Flex Mobile using 3.4 or 3.5 compile problems

[KathleenBrenkert]

I can not get a release build using either the 3.4 or 3.5 api on a flex mobile project.  I switch the library back to 3.3 and it's working again.  Using 3.4/3.5 I can debug, launch the project on the device with a fast packaging (I have not tried standard) - problem only occurs when I go to compile my release build.

My log file for 3.4/3.5:
!ENTRY com.adobe.flexbuilder.project 4 43 2013-10-01 09:40:08.431
!MESSAGE Error occurred while packaging the application:

Compilation failed while executing : ADT

It continues from there...
I don't know what else to do but to stick with 3.3 for all my mobile projects.  I'm using flash builder 4.7, apache flex 4.10.0 11.8 Air 3.8.

Did you add both mx.swc and sparkskins.swc to the library?  The  AttributeInspector and RelationShipInspector where also redone in 3.4 from 3.3.

[KathleenBrenkert]

I did try adding mx.swc and sparkskins.swc but it did not solve the issue.  I added skins to solve the warnings we get bc of the attributeInspector/relationshipInspector and the warnings clear but still can't build a final release.  I am using multiple libraries and I created a test project where I tested each library individually.  I only run into issues when I pull in 3.4 or 3.5.  I have only worked on mobile projects since I upgraded, so I do not know if I have the same problem with a desktop project.

3.3 is working great, there is no need to use skins and it has all the functionality I need to create my project.  So for now it's my work around.

Please review following thread.  This issue should help you.

Hope This Helps,

Thanks, I'm actually the last commenter on that thread.  I can get the warnings to clear, which then allows me test the application.  Even with this fix I can not get a release build.

[IsaiahAguilera]

After that thread I still had release build problems also. I was able to solve it by making an additional change to the AttributeInspectorSkin. I had to change the memoField to use a text field. This solved my problem, not sure it will solve yours but your welcome to try.

<fx:Component id="memoField">
            <fieldClasses:MemoField minWidth="200"/>
</fx:Component>

Change To:

 <fx:Component id="memoField">
            <fieldClasses:TextField minWidth="200"/>
</fx:Component>

Also I am on 3.4 and I am no referencing the mx.swc or sparksskins.swc at all. Everything compiles and release builds fine.

Hope This Helps,

Thanks! I'll give this a try next time I upgrade the api.  I think for now I'm sticking with 3.3, unless I hit a limitation with the functionality it saves me from having to apply the fix.

You might try this sample: https://github.com/lheberlie/building-mobile-apps-flex/tree/develop/samples/hello-infowindow.  I compiled this just the other day using version 3.5.
