Packaging on FB 4.7 - AIR 3.7 fails

Report · Apr 24, 2013

While packaging my app for debuggin on device, it compiles fine for a bunch of times, then suddently I get:

'Launching application-device' has encountered a problem. Error packaging the application:

Error: application.xml is not a valid AIRI or AIR file.

Recreating the project didn't help. Looking on Google, I found a post that mention that this error can come up when the period is missing after the app.xml filename in the adt command. Is this a bug? What's the workaround?

thanx
