adt package fail: can't open -non_global_symbols_no_strip_list file

[stolennickname]

I'm encountering an error when trying to adt package my project for iOS using AIR 16.0.0.259:

Failed to package AIR application AppName.ipa:

Id: can't open -non_global_symbols_no_strip_list file: /pathtosdk/lib/aot/lib/local_nostrip.arm-air.txt

Compilation failed while executing : Id64

I took a peek inside the sdk and could not find such a file, just a local_nostrip.x86-simulator-air.txt file.

I checked my packing options to ensure -useLegacyAOT no

What is causing this stop ship error?

It has something todo with using the ios sdk, see here:

Hi,

Could you please share sample app and add command?

@mrsimonrodrigueztip. The correct answer comes  michaelarchbold at that thread:

I've had the same problem but I found if I copy the SDK to another location and dereference any symbolic links that the issue disappears.

i.e.

cp -RLf /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPh oneOS8.1.sdk SOME_OTHER_LOCATION

This works now in the release air 16 version.

I think the answer is not correct. At least copying SDK in different location is not very nice idea. /pathtosdk/lib/aot/lib/local_nostrip.arm-air.txt file is missing in sdk and it was there in older versions. I have copied it from there and it looks working.
