Flash builder quits unexpectedly when choosing Export release build

[omar1111111111]

This was asked before but with no responses from Adobe, I will try my luck here:

This has happened since I updated to MacOS High Sierra (10.13.1), every time I choose Export Release Build the software crashes. However, making a debug build works fine.

I am set up for Android and iOS and I have exported multiple builds from this project before. I have Flash Builder 4.7 Premium with the creative cloud membership.

when the crash started happening, I updated my specs to Adobe Air 27, Flex SDK 4.6 (Air 27 overlay) and updated the compiler directives to:

-locale en_US

-swf-version=38

-use-network=true
but no luck.

I need to release my project before christmas, so, help?

thanks

I'm having the same problem - if it helps to diagnose, I'm trying to Export a release build for this repo: GitHub - cit-jmu/MediaViewer: Standalone desktop MediaViewer for MDID

I gave up on Flash Builder for AIR/Flex Mobile development. Intellij IDEA is the way to go. I pulled all of my code over to it and with very few changes was able to get builds going. I haven't pushed a release yet, but I'm really liking it. I don't have time for Flash Builder. I have work to do. I'm not saying it's Adobe's fault. Could be all Apples fault, but I don't care at this point. I just need something that works.

Hi!

I did a clean install of High Sierra (17A405) and APFS on my SSD. Following the tutorial bellow and also adding "-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true" to FB's .ini, did the job.

JAVA 7/8 - http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/09/running-adobe-flash-builder-on-mac-with-java-78 .html#sth...

To export the Release Build, I'm using ADT (Command-line):

/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/sdks/4.16.0_air_25/bin/adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore /path_to_cert/cert.p12 -tsa "http://sha256timestamp.ws.symantec.com/sha256/timestamp" ~/Desktop/MyAirApp.air /path_to_project/bin-debug/MyAirApp-app.xml -C /path_to_project/bin-debug MyAirApp.swf any_aditional_folder_or_assets

* The tutorial does not work for Java 9;

* Some things of IDE related are a little buggy;
