Compiling to iOS in Flash Builder throws Java null exception

Apr 17, 2012 3:52 PM

I'm attempting to port a large application from the browser to iPad. It works perfectly fine when I do a 'fast' compile, but when I attempt to compile using the 'slow' packager I get this error:

 

Error occurred while packaging the application:

 

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

        at adobe.abc.Nsset.match(Nsset.java:263)

        at adobe.abc.Name.match(Name.java:555)

        at com.adobe.air.ipa.BitcodeGenerator.main(BitcodeGenerator.java:82)

    Compilation failed while executing : ADT

 

I see one other thread where this is addressed but unresolved. Can you direct me as to how to resolve the issue?

    I've forwarded this to the iOS team.  Please let me know if you don't hear back.

    Has there been any movement on this issue, or a bug I can track? I am having the same issue with Flash Builder 4.6, and the new iPad.

    I tried a brand new, no content, mobile project in Flash Builder and got the same result when it tried to package.

     

    I did solve it though. I had Java 6 release 30 installed on my machine, when I installed Java 7 release 3 I was able to package properly without the error.

     

    I couldn't find anything about a proper Java version needing to be installed, but it should get added to any existing documentation.

     

    Thanks.

    Glad to hear that David, It would be really helpful if you could get us some information on following.

     

    What type of project it was (Flex Mobile, ActionScript Mobile etc?) on Flash Builder 4.6?

    Is it a 64 bit machine? It's Mac or Win, which version of OS.

    What version of AIR SDK version you have in your Flash Builder. (Goto Flash Builder directory\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.1\bin\ and type adt -version on command line)

    We assume that you're using Slow packaging.

     

    Thanks a lot.

    -Pahup
