adobe air apk won't run on android 4.4.2

Question

I have a android 4.1.2 device and my adobe air as3 apk runs on it. I also have a 4.4.2 device, and the apk doesn't run on that one. I am having a tough time finding out what's wrong, though. Has anyone found this problem too? I would love ddms output, like I am used to from eclipse, but I don't know how to start.

I've googled a little, but the problem seems to be mine alone. I am using Flash CS6 on a windows install as my development environment. Also, the AIR version on CS6 is 3.4.

Any help would be appreciated. I am using a captive runtime.

Answer 1

It's because of the old AIR version. Here's a link saying that the 'new' 3.9 now supports KitKat (Android 4.4.2): http://news.softpedia.com/news/Adobe-Air-with-Android-4-4-KitKat-Support-Out-Now-on-Google-Play-417056.shtml

Try updating your SDK AND your AIR on the phone.
