Hi there I managed to find a solution to the problem. It has to do with outdated app xml config files (which I think don't get committed into source control)
So after importing my project from source control, I create a new application (eg. Test) and run / debug it, which works fine. Compare the 2 app xml config files. In the new file at the top you will see a line: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> In the old file I had: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1"> I actually copied all the data over from my original app to the test app, but if you replace just that line of xml, the original project should run fine.
