Update Flash Builder mobile app to use 64 bit with Air SDK 18.0

Question

I am having a terrible time updating my Flex Project to use 64bit and iOS 8. I have to update because when I use Adobe Air SDK 14 I get the following error while uploading my release version via the Application Loader.

I've followed all of the instructions listed in the following, but nothing works:

https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html

When I change the line in my air descriptor mxl file to:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/18.0">

I get the following error:

I've downloaded the Air SDK from this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

I tried using both the main link and the Flex specific SDK only link.

Then I installed the Air SDK in /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722

Also, I used the Apache Flex SDK installer to get the latest flex SDK to be used with Air SDK 18.

It seems to have installed fine

As you can see I've tried multiple versions. I also select the air version in my Flex Project compiler path.

I even tried overlaying the SDK in the Flash Builder SDKs folder.

Still, I always get the error when I try to set my app descriptor XML line to 18.0

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/18.0">

I can set it to 16.0 and the application will build.

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/16.0">

But then when I build, my app has a ton of UI problems. Spinners go crazy and tab bars, buttons, and layout all have problems. My app goes from looking like this:

I have no idea what to do.
