Didnt Adobe promise improved Mac App Store support??? YES they did....
I expected the ease of the Air for iOS Exporter
The new publish options in CS6 does only help 50% + the rest is guesswork !! SHAME!!!..
the provided information about this is non existing.
Anyway this one of a kind walkthrough by Pigsels can get you on the right track
http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide/#more-23
only Terminal codesign and productbuild part is needed
Post if you make it

This became a little confusing.
So there is this guide with AIR 3.2 that is huge (but fortunally exist):
http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide
However meanwhile was realease the AIR 3.3 with Mac App Store with better support but there is no documentation about that.
Meanwhile same users report that the apps are rejected about sandbox security in Mac App Store.
Meanwhile same other users found the workaround.
So, in short what part of the http://pigsels.com/2012/04/air-app-store-publishing-guide guide is to follow (using AIR 3.3) with what kboilydev have founded (by the way, thank you
) ?| -

Well, the current release of Flash Builder 4.6, can build one app file with the captiva runtime and I tought that something was wrong, so go thru the command line adt process and after sucessfull build I get the same error.
The next step was to try to re-sign another app that I previous have installed in my system (a copy of one app file from the Mac App Store) just for in case something external to the AIR/Flex environment and I get the same error !!!
So, I go thru the XCode -> Preference -> Downloads -> Install Command Line Tools (this will update my previous version of the command line tool codesign) and voilá. I can now create one app file directly from the Flash Builder 4.6 and simple code sign the file from the command line tool. After all the problem was with one old command line tool installed in my system
What I waste of time but also experience gain (I'm a Mac user only from 3 month).
Well, I go now for all the process, publish in the markeplace and see if my app will also been approved.
Thank you very much for your guides

Well, after 15 days my app finally enter in review process so at least it should be fine in all this process but unfortunally it was my first rejected app because of 2 simple reasons:
1. I have one mobile menu item that knows to the user my mobile version (iOS and Android) and Apple dont allow that;
2. My app starts with a very simple "1.0 like" interface that user can expand with a menu item called "install apps" that is no more than activate/visible modules already available but the term "install" generate a big confusion because Apple dont allow install/download external apps.
I remove the advartising menu item of the mobile edition and change the "install apps" title to "activate apps".
Lets see and many days thei took the app again and if this time they approve

Ho man, second rejection !
It works great in development environment but failled because I use remote procedure call (for a sync feature with a backend).
The entitlements.plist as mention above it's the mininum requirement for the app is proper sandboxed but then we have to enter new keys when using the system resources. In my case I only have to add the key security.network so the Apple stuff can check this key and decide if will be approved to use this resources or not the app and without the key the sandbox simple block the use of this resource.
For a complete list just check this: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Miscellaneous/Re ference/EntitlementKeyReference/Chapters/EnablingAppSandbox.html
Let's see if this time will be approved or not

My complete "Flex AIR Desktop build script":
cp Info.plist myapp.app/Contents
cp Icon.icns myapp.app/Contents/Resources
rm myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/WebKit.dylib
codesign -f -v -s "My name" myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework
codesign -f -v -s "My name" myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/AdobeCP15.plugin
codesign -f -v -s "My name" myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Flash\ Player.plugin
codesign -f -v -s "My name" myapp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/adobecp.plugin
codesign -f -v -s "My name" --entitlements entitlements.plist myapp.app
productbuild --component myapp.app /Applications myapp.pkg --sign "My name"
I hope that now I can see more than stars
