Flash Builder Problem: Can't export apps to my Android device now that it was upgrade to Android 4.3


I just installed Android 4.3 and all the problems started. Everything was working great with 4.2.2.

Is this a know issue? I can't even build a simple Hello World mobile app.

Also some of my previously installed Flex apps will not run on my 4.3 device. Some old apps do

run and this is very confusing as all where created with Flash Builder 4.7 and Air 3.7.

Does Air 3.8 resolve this issue?

My system:

Mac Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7

I'm having the same problem, FlashBuilder with AIR 3.7. The device (Nexus 7) is set up for development but I can't install to it. Trying to debug on the device doesn't work, FlashBuilder seems to think it's installed and gets stuck waiting to connect to the application. When I export a release build and transfer it to the device, I get "there was a problem while parsing the package". Previously installed apps have stopped working too.

I've tried updateing to AIR 3.8 but the problem persists.

Have you had any luck fuguring this out?

Thanks,

Alan

My Nexus 7 Android 4.3 developer options setting:

1- USB debugging (checked ON)

2- Verify apps over USB (checked ON)

My steps:

1- built a very basic Hello World mobile app in Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7

2- Select Debug As…

3- Flash Builder starts as normal

4- I normally see (in the bottom right hand ) Launching 6%  - 57%,  then it launches the app on the device.

5- With 4.3 I see the following Launching 6%  - 57% - 58% …. 100%

6- Now I get a dialog box that says "The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect …."

I have a Nexus Galaxy phone running 4.2.2, and this same Hello World works perfectly.

There was a known issue https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3541723 with AIR 3.7 SDK verison 3.7.153 which was fixed later in build 3.7.173 due to which apps are not getting install on the device.

Could you please tell which AIR 3.7 sdk version you are using for  packaging your app?

You can check this using terminal command:

adt -version

Also please give a try with AIR 3.8  or AIR 3.7 build  3.7.210 in which issue has been fixed.You can get the build from here:http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html

Thanks,
