => {
await packager.addResourceFile('src/main.swf', 'main.swf');
await packager.addResourceDirectory('src/icons', 'icons');
});
`

Bundle (Captive Runtime)

Limitations:

packager.descriptorFile = 'src/application-app.xml';
packager.sdkPath = 'airsdk-win.zip';
packager.keystore = SecurityKeystorePkcs12.decode(
await readFile('key.p12'),
'password'

`js
import {readFile} from 'node:fs/promises';
import {
PackagerBundleMac,
SecurityKeystorePkcs12
} from '@shockpkg/ria-packager';

const packager = new PackagerBundleMac('application.app');
packager.descriptorFile = 'src/application-app.xml';
packager.sdkPath = 'airsdk-mac.zip';
packager.keystore = SecurityKeystorePkcs12.decode(
await readFile('key.p12'),
'password'
);
packager.timestampUrl = 'http://timestamp.digicert.com/';

// Options:
packager.applicationIconModern = true;
packager.fileTypeIconModern = true;
packager.frameworkCleanOsFiles = true;

await packager.write(async packager => {
await packager.addResourceFile('src/main.swf', 'main.swf');
await packager.addResourceDirectory('src/icons', 'icons');
});
