Application descriptor cannot be parsed AIR

I get the error: Application descriptor cannot be parsed

when trying to compile to air 4.0 :( any ideas?

I was able to compile in Flash CS5.5 but after switching to cs6.0 i am having problems.

I am also trying to use admob ads, as seen at the bottom. This could be a source of the error also. This is driving me crazy, almost 27 hours into it and no solution.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/4.0">

  <name>Happy Cute Puppy</name>

When looking at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7f84.html they declare the android part as follows:

<android> 
    <colorDepth>...</colorDepth> 
    <manifestAdditions 
            <manifest>...</manifest> 
        ]]> 
    </manifestAdditions 
</android>

Your manifest defintion is outside the android tag.
