Bug in flash builder 4? ( export air release build )

Report · Apr 21, 2010

Hi every one, I am working on a air application using flash builder 4. I tried to export an air release build and I chose my certificate and every thing seemed to be fine, but whrn I clicked on finish button, nothing happend!! I mean it did not do anything, no error message, nothing. after a lot of time I found out on of my images in assets folder starts with space. that was it!! flex 4 could not export the release build for that reason !!just make sure your file names do not start with space!!

Anyways I thought to post it here maybe it saves some time for someone.

cheers

I had the same issue trying to export an air project:

Start to export the release then nothing append, no .air file generated, and the compiler asking me again and again to choose files to be exported.

The issue came from project-app.xml file containing leading space within tags.

For instance <systemChrome> none </systemChrome> must be change to <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>. (Note the spaces around "none").

The workspace log file might help in case of silent failure. flexWorkspace/.metedata/.log.

Mine was:

I had this problem and I used an app.xml file generated from AIRLaunchpad (a couple of months ago), so I was really perplexed!

I carefully checked the Main-app.xml file for spaces, I looked at the log file, yet nothing went. I cleaned the project, restarted, still no go. Finally, I noticed the slash following the folder I had my icons in ("icons") were "\" (I'm on Windows), I replaced them with forward slashes, and then it compiled. It's very odd because I still don't know if that was the problem, but it did ultimately work.

The log file did not give me any clue about this, unfortunately.
