(App-store) Compilation failed while executing : compile-abc

I just upgraded to AIR16 and can no longer compile for the ios app store from Windows 7.

Calling "adt -package -target ipa-test ..." with AIR16 works correctly, installs and runs on my device.

Calling "adt -package -target ipa-app-store ..." with AIR16 crashes the compiler with this generic error:

Compilation failed while executing : compile-abc


Calling "adt -package -target ipa-app-store ..." with AIR14 (and the new compiler, not legacy) works correctly.


How do I get more information about what is happening? I have no ANEs. Could this have something to do with the new 64-bit requirements? My version of Java? With provisioning profiles? What else is different between test and app-store compile modes?

Update: I tried a half dozen different ways to compile with AIR16 to no joy. Test works fine, App Store compile fails.

Then finally tried the current AIR17 beta which DOES work. I don't see anything in the release notes about fixing ios app-store compile issues, though there's a new known ios-related bug with textfields.


Does ADT produce an error log file somewhere? I'd like to get more info about this "Compilation failed while executing : compile-abc" error if I ever run into it again.

The way some swcs are coded requires that you use useLegacyAOT = true. That was removed for a while, I think it's back with AIR 17.

Huh. I thought useLegacyAOT ceased to do anything in air 16, because the legacy compiler was never going to support 64-bit ios apps so there's no point in trying to compile iOS apps with it. Either way I'm not using that flag.

It could be something to do with the art asset SWCs I create with the flash authoring tool; that thing's buggier than a cheap motel and those SWCs are no end of trouble.
