Add this to application xml and replace the ext to your extension it will work.. i add this with multiple extension support if want use ext1 also else remove that entry.

I don't think you can install an app from an email attachment and Flash isn't installed on the iPhone. So essentially, no, you can't open a Flex app from an email attachment.

Thanks, but I've found what I was looking for here:

I had to prepare the proper file descriptor. Works fine.
