Can't Launch Air Apps After Upgrading from Flex Builder 3.01 to Flex Builder 3.02

I just upgraded to Flex Builder 3.02 at the Adobe FlashCamp October 2008. It didn't want to install in the same place as the previous Flex Builder 3.01, so I gave it a new directory. I also installed the Flash 10 Player.

I then opened Flex Builder 3.02 and it showed all my applications.

I picked one of my previous applications, the AIR AIR Server Monitor and tried to launch it in debug from Flex Builder. I got this popup:

The error dialog
"Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger."
"Command:"
"D:\program files\adobe\flex builder 3.02\sdks\3.2.0\bin\adl.exe" d:\projects\flex\servermonitor\flex_bin\servermonitor-app.xml d:\projects\flex\servermonitor\flex_bin
"Output from command:"
"error while loading initial content"

I asked some other people here, and someone thought maybe I didn't have Flash 10 installed. I thought, "Maybe I need to do a projects clean". Still the same error. I double checked to make sure all the files were present.

Fortunately, someone from the AIR team is here. So I asked him to take a look. Ethan found the problem!

It turns out that the problem is in the app.xml file. For FlexBuilder 3.01, this was the line:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0">

To properly target for FlexBuilder 3.02, it needs to be changed to:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">

Now the app launches just fine!

      it's the .xml file in the src directory. Some devs may have renamed it. Look through the xml files for the line mentioned above
