FOR ALL ASKING ME: I've uploaded the last build of openplug to my website thehackersjournal . com / downloads. No registration is required

[CHughes2727]

Thanks do you mind letting us know when it's there and post the link? That would be great thanks!

[CHughes2727]

The open plug website says that they've discountinued the product so I can't get it. Anyone know of any other ways of getting it?

[Factrocks]

@CHughes2727 sorry for the delay, I will upload my copy to the website. The newest one no longer requires registration.

[mestafli]

@Factrocks  where do i download it?

[roboter421]

Cool! Where can I get the iOS-Style-Controls like they are in xCode?

[MrAmateurGX]

Great job on this tutorial. As solobobo has said, how can we get openplug as it is shut down?

Thanks, please reply soon!

[Factrocks]

@MrAmateurGX sorry for the delay, I will upload my copy to the website. The newest one no longer requires registration.

[killermaster233333]

cydia is legal? i can use it with an ipod without jailbreak? cause i can buy the licence

[pedroyrp]

@killermaster233333 you can only get cydia by jailbreaking the iPod... they are not illegal thought ...btw if you buy a license I'm pretty sure you need a mac to install the profile on the iPod or iPad or iPhone

[pinche1994]

@pedroyrp cydia IS legal! But some REPOS ARE NOT. Some repos, THAT'S where you can get "free" stuff. You even get a warning saying "the repository you're about to install has been known to be redistributing illegal downloads" or some shit like that.

[solobobo]

damn...the openplug studio project is shut down and no further support will be provided...

[Factrocks]

@solobobo sorry for the delay, I will upload my copy to the website. The newest one no longer requires registration.

[skelterdevil]

....... The design mode is disabled as the project uses an incompitable version of the flex SDK.

What does it mean???? please help

[skelterdevil]

Can you make your own logo because you have the logo from openplug on your screen?

[reitube2]

I wonder if using Flash CS5 can just export an ipa like you did with Flash Builder? I don't have a $99 apple license and I just want to try to make some apps on my iPhone...

[KrisLXIV]

Just tried this out with Flash Builder 4.5 & OpenPlug Studio 3_0_10_32-149 (CR14). Pity I know nearly nothing about programming but I found it useful to create iOS-style icons in Windows! Much better & more perfect than using Photoshop templates!

Nice tutorial! Many thanks! :)

[Clouds095]

Can you submit the apps to the app store?

[Factrocks]

@Clouds095 As mentioned in the tutorial, yes. I currently have two apps out on the store. Detailed tutorials concerning app store submission are coming with my iPhone programming series.

[POPDEATH1223]

Do I have to download openplug studio instead of elips studio now?

[Clouds095]

aren't there any Ipod Touch SDK's? If this is only for iphone/ipad does that mean you can't get it on Ipod Touch (the finished app) ?

[POPDEATH1223]

@Clouds095 this works for any ios device...

[runescape9087]

elips looks just like eclipse

[anddrewful]

The app "I am rich" was $999, I think someone uses installous!

[TheChristman86]

Question: I've installed FB 4.5 (trial) and OpenPlug, but (1) I do not have the option to create an "ELIPS" Project and (2) it will not let me use "Design" view (it also states in the documention tha "Design" view will not work)... so I'm curious as to how you got "Design" view to work...

[mail2veejay]

@TheChristman86 I too got this message...how did you resolve the same?

[TheChristman86]

And just as an FYI, I don't want to sign and sell/publish my app to iTunes. This is a very specific app only needed for R&D. So I don't necessarily want to pay $99 for the dev license if not needed.

[TheChristman86]

Great intro video to iOS dev. Was wondering if you could post a video for iPad app deployment? According to OpenPlug you need xCode in order to actually deploy the app to the iPad -- can you not use the same ".ipa method" that you use for the iPhone?

[cricfan007]

I am also getting "the design mode is disabled as it uses an incompatible version of the Flex SDK" error. Please provide the update video for the Flex Builder 4.5.

thanks

[pinche1994]

Please keep enlightenning us Masta[er] !! Thank you.

[Factrocks]

@pinche1994 Happy to help! I have been very busy programming, but tutorials are coming soon!

[lolmanxl]

we want tutorial XD

[Factrocks]

@lolmanxl I've been very busy programming, but tutorials are coming :)

[xuzheng712]

Can OpenPlug use WCF web service?

[JoinBook]

thanks man!

[D3CK3RON3R]

Where is the 4.5 updated video???????

[VinegarEel]

When opening the design panel, I get this error:

"The Design Mode is disabled as it uses an incompatible version of the Flex SDK"

Also, when I export it, it isn't an IPA file, it's a folder!

HELP!!

[mbotv10]

Can anybody tell me how to change splash screen of app?

I tried creating picture called 'ELIPS_Splash_Screen_320x480.p­ng" but it doesn't

work. Please help me.

[iTechNetwork]

Tinkernut sent me and what a great tutorial thanks

[LeeHoKa]

Thank you so much. You are very good and smooth in teaching. ^^

[ALX7423]

@Factrocks- I'm running FB4 CS5. I downloaded Openplug 3.0.6 which gave me different settings than what you used. After figuring it out. My current build was in XCODE. 1 where the heck do i find the app to upload to Itunes 2. was is the output file extension?

Thanx

@ALX7423

[Factrocks]

@ALX7423 as mentioned multiple times in the tutorial, you need to set the compiler to generate an ipa in order to compile an app, (the output extension is .ipa). Also note, you will need an apple developer license ($99) to sign and publish your application on itunes

[ALX7423]

@Factrocks -Got it. This my 1st try at this, just want to make sure I'm tracking what you're saying. So i shouldn't be selecting xcode, but ipa. If my stuff is jailed...do i stay need apple's dev lic?

Thanx for your help.

[izzatnadiri]

great tutorial! Thank you!

[VovchikTheBest]

So will Limera1n work for 4.3.4?

[keller4141]

@VovchikTheBest No you can't jailbreak 4.3.4

But you can downgrade If you have the ( shsh blobs ) for the firmware you want to downgrade to witch is the jailbreakable firmwares like 4.0.x, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3.

You need any help pm me .

[VovchikTheBest]

@keller4141 Yep I need help :)

[BosnianTechBoy]

Why cant this be easy like html codeing for websites it kinda looks the same as codeing for websites. idk?

[Thet3]

@BosnianTechBoy go to lynda dot com to learn this stuff!

[VovchikTheBest]

Will Limera1n work for firmware 4.3.4 ? or is there another way

[VovchikTheBest]

Where can I get cydia? I am a total noob

[Factrocks]

@VovchikTheBest it usually comes preinstalled after you jailbreak

[VovchikTheBest]

I found a place where you could download adobe flash 4.0 :

avaxhome ws/software/software_type/deve­­lopment/Web_Related/adobe_fla­s­h_builder_premium_v4_0_multi­li­ngual.html

remove the space place dot between avaxhome and ws

[VovchikTheBest]

Everything worked till almost the last step. When I tried building the app it said : "Compilation failed". What can that mean can anyone help?

[Factrocks]

@VovchikTheBest I made an update video explaining the issues, please watch it.

[VovchikTheBest]

@Factrocks Could you possibly make some mxml tutorials? Or suggest a site where I could learn the language. Thank you. :)

[Factrocks]

@VovchikTheBest It's on my list of TODO, however I'm pretty hesitant. I've done a video series before covering C#, but I thought I did a bad job. A good video series on Flex would be the Flex in a week series on the adobe developer connection

[VovchikTheBest]

@Factrocks When I built my file it gave me a bunch of folders and files under the output\iPhone OS 3.0\Flex_Adobe_Flash_Builder_4­\SUPER . Where do I go from there?

Thank you in advance

[Factrocks]

@VovchikTheBest look for the ipa

[VovchikTheBest]

@Factrocks hmm... Searched it both manually and automatically but didn't find a file with the extension .ipa.

[Factrocks]

@VovchikTheBest send me a screencast of the steps you took to compile and what your output folder looks like

[Clipster15]

Also, I just want to let you know. After installing everything and starting Flash Builder via OpenPlug and going to new project, if I expand "Elps" I don't get "Elips Project". I only get, "OpenPlug Studio Project." After choosing that and opening the mxml file I then tried clicking the design view tab. It gave me some problem in that some SDK didn't support it. I assume that is because I didn't start an Elips project. Why did it not show up in the tree, you think?

[Factrocks]

@Clipster15 openplug doesn't work on flash builder 4.5, you can build flex mobile projects, but they require a developer license to compiler, sorry :(

[Clipster15]

Ugg. I went through all the downloading and installing process and then I find out that this no longer works without an apple dev license.. Stupid youtube for having your comment at the bottom of the page.

[Factrocks]

@Clipster15 I wish I could do something about it :(, I spent over a month looking for a workaround, I have an iPhone developer license, but I know most of my viewers don't

[dust103194]

change ur title since this is not for windows its for mac

[Factrocks]

@dust103194 It is for windows, however, the newest version requires a mac for 1 step. This tutorial can be followed without a mac.

[ServerBoost100]

Do they have a plugin for Eclipse? - I can see that IDE is based on Eclipse, as i already have eclipse, i woudl like to know.

[Factrocks]

@ServerBoost100 Yes, there is a plugin

[Notavailableatall]

Arnie:

Thanks for your INTEGRITY...I too am a christian and cannot ethically or morally steal Programs...in order to learn this stuff!

 I

Really appreciate your tutorials...

[Factrocks]

@Notavailableatall Thanks! I'm Christian as well, and I completely agree piracy is not ethical or moral.

[Notavailableatall]

Arnie:

Really appreciate your tutorials...

[paulcullum20]

@factrocks hello , i tryed to build an ipa but it only makes lots of files like .make files , where do i enter my apple id so it makes an ipa file thanks?

[Factrocks]

@paulcullum20 If your on flash builder 4.5, go to the apple developer portal, and download your certificate and your provisioning profile. You will then need to convert the certificate to a .p12 file using OpenSSL or the MacOS Keychain. Then import those files into the build configuration as noted in flash builder

[Factrocks]

7/7/11 Update - I hate to say this, but in order to program iOS apps on flash builder 4.5 you need an apple developer license and a mac (for 1 step), I've spent a lot of time looking for a solution, but I haven't found one. I'm postponing the tutorial until I can find a reasonable method for Windows users, and preferably without needing a developer license :(

[SpecialForceGameing]

lol 1 dislike

[kalin6911]

Where is your new updated videos for flash builder 4.5???

[Factrocks]

@kalin6911 I'm working on it right now, I've been running into quite a few issues. For example, in order to covert iphone certificate .cer files to .p12 you need a mac, but I want this tutorial to be windows only, this means I have to demonstrate how to convert it using open ssl (which is pretty lengthy), or some other easier method

[NatapixAS]

the link for open plug download is broken!!!!! help!!!

[Factrocks]

@NatapixAS I'm currently working on the 4.5 update tutorial. Openplug will no longer be needed as Adobe included an iOS compiler in flash builder 4.5

[NatapixAS]

@Factrocks great! because i got flash builder 4.5!! THANKS!

[AfterTimeTeaBlade]

what ipad's size

[Factrocks]

@AfterTimeTeaBlade Under the openplug options it says, but please wait for me to release my update tutorial for flash builder 4.5, which has a built in iOS compiler

[AfterTimeTeaBlade]

@Factrocks ok.Thanks

[udierus]

and yes, make a tut on the languages please :P

-Arnie :D

[Factrocks]

@udierus I have a series planned, I need the time though

[udierus]

HOLY SHIT! IS YOUR NAME ARNIE!?!?! so's mine! fucking hell! its a dead rare name, (hi-five!)

[Factrocks]

@udierus LOL!!! Hi Arnie! How did you get your name? My name is short for Arnold. which is my dad's name

-Arnie

[puffleguy66]

@Factrocks; Link for download (In the actual Openplug website) is broken :O

[eclair4151]

plz tell us how to install and what options. i am very confused on what parts to install and where

[narutolord4445]

is this free???

[RufolfRakete]

please make a tutorial on the languages!!

btw no one cares if tinkernut sent you!!

[MultiVladimir12]

Tinkernut didn't send me but gigafide sended me

[dogwood523]

@MultiVladimir12

Tinkernut = Gigafide

I know it is a little confusing but they are both the same fellow...his name is Daniel>>>

[MultiVladimir12]

@dogwood523 yeah i know, but what i mean, al those guys with thumbs up tinkernut send me. but it was on gigafides channel ^-^

[softhunterdevil]

Unity 3D is also very good software ... unity3d.com

[LyrockishKrish]

would love to learn the languages. :)

[fanofsongs]

Tinkernut sent me :)

[WhichWayGames]

The update came out just now, when you have time can you please make the tutorial, also that series you were talking about would be very helpful for people just getting into development with flex builder. Thanks in advanced, I'm looking forward to watching your tutorial.

[Factrocks]

@WhichWayGames Thanks for letting me know! I'm on a trip right now, so as soon as I get back I will proceed with the tutorial. Please give me a week to learn and make the tutorial. Is there anything specific you would like for me to include?

[WhichWayGames]

@Factrocks I'm basically looking for a start to finish tutorial for people who have never used flash builder or flex builder. On a side note though is there any books i can read to learn the language.

[mortenka]

Does anyone have a link for downloading flashbuilder 4.0. It seams like Adobe only offers 4.5.

[DanielGerl46]

Hello, i have flashbuilder 4.5. it all works but the design is deactivated because the project use a incompatible version of SDK.

what can i do?

[Factrocks]

@DanielGerl46 as mentioned above, as soon as the adobe iOS compiler comes out, I will make an updated tutorial, keep checking my channel or subscribe to know when it comes out

[mortenka]

Hello! Im using FB4.5 with flex sdk 4.5. I get the error design mode not supported - incompatible sdk version. What can I do??

[Factrocks]

@mortenka as mentioned above, as soon as the adobe iOS compiler comes out, I will make an updated tutorial, keep checking my channel or subscribe to know when it comes out

[silverhaong]

I tried exacute my hello app but KIS detected it was virus and begin to delete file to file in TEMP folder . What I have to do now ?

[Factrocks]

@silverhaong As long as you downloaded from the official websites, they should be clean. Disable your antivirus. I've done flex programming on systems running Microsoft SE and Avira. Oh and btw thanks for subscribing :)

[silverhaong]

@Factrocks Thanks for reply, waiting for the FB 4.5 tut :D

[Fjerdue]

Hello.

Could you make some tutorials on how to use the SDK? The tutorials on their website is pretty non-descriptive.

[Factrocks]

@Fjerdue As of flash builder 4.5, openplug is no longer needed to write iphone apps in flex. Once the compiler becomes available this summer, I will create an updated tutorial. I am also strongly considering a series on flex.

[WhichWayGames]

@Factrocks Please make a video series, it would help me soo much! Nice videos btw, I subbed :)

[xRaIDeNx69]

Hmm, I thought that Flash isn't supported on the iPhone???

Or is there somekind of functionality in adobe flash cs5 that compiles iPhone apps?

[steeletek786]

Hi, when do you think you'll have the updated tutorial for Flash 4.5?

Thanks and great video.

[Factrocks]

@steeletek786 once the iOS compiler comes out, check out adobe's website for an estimated release date

[KingZoome]

Hi! I am trying to build an app for my social network. Could you please add a tutorial for building a web app? Thanks!

[Factrocks]

@KingZoome as in one that integrates facebook and twitter?

[verstomdiemense]

Hi, I'm 14 years old and very interested in doing this. I am not an ignorant teenager nor a stupid one. Yes there are differences. Can someone recomend me a site or video where i can learn the basics of software creation. I am able to fully understand anything i read but would prefer it not be to in depth. Thanks.

[Factrocks]

@verstomdiemense There are many ways to get started programming. If you are running windows, I recommend you get started programming desktop applications with Visual C#. I have a video series on this channel covering C#, and there is an excellent series available at the microsoft beginner developer learning center.

[verstomdiemense]

@Factrocks thank you. subbed. also. "The design mode is disabled as the project uses an incompatible version of flex sdk" any help? My software is a bit different it seems i have a newer version of elips

[Factrocks]

@verstomdiemense I answered this question many times below. Adobe released a new version of flash builder (4.5), which supports mobile platform development. There is currently and android compiler, but this summer, adobe will release an update with an iOS compiler and a blackberry compiler. You can use openplug with version 4.0 or 3.0, but I suggest you wait until Adobe releases their inhouse compiler. I will make an updated tutorial when this comes out.

[LukevanRensburg]

Thank u I will as soon as I can

[LukevanRensburg]

Hey went I create -mx:Script- ( then it makes the other stuff) I type private function click():void I press enter and run it and I get an error at line four what am I doing wrong and also when I run it it shows the open plug screen and at says some random crap. PLEASE HELP.

[Factrocks]

@LukevanRensburg Please create a screencast CLEARLY demonstrating the error and all your code. Then send me a pm with the link. I ask this of everyone who wants orogramming support from me, because I'm tired of trying one fix after another. If you don't have the software to do screen recording, I recommend camstudio or jing.

[va9oazul]

Do you have a website with more advanced classes to create iOS apps with this program? I would really aprecciate it

[knightbeast92]

All right, so I downloaded Flash builder 4.5 however, when I opened up Openplug and went to look at the design. it says that it can't open since it uses in incompatible version of Flex SDK... how can I solve this problem?

If anyone can let me know, that would be greatly appreciated.

[Factrocks]

@knightbeast92 the openplug compiler is only compatible with version 4, version 4.5 will soon have a built in iphone compiler, I will do a tutorial on flash builder's iOS compiler when it comes out

[MrFoksh88]

@knightbeast92 download falsh builder 4.0 and it works well

[milanachica]

do you have new eclips studio for iphone 4 4.2.1, link broken:

[Factrocks]

@milanachica ? I provided no link, its available at the openplug website. Just search for it.

[MrFoksh88]

Nice video

u help me a lot

[Factrocks]

@MrFoksh88 Happy to help!

[reklrekl]

Do i have to Register at openplug? You Hot the Direct Download Links, i got the Register page. Does it Costa money

[Factrocks]

@reklrekl Yes, you do, but once adobe releases an inbuilt iOS compiler for flash builder 4.5, you won't have to (this summer)

[myboyshappyvideos]

And if you're a student can you then sell the Apps too?

[Factrocks]

@myboyshappyvideos yes, I think so

[myboyshappyvideos]

@factrocks

Nice and is this simular to xcode or something?

[myboyshappyvideos]

Can u make games with the accelometer and can you sell your app in iTunes?

[Factrocks]

@myboyshappyvideos yes, you can sell your apps on itunes, and there is accelerometer support

[Factrocks]

Important Updates!!!

Adobe has just announced an inbuilt Adobe Flex Builder iOS / Android / Blackberry compiler. This means you will no longer need openplug! This is also the reason why I have not created the video series as promised. Why create two series covering the same stuff using included and 3rd party compilers? When its released I will created an updated tutorial!

[derhproduction]

Hey, wonderful tutorial and you have definately solved my issue. I thought that my sister had wasted money on her Ipod touch ... For me, if you can f--k with it, you've wasted your money. And I don't like Mac, so Thanks. But my question is, does the default OpenPlug logo remain ? Can I change that and the advertisement ? Please let me know. Thank You

[Factrocks]

@derhproduction I have just answered in a comment earlier, with the newest version, there is no ads or logo. Even if, soon you will be able to compile apps just using flash builder, without the need for openplug. I will make an updated tutorial when it flashbuilder 4.5 comes out

[subs2meplease]

This video helped me so much, thank you!

Would you be able to make a few more programming tutorials with this language ?

Its really similar to VB.net and C# so i like it :D I was failing horribly earlier as I downloaded Airplay SDK and tried coding an app, but I just couldn't get the hang of it as i'm just useless with C++

[Factrocks]

@subs2meplease Happy to help! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions!

[Superharas]

Is the advertisement added automatically. Or, did you add it yourself?

[torresandchicharo]

How do you use this code? Please head.

[Factrocks]

@torresandchicharo I don't understand your question. If you are wondering how to program in flex, I have a series planned. If you want to learn now however, check out the flex in a week tutorial series from adobe.

[torresandchicharo]

@Factrocks i meant i dont understand the kind of coding in openplug

[kikbut101]

This looks cool man im going to try it :))

[sw1tch4lb]

this works on iOs 3.1.3?

When i run the app on my iPod only shows the logo of openplug

[sw1tch4lb]

where i can find base SDK for 3.1.3? thank you

[pakotzintote]

thanks ill try with other appsync. currently im using appsync 4+ from hakulos. may need to patch it, but hackulos patch seems to be unabailable. exelent tutorial. thanks once again.

[Factrocks]

@pakotzintote please pm me with your results, as I am not longer using the jailbreaking method, I have an apple developer license

[pakotzintote]

@Factrocks ok ill keep trying.

i discart compiler error, because there is just text in the proyect, and even try whit empty project and is the same. im waiting for student licence.

thanks.

[SkyrimTutz]

can u make games and put them on your phone for free and not put them on the appstore? I want to create a mobile game and not sell it

[pakotzintote]

hi i done all you mention in your tutorial, but wen i run the aplication on mi ipod it close inmediately. just can see the openplug logo like 10:08 in your video. is testing in 4.0.2 firmware and mb528ll model. tanks in advance.

[Factrocks]

@pakotzintote Thats a common error, it can happen by using a flex component that doesn't compile to an ipa, or because you are using an incorrect version of appsync.

[lucirz]

@Factrocks how long does a student license last? google didn't show anything useful

[Maxer5ooo]

Nice tutorial!

I am making an application that goes like this:

There is a big button on the top of the iphone that says "News".

When I tap on it, a list will come down of it, with newspapers like NewYorkTimes, BBC etc. When I tap on these newpapers, it will bring me to these newpaper websites.

There will also be a button on the top of the iphone that can bring me back to the application when I surf on the web.

There will also be a "Facebook" tab, and that will bring me to FAcebook.com

Help pls!

[tinku6565]

have you developed any app and sold it??
