Dialogs no longer work on iOS 8

[jackwlee01]

The dialogs are no longer working with the current version of iOS 8.

Also seeing this with iOS 8 beta 5.

And it will not work until Adobe release an AIR version compatible with iOS 8 and recompile this ANE

[scottwwh]

Thanks @esdebon - is there a bug being tracked by Adobe that I can upvote?

[iqontrol]

Has anyone found a solution for this problem yet? Latest air SDK and iOS 8, dialogs still not showing

[esdebon]

When you say the latest SDK, you mean Adobe AIR Beta 15?
Then report the bug:

Doing some research and it looks like this is caused by Apple deprecating the UIAlertView in favor of the UIAlertController class. Docs say UIAlertView is deprecated but I don't know what that means in Apple language. Most devs will deprecate in one version and remove it in the next major release. That is generally how Google handles their deprecations.

I'm not overly familiar with Objective-C, but I am going to try to fix this next week. Overall, 21 instances of UIAlertView will need to be properly handled, from the looks of it.

An SO question asking about how to handle this while maintaining backward compatibility:

For the short term solution, any other dialogs extension can be use on iOS8?

[jjanusch]

@raychan123 I searched yesterday for about a half hour and found nothing that wasn't built prior to the deprecation. If anyone knows of one, please post it.

[raychan123]

So that no any dialog extension can be support iOS8 in this moment? oh no

[scottwwh]

Both Milkman Games and Distriqt have commercial ANEs, assuming they're up to date.

[raychan123]

Anyone can be confirm that the Distriqt version can be support iOS8?

[jjanusch]

I just did some tests in Xcode 6 and iOS 8, and my original guess that it was due to UIAlertView being deprecated was incorrect. UIAlertView still works just fine. I'll keep looking

[raychan123]

hope can fix this issues this week

[raychan123]

I have found the replacement ANE can be work fine on iOS8:

FWIW, I've confirmed that Distriqt's ANE works with iOS 8.
