Flex Won't Run Error

Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.
Invalid application descriptor. Unknown http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1

I could not get any flex air project to run in my flash builder, changing this line in the Main-app.xml allowed the project to run. Something about flex air requiring a minimum of the 2.6 SDK to run, even though I am going through the flash 4.5.1 SDK.

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">

I encountered the same error when I was developing a mobile application in Flash Builder 4.7 (Flex 4.6.0, Air 3.5). It turned out that auto-formatting the application-descriptor XML-file (Main-app.xml) was the problem.

In an application-descriptor XML-file there should be a <content> element like

    <!-- The main SWF or HTML file of the application. Required. -->
    <!-- Note: In Flash Builder, the SWF reference is set automatically. -->
    <content>[This value will be overwritten by Flash Builder in the output app.xml]</content>

Now when the application is built the build-script copies the application-descriptor to the output directory (for examle bin-debug) and should replace the contents of the <content> element with the name of the generated SWF-file, for example <content>Main.swf</content>.

After auto-formatting the application-descriptor (pressing [ctrl] + [shift] + [F] in Flashbuilder) the element looked like

    <!-- The main SWF or HTML file of the application. Required. -->
    <!-- Note: In Flash Builder, the SWF reference is set automatically. -->
    <content>[This value will be overwritten by Flash Builder in 
        the output app.xml]
    </content>

Note the linebreaks that have been inserted within and after the text-contents.

Now the build-script was no longer able to replace the text-contents with the name of the SWF-file. So in the resulting application-descriptor in the output folder (bin-debug) the <content> element still contained the formatted place-holder content. Hence the SWF-file could not be found and the 'initial content not found' error occured.
