Adobe AIR - Created disk image doesn't open

Hi, I'm trying to create a dmg file and the resulting image file won't open. I'm working on a Mac and it's not the first time that i'm doing this.

The error message I get when I open the disk image is "Following disk image could not be opened " and the reason "not recognized".

It's really weird, because it used to work and now for some reason stopped. First I thought it could be, because I compiled against the new SDK 4.0, but then I tested it with older SDKs like 3.5, 3.8 and 3.9 and the problem persists. Older projects which also worked fine are no more building disk images.

My system was 10.8 and I thought the problem could go away if I install the new Mavericks, but after upgrading the problem is still there.

Repairing disk and file permissions didn't also help.

Has anyone some idea what it could be? I'm really at the end of my knowledge.

Thank you very much,

Solano

Ok people, finally found the problem. I'm using FDT and for some reason FDT stopped to append the flag -target native when compiling a native installer. I think that some FDT update introduced this bug.

It's not only my mac. I decided to abuse our mac mini server and there occurs the same problem, but at home i'm able to package the disk image.

Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Ok, I updated java to 1.7 in the hope this would fix my problem, but it still remains...

I forgot to mention, that I'm able to create disk images with disk utility and I can also open other disk images. Only dmg files created with adt are not able to open.
