ADT commands

The first argument passed to ADT specifies one of the following commands.

  • -package — packages an AIR application or AIR Native Extension (ANE).

  • -prepare — packages an AIR application as an intermediate file (AIRI), but does not sign it. AIRI files cannot be installed.

  • -sign — signs an AIRI package produced with the -prepare command. The -prepare and -sign commands allow packaging and signing to be performed at different times. You can also use the -sign command to sign or resign an ANE package.

  • -migrate — applies a migration signature to a signed AIR package, which allows you to use a new or renewed code signing certificate.

  • -certificate — creates a self-signed digital code signing certificate.

  • -checkstore — verifies that a digital certificate in a keystore can be accessed.

  • -installApp — installs an AIR application on a device or device emulator.

  • -launchApp — launches an AIR application on a device or device emulator.

  • -appVersion — reports the version of an AIR application currently installed on a device or device emulator.

  • -uninstallApp — uninstalls an AIR application from a device or device emulator.

  • -installRuntime — installs the AIR runtime on a device or device emulator.

  • -runtimeVersion — reports the version of the AIR runtime currently installed on a device or device emulator.

  • -uninstallRuntime — uninstalls the AIR runtime currently installed from a device or device emulator.

  • -version — reports the ADT version number.

  • -devices — reports device information for connected mobile devices or emulators.

  • -help — displays the list of commands and options.

Many ADT commands share related sets of option flags and parameters. These sets of option are described in detail separately:
