Hi, I was looking forward to make a custom interface asset using javascript. I was looking into the examples of the interface assets on how it is made in the ifd file in the signature section how to generate key for hash, data, key, and iv.
Hi @zuhair,
Have you had a chance to read the article Create a JavaScript Interface Asset? At the end of the article, you will find a dedicated section that explains how to Manually create an Interface Asset Descriptor file.
You might also be interested in Creating a Custom Interface Asset Using TypeScript, as the Interface Asset Descriptor file is automatically generated when building an Interface Asset this way. If you are unsure how to build an Interface Asset using TypeScript, don’t forget to check out our Intuiface Coding Assistant for guidance.
I hope this helps,
Kind Regards

Hi @zuhair,
JavaScript Interface Assets are only supported in our Player Classic for Windows (former Player for Windows) and our Player Legacy (former Player on other platforms).
With our newer unified Player (aka Player Next Gen), TypeScript is the way to go, and the ifd file is generated automatically by VS Code when building your project.
Can you tell us which device / platform you want to use this Interface Asset on?
Thank you for your response I will look into it
I am using Windows Player. Typescript works on windows as well?
With the new Player 8 we released yesterday, yes, it does support Typescript Interface Assets and only these ones.
With our Player Classic (former Player for Windows), you’d have to use either a .NET or a JavaScript Interface Asset (manual ifd method).
Check our new FAQ about Player vs Player classic here.
Hi, I understand that JavaScript-based interface assets will no longer be supported with the transition to Player 8 (Next Gen). For example, the Splash Screen interface asset we previously used in Player Classic is currently unavailable in the latest version.
Could you please let me know if there are plans to provide these assets in TypeScript for Player 8? Additionally, is there an estimated timeline for when we might expect such updates?
Hi @zuhair,
I’m not aware of any Splash Screen Interface Asset. Is it something that you developed on your end?
Note that most if not all of Interface Assets previously built in JavaScript for our former Player can easily be recreated in TypeScript for our newer Player 8 (Next Gen).
It’s not an asset; it’s a feature in Player Classic, where we can set a custom splash screen whenever the player loads. So, is that feature still compatible with the Player Next-Genn version?
So, as listed at the beginning of this article:
Exclusively for Player Classic, designers can personalize the splash screen that appears when Player automatically starts an experience.
If you need this feature for Player 8, please create an entry in our Wishlist
