I’m catching this error as well. But it is not helping for me.
First of all I publish for AIR3.0
My descriptor’s xmls is “http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.0″
I cannot add publisherID to my descriptor. Cause compiler says it is wrong.

And after all I dont have anything in META-INF/AIR/publisherid
Bo such file at all.

Adobe needs better documentation on this crap

Hey Robert – sorry for the delay. You might find some useful information here — http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/index.html

I think you will want to disable auto-updates (see the admin’s guide) and push your own update out.

I hope this helps.

Yep….but the clients doesn’t have internet access. You’re right I, and just I, can find the AIR runtime in http://get.adobe.com/air/ but no my users.

So, How do I tell AIR Runtime 1.5 that the new AIR Runtime 2.0 is not at http://get.adobe.com/air/ but at my own url http://ServerIp/Air2.0?

Anyone know?

You can always find the latest version of the AIR runtime here — http://get.adobe.com/air/

BTW, Do you know how to tell where the new Runtime 2.0 is?.

The client machines doesn’t have internet access to update the Runtime when my new AIR 2.0 version app appears, so it would be very usefull if I can publish the new Runtime where they can find it (LAN Area). Ïf so the Runtime update will be made with no user action as well the app does.

Thank you again.

[...] publisherID works differently so you have to add the publisherID to the XML descriptor like also described here. If you are not using EncryptedLocalStore you might be fine by now but otherwise you get this error [...]

On a Mac right click the app and select show package contents.
I found the bug/solution I ran into here: http://groups.google.com/group/air-tight/browse_thread/thread/3c6b425ad17eb4f1/b6a222f8467518b9?show_docid=b6a222f8467518b9

Thanks.

1. I dont see the META-INF dir. Is it perhaps hidden?
2. Tried this (outside of adl)… it does not print it out. Is it possible it would be blank?

There are two ways to get the publisherID that I know of:
1) Go to where your application is installed and find the META-INF folder and in there you will see a file called publisherid that contains the ID. On MacOS, you’ll find it in /Applications/YourApp.app/Contents/Resources/META-INF/AIR/publisherid.
2) Another way to get it is programmatically in your app by printing NativeApplication.nativeApplication.publisherID

Are you putting the publisher ID in the app config XML file?

Thanks for the post. I’m running into the same issues upgrading our app to 2.0.

I’m looking for the meta-inf dir or where to find my publisherID so I can try this fix. I use the IDE to publish the app.

Do you know where I might find the pubID?

Thanks for the summary but now I get this runtime error “Error: EncryptedLocalStore may not use publisher IDs passed in from ADL” when trying to access the EncryptedLocalStore. Adding the publisherID to the run/debg configration does not work since it seems not supported for 1.5.3 and later.
