Question

Flash Builder 4.6 breaks iOS exporting with Air 3.6

Okay, my first question is, which version of the Air 3.6 SDK am I supposed to overlay onto the Flex 4.6 SDK? Is it the one WITH the Compiler on this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html, or the one without the compiler? Or, am I supposed to use the one with the ASD2 compiler (or whatever it's called) for FB 4.7? I'm guessing not the last one...

Thing is, I've tried installing Air 3.6 with both of the abovementioned versions of the SDK - with and without the compiler. Whenever I try a new one, I delete the folder I've just installed, then start again.

I've tried:

- Overlaying Air 3.6 SDK (both versions) on top of fresh extractions of Flex SDK 4.6

- Overlaying Air 3.6 SDK (with compiler) on top of my old installation of Flex SDK 4.6 that originally had Air 3.2 SDK overlaid on it

- Overlaying every version of Air since 3.2 on top of my old installation of Flex SDK 4.6 with Air 3.2, up to 3.6 with the compiler

Everything I try, ends up in error messages when I try to export release build for iOS.

When I'm on Air 3.6 SDK, this prevents it:

"Could not resolve <s:TabbedViewNavigatorApplication> to a component implementation."

When I switch back to Air 3.2 SDK, I get a blank error message:

"Error occurred while packaging the application: "

I have JRE 7 installed on my computer. Everyone is talking about JRE 1.6 or 1.7, but mine is 7 so I'm not sure how that's so far off...

I'm not sure how simply inserting a new SDK folder has actually *broken* the iOS export for past versions of the SDK - Air 3.2 USED to export to iOS just fine - it worked a few days ago before I tried upgrading.

In light of all this - where have I gone wrong? What do I do to fix this? Where can I download a fresh install of Flash Builder 4.6 so I can start from scratch and try again?

I have to get this working... I spent so much time builing my app to this point, to only have to now switch IDE's is going to slow me down significantly.

Thanks for any assistance.

note sure if I'm much help other than to CONFIRM it is working for me by using the sdk WITHOUT the compiler. Check out adobe's little note: "Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler."

I am using FB 4.7 with AIR 3.6 and seems to compile correctly for iOS.

Maybe try reinstalling flash builder?

I honestly don't know if the JRE has anything to do with it... I'm using 1.7 ....to see what JRE you're using, open the Java Control Panel (I right click my java orange icon and hit properties), select the Java tab, then hit "View..."

I have successfully received and installed my free upgrade to FB 4.7, and it has AIR 3.4. I will attempt upgrade to 3.5 and 3.6. I also intend to re-start the AIR SDK upgrade process in FB 4.6 and hope that it isn't still breaking iOS exports.
