"error while loading initial content" after upgrade to Flex Builder 3.0.2

I finally got around to upgrading to Flex Builder 3.0.2 (and the new 3.2 SDK!). After the upgrade, however, I couldn't run my AIR project in the in the AIR debugger :(

Flex Builder displayed an error dialog showing the command it used to debug my app, and it's resulting output: "error while loading initial content".

Fortunately, as described in this JIRA bug, the solution was simple. Update the namespace in your AIR project's AppName-app.xml file to reflect the new AIR version 1.5:

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">

Thank you so very very very very very very much for posting this. I had no idea why I was getting the error and honestly didn't even remember upgrading to Flex Builder 3.0.2.

As the previous poster said - your pain saved me from having that pain.

THANKS FOR POSTING!

Great thanks for the help!

Would be handy if Adobe added a more useful error message ;)

yay thank you! i have had many, many problems with Adobe utilities' error reporting... they are very good at telling you that there *is* a problem, just not what it is.
