AIR ADL invalid application descriptor

Hi, everyone.
I have problem with running AIR aplications when installed Ruby under Windows 7.
If I try to run adl for my program "adl application.xml bin", I get the next result:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\New Project>adl application.xml bin
NOTE: Gem.cache is deprecated, use Gem::source_index. It will be removed on or after 2011-08-01.
Gem.cache called from C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sprout-0.7.246/lib/sprout.rb:365
invalid application descriptor: Unknown namespace: http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.7
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\New Project>
Similar problem on the two different computers.
When I uninstalled Ruby AIR applications worked normally.
But I need Ruby and I need AIR.
When I type just "adl" in command promt, I get result:
Adobe (R) AIR (R) Debug Launcher (ADL)

Thank you!

I haven't seen this reported before and I'm not sure why there's a conflict. Very odd that doing it without arguments does not cause the error. Could you please open a bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com and let me know the bug number? I'll follow up internally.
Thanks,
Chris

FU4.1RC2 - "invalid application descriptor" when using AIR 2.5

Folks,
I discovered today when attempting to use AIR 2.5 with FlexUnit4.1 RC2 that you will get the following error when adl.exe is invoked:
[flexunit] Setting up server process ...
[flexunit] Starting server ...
[flexunit] Opening server socket on port [1024].
[flexunit] Waiting for client connection ...
[flexunit] Found AIR version: 2.5
[flexunit] Created application descriptor at [C:\EclipseWorkspace3.5\report.renderer_tests_2\build\flexUnitDescriptor.xml]
[flexunit] Executing 'C:\Flex\AIRSdk2.5\bin\adl.exe' with arguments:
[flexunit] 'C:\EclipseWorkspace3.5\report.renderer_tests_2\build\flexUnitDescriptor.xml'
[flexunit] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are
[flexunit] not part of the command.
[flexunit] invalid application descriptor: versionNumber must have a non-empty value.
From what I can tell, the flexUnitDescriptor.xml file that FlexUnit is producing has this:
<version>1.0.0</version>
I guess AIR 2.5 changes the element name to <versionNumber>. When I manually changed 'version' to 'versionNumber', I could get adl.exe to launch and run the tests manually from the command line.
Something to be aware of - hopefully you all are aware of this apparent API change.
Regards,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
This issue has actually been resolved in the RC3 build of FlexUnit. At least I have applied code to resolve this isssue
Can you please try utilizing the libraries provided in our RC3 build?
http://flexunit.digitalprimates.net:8080/job/FlexUnit4-Flex3.5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifac t/flexunit-4.1.0_RC3-30-3.5.0.12683.zip
Let me know if you still have issues with this. Does the fact that this is running now, mean that you made progress on your other post?
Thanks,
simeon

Invalid application descriptor: descriptor version does not match runtime version

Hi.
I have writen a very simple AIR app. Its not really an app
just a button on the stage in flex2 as I want to try packaging it
up as an air app from the command line. When i use adl to do this i
get the following error.
invalid application descriptor: descriptor version does not
match runtime version
I have just downloaded the latest version of AIR 1.0.1 and
still have no joy even when i change <application xmlns="
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0">
to <application xmlns="
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0.1">
The code for my app is below, i woudl very much appreciate a
little advice as to where i am going wrong.
Many thanks

My descriptor version was 1.5.2
(see line <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.2"> in file appName-app.xml)
My Flex sdk was 3.2 (see Project->Properties->Flex Compiler->Flex SDK Version)
To support air debugger (adl) version 1.5.2, sdk 3.2 was too old, so i got this same error
so i switched to sdk 3.4 (free download at adobe.com)
and the problem was solved

Adobe AIR Error Message - Application Descriptor

Upon starting my computer I keep getting an error message for Adobe AIR stating, "Application descriptor could not be found for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance." I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe AIR THREE times and have restared my computer with each new re-installation. The error message is still showing. Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

I successfully gotten rid of it for WINDOW 7.
This can be caused by some error/conflict with Air Adobe and any start-up programs scheduled to "open" "activated" at the first appearance of your desktop.
To find out what programs are running at the startup:
     Click "Start"
     type "msconfig" in the search engine at the bottom
     click on "msconfig" icon appearing on top
     a pop-up window titled "System Configuration" will appear
     Click on "Startup" tab
     At this point, I unclicked unnecessary programs that are not crucial in operating my computer.
     Click "apply" or "Ok"
     another pop-up window will ask you if you want to restart your computer.
I am not sure if I solved the "conflict' but certainly got rid of the annoying error message by turning off some "unnecessary" software that was automatically set to start as the computer booted.

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5

The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
I have tried re-setting user profiles.
I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

Adobe air application descriptor - os specific (mac/win)?

I created an app that runs on windows and mac osx.
Not I would like to have different install folders on each os in the application descriptor:
For windows:
<installFolder>Companyname</installFolder>
For max osx (no install folder):
<installFolder></installFolder>
Is it possible to set this inside the application descriptor without changing the xml file for each os?
E.g
<installFolder os="win">Companyname</installFolder>
<installFolder os="mac"></installFolder>
Thanks for hints...

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? When adding the bug, please include sample code or an application so we can quickly test this out internally. If you'd like to keep this private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the URL and I'll attach the symbolicated crash log to the bug report. Out of curiosity, have you tried this with AIR 3.6?

Air App for Android - error 301: application descriptor missing

Greetings!
I've been building in Flash for a while but am brand new to mobile development. I'm currently trying to create my first Android app, a very basic game called "302 Saves The Galaxy". I don't intend to sell the game. I'm really just trying to learn my way through the publication process for future projects.
I've been able to get to the very last step in creating the apk file and I'm getting this error from the command-line process -
"Error 301: Application descriptor missing/cannot be opened"
Here's a screen shot of the command line window -
Here are a few other details about my process -
In Flash, I selected to publish to Air 2.0 because that's the only option I had (ie, no Air 2.5 option)
I've triple-checked and all spellings seem to be correct in my command-line syntax
I'm sure I'm missing something obvoius here. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Joel

Hi, Pahup!
Thank you SO MUCH for that tip! That solved the problem! Like I said, I knew it must be something pitifully easy that I was overlooking.
Anyway, I really appreciate your taking the time to respond.

Invalid extension descriptor - Licensing AIR for Android devices

Unable to download/upgrade App World - Error Invalid manifest or application descriptor.

I have tried to download 7.1, but it seems it is not available for my region (Chile). I have checked on 'Software Updates' on the device, where it indicates"Your Blackberry is up to date" and doesn't offer any option to update. I have also checked on the Blackberry website, and it also tells me there are no updates available. It tells me I have this version on my phone: 7.0 2395 (v. 7.0.0.579, platform 5.0.0.735). It seems that the version releases may be related to geographical location and Carrier (I have Entel PCS as my carrier.) I re-installed the latest update of 7.0 that the website would allow me to do, then tried to download AppWorld, but no success.

Hello
I have a Bold 9900, software 7.0
I have had problems with App World for several months. The App on my phone indicated that an upgrade is available, however when I went to upgrade I received the following message: Error : Invalid manifest or application descriptor.
The "MIDLet-Name" attribute is missing.
After several failed attempts trying to download the upgrade I finally deleted App World from my phone to try to re-install it directly from the phone, but this gives me the above error message.
I have tried to update it using the appworld.blackberry.com site, but was unsuccessful. After deleting App World from my phone the appworld site no longer recognizes my device and tells me to "Please connect your device" when I click the 'My World' link.
When I try to download AppWorld from the Blackberry website, I receive this message:
"Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone."
I've hard rebooted the device repeatedly, hoping that this would help, but it hasn't.
Any ideas?

"application descriptor not found" when trying to create .ane file

I have been trying to create a very simple native extention for the better part of a week now and I just can't seem to figure it out.
Using tutorials and guides from the following sources:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/extending-air.html
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/devices/pdfs/DevelopingActionScriptExtens ionsForAdobeAIR.pdf
http://custardbelly.com/blog/2011/09/21/air-native-extension-example-ibattery-for-ios/
I managed to get up to the point where I need to create the ane file, but I am getting "application descriptor not found".
So, here is the detailed explanation of everything I have done to date. Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong?
1. On the mac, I created an xcode project, using the iBattery example code from the link above, I managed to create static library .a file. I am not going to discount the possiblity that there are many errors still in this file, but I am going to assume for the moment that my current problem is not related to any issues in this static library.
2. Copied the static library "DaveExtention.a" to my PC where I have flash CS5.5 installed (yes, I know there is a typo in the name)
3. In my app folder, I created a lib folder that now contains the following files:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\DaveExtension.fla
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\DaveExtension-app.xml
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\com\extensions\DaveExtension\DaveExtension.as
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\com\extensions\DaveExtension\BatteryStateEnum.as
I set my project to compile an swc into the build folder and simply put the following code into my project:
import com.extensions.DaveExtension.BatteryStateEnum;
import com.extensions.DaveExtension.DaveExtension;
var ext:DaveExtension = new DaveExtension;
var batterystate:BatteryStateEnum;
stop();
I then publish the swc.
4. Once the swc is created in the build folder, I copy the libDaveExtention.a to the build folder and create the extension.xml file, which looks like this:
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/2.5">
<id>com.extensions.DaveExtension</id>
<versionNumber>1</versionNumber>
<platforms>
    <platform name="iPhone-ARM">
        <applicationDeployment>
            <nativeLibrary>libDaveExtention.a</nativeLibrary>
            <initializer>ExtInitializer</initializer>
            <finalizer>ExtFinalizer</finalizer>
        </applicationDeployment>
    </platform>
</platforms>
</extension>
5. I make a copy of the swc file and rename it to .zip... I then extract library.swf from it and delete the zip. My build folder now looks like this:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\DaveExtension.swc
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\extension.xml
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\libDaveExtention.a
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build\library.swf
6. I downloaded the flex 4.5.1.21328 sdk and the Air 3.0 sdk, which I copied into the flex sdk folder (which is located in "D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328")
7. In my build folder, I create a simple batch file called buildane.bat with the following command:
D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
8. I then open a command prompt to my build folder and run buildane.bat and this is my output:
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>buildane.bat
D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
application descriptor not found
No matter what I try, I can't get passed this.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

>>D:\GoldSun\Source Code\Flash\ExtentionTest\lib\Build>D:\SDKs\flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328\bin\adl -package -target ane DaveExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DaveExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDaveExtention.a
Either its a typo or by mistake you wrote adl in yout bat file. Change it to adt since that is the file that will package your ane. adl is just used for debugging/running on Desktop.
Hope this helps. let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Meet

Using ADL when Application.xml and Content.swf are not in the BIN directory

Hello, I am trying to use the air debug launcher (ADL) to
launch a simple air app. My issue is I am trying to have ADL launch
this app from outside of the bin directory of the SDK. Whenever I
try to pass adl the full path to the Applicaiton.xml file it says
"application descriptor not found" Does anyone know how to get
around this? How can I run an AIR app that is outside of the bin?
My situation C:\AIR has the Applicaiton.xml and Content.swf
files, then a directory way below C:\Program Files\....\..... has
the bin directory. I can run adl using its full path C:\Program
Files\....\bin\adl, but when I pass it the full path for
Application.xml it fails.
By the way when I put everything in the bin, or below the bin
it works just fine.

If you're receiving this error message then the full path
you're specifying for application.xml must be incorrect.

Please help me fix error " Application descriptor file cannot be parsed "

Invalid application discriptor: Unknown namespace error

Hi all I am using flash Builder 4.6. I am working on google eyes project, this was created on flex 3.1 but I am using flash builder so I need to update it's sdk so i update it's sdk to 4.6.0, here I am getting an compilation error. Invalid application discriptor:Unkown namespace error

It seems like you have replaced the folder, /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK
This folder is used when creating an ActionScript project or ActionScript Mobile project. However, for a Flex Project, the SDK used is the same as used to be previously, /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0/ in your case. You will either need to use a ActionScript project or overlay the Flex SDK present at /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0/ with the AIR SDK you wish to use.
You can find instructions for the same at:

Some background on the application I'm trying to install:
1. The application descriptor file points at the 2.0 version of the runtime. The application I'm trying to install has been packaged as a dmg.
2. I already have the 2.5 version of the AIR runtime installed on this machine, so I'm not sure why there are references to the EULA in the log file.
3. I'm not actively double clicking on the dmg file. The .dmg is actually being installed by a third party application via the command line.
Any ideas on what could be happening here or can you offer any remedial action on how to get this application installed correctly?
Thanks
Sean

Thanks for the responses guys,
The third party application is passing a -silent and -location flag to when launching the application.
