Why am I getting a "unable to load a certificate in this file" error? Adobe Air captive runtime bundle

I have an application packaged as a captive runtime bundle, that I have been packaging with a command like this:

adt -package  
-keystore ..\install_windows\air_certificate_windows.p12 -storetype pkcs12  
-target bundle  
MyAPP  
..\src\MyAPP-app.xml  
MyAPP.swf icons splash_screen

This suddenly stopped working a few days ago and it has been giving me this error:

EMBED_BITCODE_OPTIONS: -embedBitcode ( yes | no )

I've tried a few things:

  1. Restarting computer
  2. Creating a new certificate from my application
  3. Getting a newer Java version
  4. Reinstalling AIR.
  5. Looking to the date at which I first created the certificate. It was about 160 days ago. Looking at the docs, the certificates have a span of 180 days though if timestamp.

Please advise, thanks

No need for downgrading Java if you instruct ADT to create certificate with 2048-RSA key instead of 1024 (as new Java requires).

adt -certificate -cn MyCertificateName 2048-RSA MyKeyName.p12 MyKeyPassword

I downgraded to 8_112 and thankfully it works.

Use older Java version, or create new certificate with 2048 RSA key. New Java rules happened around version 8.0_121: no more support for RSA keys with 1024 bits length.
