AIR SDK Issue with Android Build Tools

[marchbold]

Our latest application requires us to use some of the more recent features of Android which require some of the v7 support libs. To use these you need to use a version 21+ of the android build tools.

Unfortunately the adt fails with those versions of aapt:

aapt tool failed:ERROR: Asset package include '/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK/lib/android/lib/resources/android-res.jar' not found.

This issue seems to be related to a stricter policy with the way assets are included ?

Anyone found a way around this?

This happens with both the current AIR 18 and the beta AIR 19.

Also this seems relevant: Issue 78354 - android - AAPT 21.0.2 failed to build with error Asset package include '%s' not found....
