I have an application packaged as a captive runtime bundle, that I have been packaging with a command like this:

adt -package

-keystore ..\install_windows\air_certificate_windows.p12 -storetype pkcs12

-target bundle

MyAPP

..\src\MyAPP-app.xml

MyAPP.swf icons splash_screen

This suddenly stopped working a few days ago and it has been giving me this error:

unable to load a certificate in this file

usage:

I've tried a few things:
1. Restarting computer
2. Creating a new certificate from my application
3. Getting a newer Java version

4. Reinstalling AIR.

5. Looking to the date at which I first created the certificate. It was about 160 days ago. Looking at the docs, the certificates have a span of 180 days though if timestamp.

Please advise, thanks

Have you tried with different SDK versions? Did you just update your SDK or target a different one?

I just tried AIR SDK Compilers 26, 27. and 28 and the same error appears. Im not sure what you mean by updating the target. Would this be related to the certificate or swf files I generated through FlashBuilder?
