Hi All, Apparently the JavaFX includes some libraries that use the obsolete Quicktime. When some submits to the Apple Store a JavaFX app it gets rejected based on JavaFX having the obsolete API. I found out how to fix it from someone else running into the same issue.

Thanks for the verification. No matter what state Quicktime is in it is no longer accepted by the Apple Store. I am guessing these new rules will soon apply to everything but I could be wrong. Regards, -Tony On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 9:27 AM, David DeHaven david.deha...@oracle.com wrote:

Thanks I read it. I also added a new issue regarding Apple now needing a pinfo file for the jdk plugin inside the bundle created by JavaFX deploy. Regards, -Tony On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 10:36 AM, Phil Race philip.r...@oracle.com wrote: I presume that Apple now want you to use AVKit

Hi Phil, What happened is when I submitted my app package it uploaded and Apple ran a check and pointed out the issue but did not suggest a solution. There are other solutions for video out there but not sure Apple would approve. I will find out soon with my next app but for now trying not to

Therein lies The Problem, and why we had to go with QTKit when we supported 10.6... Every two releases they seem to deprecate half-baked APIs in favor of some new half-baked API. At least as of 10.8 that seems to have stabilized somewhat, as we transition more and more to an iOS clone. We had

Yes, this is true, but QuickTime (despite it's horrible component architecture) was stable and actually useful for a very long time, then they dropped it and replaced it with what amounts to absolutely nothing useful. Only in 10.8 did they start putting useful bits back in, it's still a long

As I said, Apple does this. It took cocoa (a nice API) years until it had the functionality of carbon (an awful API). Believe me, I have experienced the trail of dead API and the pointless developer rewrites. Steve On 2014-03-25 4:02 PM, David DeHaven wrote: Yes, this is true, but
