Stupid error. Forgot a quote in the first line. Fixed it, but I have another problem now that I'll ask in another thread.

Application Descriptor cannot be parsed?

Been working on an iPad app in CS5.5 for a couple weeks and started getting this error today when trying to test. Tried to delete the file, and the new one gives the same result. Pasted the xml into a validator and it validates fine...
5.5 is really starting to feel like a beta. So far, for me, it's been nothing but a PITA and is wasting so much of my time.

Create a new xml file with the name of your appname-app.xml and paste the contents below and change your relevant things:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">

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.

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.

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.

Upload Error: Missing Application Descriptor File

Hi,
I keep getting an error when trying to upload my AIR 2.5 app, specifically, "missing application descriptor file". I've double checked the proper XML format for 2.5, as well as checking its location by changing AIR extension to ZIP, etc. The application.xml file is in the proper format and location.
Any clues as to why this upload error is occurring?
Thanks.

Hello,
When uploading an application, the validation looks for the file "META-INF/AIR/application.xml". Is this where your application descriptor resides?
If your problem persists, we can help troubleshoot if you provide us with your AIR application.
Thanks,
Christine

File Upload Download Application- Query cannot be parsed within the Builder

Posting for those who encounter this problem.
In the section "Store the Document in a Custom Table", you will encounter a problem with the SQL:
if ( :P2_FILE_NAME is not null ) then
insert into file_subjects(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
select id,:P2_FILE_NAME,:P2_SUBJECT,blob_content,mime_type
from wwv_flow_files where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
delete wwv_flow_files where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
end if;
The problem is that the BLOB_CONTENT column has not been initialised with and empty BLOB locator.
I modified the SQL as follows. If there is a better way of doing this please post.
if ( :P2_FILE_NAME is not null ) then
insert into file_subjects(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
select id,:P2_FILE_NAME,:P2_SUBJECT,EMPTY_BLOB(),mime_type
from wwv_flow_files
where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
insert into file_subjects(blob_content)
select blob_content
from wwv_flow_files
where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
delete from wwv_flow_files where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
end if;

Does your parsing schema have direct granted privileges to execute the function or privileges via a role? If it is through a role, you need to directly grant execute on the function to your parsing schema.

The application "iTunes" cannot be launched. -600

Suddenly my iTunes refuses to launch. It just sits in the dock like it is running, but no window. And if I try to Force Quit it, it remains in the dock.
If I try to launch iTunes again, it gives me an error: *The application “iTunes” cannot be launched. -600*
Not really useful.
I don't have that Intego something installed that could give this error. I tried installing the 10.5.1 update downloaded from apple.com. I repaired permissions several times. Moved all iTunes prefs out of Preferences. Renamed the iTunes folder in ~/Music. Downloaded and installed iTunes.
Still no go.
But then, just as Im writing this. I realize I have an iPod Shuffle sitting in its dock, connected to my iMac. I just tried unplugging it, and of course iTunes starts right away. Whod've thunk?
Looking through Console. I did find this:
*20/11/07 23.53.19 kernel comapple_driveriPodSBC::setPowerState(0x5da7b00, 3 -> 4) timed out after 100129 ms *
I hope this can help some others.

Spell checker error: null cannot be parsed to a squiggly dictionary

I organized a spell-checker with help Squiggly in my app ( http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/squiggly/).
_newdict.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleLoadComplete);
_newdict.load("dictionaries/en_EN/en_EN.aff", "dictionaries/en_EN/en_EN.dic");
Everything works fine when the dictionary files is in the same folder as the app. But the dictionary have large size (over 5MB). Therefore load it on user demand. Files can not save the program folder, but only application Storage Directory.
However, when initializing the dictionary there is an error: null cannot be parsed to a squiggly dictionary. I've tried both ways: file1.nativePath and file1.url, it is still the error.
var file1:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("dictionaries/en_EN/en_EN.aff");
var file2:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("dictionaries/en_EN/en_EN.dic");
if (!file1.exists || !file2.exists){
    //download files from the server
} else {
    _newdict.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleLoadComplete);
    _newdict.load(file1.nativePath,file2.nativePath);
   //_newdict.load(file1.url,file2.url);
Tell me how to solve the issue, please?

Subhranshu,
Remove the CO extension and check whether it still throws the same error, or it throws the error when u extend the CO.

The application "whatever" cannot be launched. -10810 Getting this error.

On Friday, I ran into a issue where I can't launch new programs from the dock.
When I try to launch something, it gives me an error message. The application "Firefox" cannot be launched. -10810.
I end up having to reboot the whole computer. Then I can start programs again.
But after half an hour, the issue is back and I am getting the error again.
I am typically running Mail, Safari 3.1, Parallels, newest Firefox and Adium (newest version).
I can't really relate it to any specific single program that is causing the problems.
What does that error message mean?
Anyone have any ideas?
I already installed the new firmware update today, hoping that would magically fix it. But it didn't help.
I have all the latest apple updates for the computer installed, and Leopard.
Help, anyone?

So does that mean that Mail is hanging on something and causing all of the problems?
Any ideas?

invoke no problem. However, if I try bring up this web-service asmx page on another PC or the mobile app that is cradled to the development PC via USB, I get: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. HTTP 404...
This app ran just fine back in October13 but I opened for further development over the weekend and I cannot work because of this. I have updated PC and VS with latest updates (problem before & after updates). Using 3.5 because I am using
Windows Mobile 5.0 Clients. I have searched the forum universe for the solution and have found many people with this error but with other platforms.
I am using the DefaultApplicationPool and I made sure that the local security has READ access on the web service file folders. I hope this is something simple that I am missing.
And help - grateful!

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
If you are working with ASP.NET Web Application, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET
WCF, ASMX and other Web Services forum for better solution and support.
Best regards,
