Update

I have a feeling the solution is here... #579 👀🥲

Edit: Nah, different error...

[angelhdzdev]

Update

Removed <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="50.2" /> from the air descriptor, now a different error about Java API level...
Now new error:

And I'm using the descriptor example from AIR 50.2\samples\descriptor-sample.xml

[joshtynjala]

Removed <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="50.2" />

android:targetSdkVersion is supposed to be used to specify the Android SDK version. Not the AIR SDK version.

[angelhdzdev]

Yeah thank you, I added that line as a desperate measure.

[angelhdzdev]

Now wondering if it's just the JDK version issue... 🤔

[angelhdzdev]

Update

Unlike with #579, this time I actually generated the android_certificate.p12 and it's picking it up well.

Anyone knows what's the compatible JDK version for AIR 50.2?

Edit: Downloading:

Edit: Didn't work with JDK 17 either.

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSBE9908A0-8E3A-4329-8ABD-12F2A19AB5E9.html

But my descriptor is taken literally out of the AIR SDK 50.2 folder, checked XML online for errors and NO ERRORS.

[angelhdzdev]

Solved

First descriptor template I used from the AIR 50.2 SDK dir was corrupted. Used another one I found and bam it worked right away!
Thank you for your kindness and your time.

🔥🥲🎉😍👏🥵
