I found the answer... the first line is missing from Air Luanhcpad, the next two were wrong. Line 2 says 1.0 and where it says versionNumber, it did say version!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5"> <versionNumber>1.06</versionNumber> Hours of wasted time! Hope this saves someone else the time that I put into this unnecessarily. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "DavidW" <drclohite@...> wrote: > > I am running Flex 4.5 on a mac and I am about ready to release, but > the auto update aint working... > > It is the final thing before release. > I keep getting the error There was an error checking for updates.
