Hi I downloaded the AIR NetworkInfo native extension (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/networkinfo.html) it works when I test it on the ipad but when I test my app on the desktop I get an error

"The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Networkinfo is not supported for MacOS-x86."

I have other extensions that do not throw this error. I'm using Flashbuilder 4.6 and when I look at the Actionscript Build Packages for Apple IOS I see a warning that the extension "Does Not Support AIR Simulator". I don't want to have remove the extension everytime I test on the desktop and shouldn't have to. Anyone have any ideas what is happeneing?

It is because the NetworkInfo ANE is compiled for the ARM archteture, and will not run on your simulator, just on a real device. You should do a build script to avoid adding and removing each time you want a release build.
