Phil Haeusler commented on FLEX-35384:
--------------------------------------
A quick look at the installer source shows that the method
InstallApacheFlex.unzipAdobeAIRSDKMac() is always calling untar() on the
downloaded file without taking into account that AIR v24 and later is now
delivered as a .dmg
> Mac Installer unable to overlay AIR v24 SDK or later
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLEX-35384
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35384
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: InstallApacheFlex
> Affects Versions: Install Apache Flex 3.3
> Environment: macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, InstallApacheFlex v3.3
> Reporter: Phil Haeusler
> Priority: Major
>
> From AIR 24 or later, it appears that the AIR SDK is not overlaid
> successfully resulting in a SDK that the installer says is packaged
> successfully, but it cannot be used with an IDE.
>
> While i initially discovered this testing the 3.3.1 RC, I have since switched
> back to the v3.3 installer and experienced the same behaviour.
>
> In my testing I am successfully able to build the 4.13 SDK with AIR 23 and
> earlier
>
> Reading through the installer.log for the AIR 23 vs AIR 24 builds, the only
> difference i can see is that from v24 onwards, the AIR SDK is downloaded as a
> .dmg file rather than a .tbz2 file
>
> i.e.
> AIR 23 - Downloading Adobe AIR Runtime Kit for Mac from:
> [http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/23.0//AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2]
>
> AIR 24 - Downloading Adobe AIR Runtime Kit for Mac from:
> [http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/24.0//AdobeAIRSDK.dmg]
>
> This matches up with the switch in file extensions as configured in
> [http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml]
>
> For both cases however the installer then tries to untar the downloaded AIR
> SDK file, but this doesn't make sense for a .dmg file
>
> i.e.
>
> AIR23
>
> air-setup-mac:
> [mkdir] Created directory /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk
> [move] Moving 1 file to
> /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2
> Finished untaring: /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.tar
> [delete] Deleting file /Users/phil/flex413air23-2/airtar.properties
>
> AIR24
>
> air-setup-mac:
> [mkdir] Created directory /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk
> [move] Moving 1 file to
> /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.dmg
> Finished untaring: /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/in/airsdk/AdobeAIRSDK.dmg
> [delete] Deleting file /Users/phil/flex413air24-2/airtar.properties
>
> it appears that the installer is attempting untar the v24 AdobeAIRSDK.dmg
> file rather then mounting it to extract its contents. This doesn't produce
> an error, and the installer proceeds to attempt to copy files that haven't
> been extracted, also without error.
>
> This then results in the installer completing successfully, but without
> having actually overlaid the AIR SDK.
