A HTML Adobe AIR App without Flex – pt3

Creating A Self-Signed Certificate:
Before you try to create an Adobe AIR application you will need to create a self-signed certificate or you can get a proper code-signing certificate from a certificate authority like Verisign or Thawte.

The basic command to create a self-signed certificate is:

adt -certificate -cn name [-ou org_unit][-o org_name][-c country] key_type pfx_file password

so a working command to create a certificate could be:

adt -certificate -cn ID8 1024-RSA devCert.p12 certpass

For more information on code signing certificates check out:

Packaging An Adobe AIR Application:
The Adobe Documentation has all the information you need to package an AIR html application here:

Packaging an AIR installation file using the AIR Developer Tool (ADT)

The command I used for this project was:

adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore path_to_certificate testapp.air path_to_xml_descriptor_file .
