adt compile for ipa-app-store never completes

I did eventually figure it out. At the time I didn't know how to embed an XML file, so I was taking the file and converting it to a reallly long string. It was in the format of:

xmlString += "<xmlTag>stuff</xmlTag>";

xmlString += "<otherTag>stuff</otherTag>";

There were three files, the shortest of which was over 1000 lines long. For some reason the compiler just choked on that. If I had even one of them in there it wouldn't compile for the app store. The moment I removed them, everything could compile just fine. That was when I figured out how to just embed the XML files and everything has worked since. Interestingly, my compile times for test and debug mode dropped by half once I did that; so it was clearly causing some issues for the compiler in general.

If you don't have a file like the one I just described, I would recommend commenting out almost everything in your main file and compiling it. If you have an empty project, everything should compile correctly. Start adding things back in one at a time until you get the problem. That was how I ended up nailing down what was happening for us.

Hi,

This looks like a bug. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include the source project/app and the following details so that we can reproduce the issue internally?

- RAM size on the Windows 7 machine

- Version of Flex SDK and AIR SDK

- Version of Java.

Thanks,

Sanika
