Compilation failed while executing: ADT

[John_R_Nyquist]

I have a project that I've been successfully compiling for iOS in Flash Professional 5.5, with uses AIR 2.6. I decided to try compiling in Flash Builder 4.6 using AIR 3.1. It runs fine on the desktop, no errors or warnings. When I try to do an Ad Hoc release build, it fails with java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.TreeMap.getEntry(TreeMap.java:324), (The Export Release Build dialog does not let me select the text, otherwise I'd paste the stack here)starting at com.adobe.air.ipa.BitcodeGenerator.main(BitcodeGenerator.java:82) and saying  "Compilation failed while executing: ADT"

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Regards,

John

I am having the same exact problem right now, and as far as I can tell, this post is the only example of it on the internet, and it has no replies.. Did you ever figure out what was happening?

Hi John,

Could you please try packaging it on command line using ADT (available @ C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.x\sdks\4.x\bin)

# adt -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -provisioning-profile <path to mobileprovision> -storetype pkcs12 -keystore <path to p12> -storepass <password> hellworld.ipa hellworld-app.xml hellworld.swf

Is it specific to ipa-ad-hoc target only? Could you try it with other targets like ipa-app-store or ipa-test-interpreter

Please share the adt version by executing following command.

# adt -version

-Thanks

I'm not John, but I have the exact same issue, same traceback. I'm compiling on the commandline with adt version 3.1.0.4880, but it also happens with sdk versions 3.2 and 3.3. If I compile the SWF using -debug, the problem doesn't occur - only with the release build. It also occurs with the ipa-app-store target, but not with ipa-test-interpreter (not too surprising, given the error traceback).

Oh, and here's the complete traceback:

FWIW, the problem also occurs with -target ipa-test.

Thanks for your reply, please raise the bug @ https://bugbase.adobe.com/ request you to attach relevant sources/swf/xml, so that we could investigate the issue at our end.

Hi there,

we also receive the error message "Compilation failed while executing: ADT".

So we can't update our app and this is really urgent. We have over 500 000 users and we have to fix a major bug.

We tried to compile the App with the current Beta AIR 14 version and we tried to build it with AIR 13.

We are using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.

If we compile to Android everything works fine.

iOS won't work and the error message appears.

If we debug the app via "fast build" it works.

We already changed this line in the jvm.config:

java.args=-Xmx384m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false

We tried -Xmx512m and 1024 but unfortunately it still doen't work.

We can compile the other apps, but one of our best performing app is dead at the moment!

Any ideas what can solve the problem?

[grosssmutttr]

When we use the adt command line:

adt -package -target ipa-app-store -storetype pkcs12 -keystore test/cert.p12 -provisioning-profile test/name_Distribution.mobileprovision t

No additional errors ...

[grosssmutttr]

We found the solution.

There were over 60 if-clauses in our class.

We changed the if-clauses to else if and now it works.

Didn't know that this could have such a massive impact...

[pbalogh]

Is this a known constraint -- that you can't use if-clauses more than 60 times in a class unless some of them are followed by else-if statements?

[grosssmutttr]

I don't think so. This problem only exists on iOS and isn't a problem when you compile to Android...
