How does one publish to newer Air players using Animate CC?
Tried setting the compiler path in preferences and pointing to the swc's/ but the version never increments and the publishing target option never changes...
Help!

You set which version of AIR to use in the Properties Target drop down menu. If you want to publish to a later version of AIR you would use Help/Manage Adobe AIR SDK... and you would point to the version of the SDK that you were interested in.
If for any reason you're still seeing an older version of AIR, you could choose the Application with runtime embedded option in the AIR Settings General tab. That way at least the app will continue to work like it does for you, and won't break if the user updates AIR to a later version.
