FB 4.7 AIR 3.6 Flex 4.9 iOS packing - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError'

Question

I've got an error similar to Isaac_Sunkes' 'FB 4.7 iOS packaging - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError',
but the causes are not related to what he discovered, corrupt image or other files, I'd exclude bad archive contents in my project.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.7 with Adobe AIR 3.6 set into an Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK;
HW system is:
iMac,    2,7 GHz Intel Core i5,    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,    NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512 MB,    OS X 10.8.2 (12C3103)
The Flash project consists in an application with a main SWF file which loads, via ActionScript methods, other SWF in cascade.
I've formerly compiled and run the application on an iPad 1, IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), but got on the device the error alert:
"Uncompiled ActionScript
Your application is attempitng to run
uncompiled ActionScript, probably
due to the use of an embedded
SWF. This is unsupported on iOS.
See the Adobe Developer
Connection website for more info."
Then I changed the FB compiler switches, now are set to:
-locale en_US
-swf-version=19
Please note that without the switch    -swf-version=19     the application is compiled correctly and the IPA is sent to the device
and I can debug it, but iOS traps secondary SWF files and blocke the app usage, as previously told.
they work on deploy of small applications,
but, when I try to build a big IPA file either for an ad-hoc distribution, either for an debug on device, after some minutes long waiting, I get a Java stuck, with this trace:
Error occurred while packaging the application:

I've tried to change the Java settings on FB's eclipse.ini in MacOS folder,
-vmargs
-Xms(various settings up to)1024m
-Xmx(various settings up to)1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=(various settings up to)512m
-XX:PermSize=(various settings up to)256m
but results are the same.
Now settings are back as recommended:
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:PermSize=64m
I've changed the Flex build.properties
jvm.args = ${local.d32} -Xms64m -Xmx1024m -ea -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true
with no results; now I'n get back to the standard:
jvm.args = ${local.d32} -Xms64m -Xmx384m -ea -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true
and now I truely have no more ideas;
could anyone give an help?
many thanks in advance.

I solved this. It turns out the app icons were corrupt. After removing them and replacing them with new files this error went away.
