Compilation failed while executing: strip

I have a project that I am attempting to publish to an iPad device.

In the AIR for iOS setting menu, I enter the required information, and then press Publish. It ginds for about 30 seconds, but then generates the following error:

Error creating files.

The project was originally created in CS5. When I tried publishing from this file previously, it generated the same error. So I've since created a new project, and copied the timelines and library files over. However, no change in behavior. Any idea what is going on here, and how to fix it?

The same here,

I'm using Flash CS5.5 and got this error trying to export the .IPA file. I'm working in a dropbox folder too! With 3.2 AIR version.

After move the project folder out of dropbox folder (and certificates stuff) it works!!!

Better fix it =)

I had the same problem and it turned out to be DropBox. I exited the DropBox sync program and everything worked fine. If you are using DropBox and your project is in the DropBox folder, that is probably causing the problem.

Thank you, Delirious! I had the exact same problem, and simply pausing Dropbox gets the compiling to work.

The last thing I expected to find when I typed "compilation failed strip" on google was to find a post that told me that this error occurs when the fla resides on dropbox folder.

It's exactly my problem!

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. Could you tell me the AIR version that you are using with Flash CS5.5 - is it AIR 2.6 or AIR 2.7.1? If you are using AIR 2.6, please overlay AIR 2.7.1 SDK over CS5.5 using the instructions here. You could also give AIR 3 beta a try as we have fixed a number of compilation bugs in these releases. Another thing that you can try is upgrading java to the latest version. If you still see the bug, I would suggest that you file it at http://bugbase.adobe.com. Please make sure you include the source project and any other details(java version, OS configuration) necessary to reproduce the bug. if you are not comfortable sharing the sources there, you could also mail them to me at sanika@adobe.com.

Thanks,

Sanika

Hi Sanika, thank you for the reply.

I am currently using AIR 2.7.1.19610

Curiously, I was able to work around the problem by creating a new project once again, and copying/pasting my timelines in, along with the necessary library assets.After doing so, I was able to compile and deploy successfully. (why it worked this time, and not the first time, I'm not really sure)

However, I came back a few hours later, moved the .fla file to another location, renamed it, and tried to deploy again. The previous error reoccurred. Once again, after creating another new project and copying the timelines/assets over, I was able to resolve the issue. It has not reoccured since.

The original project was sitting in a dropbox folder. I've since copied it to a location outside of dropbox. I left a copy in dropbox to see if somehow, the syncing might be corrupting the fla file. But so far, both copies are behaving themselves.

If the issue arises again, I'll try the AIR 3 beta as you suggested, and file a bug report if need be.

Thanks!
John
