4 years ago This error can also be displayed if src/myAppName-app.xml contains invalid XML, so it may be worth checking if it's valid or not.

Nope! its empty! Also in terminal its :- The terminal process terminated with exit code: 2
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

Since there's an exit code, that means that the build task failed. There's no point in trying to debug until your build completes successfully. Are there any additional errors in the terminal before it prints the exit code?

4 years ago yes! but those are warnings! in the terminal they are shown as errors! warnings like type not declared, return type not mentioned etc

4 years ago It wouldn't exit with a code if there weren't an error, and warnings are different from errors. Are there a lot of warnings? It can be easy to miss a real error in the middle. I once had to work on a project a project that was reporting dozens of errors, and it was sometimes very difficult to a single error that caused the build to fail.

4 years ago Depending on which SDK you are using, there may sometimes be errors in the terminal that do not appear in the problems panel.

}I copied Error: Unexpected character. '' is not allowed here into my local editor. Using the left/right arrow keys on my keyboard, I can determine that some kind of invisible character is between the two ' symbols. I need to press the arrow key twice to get past it.
That may be tricky for you to solve. If I had to guess it may be a UTF byte order mark (BOM). I would try copying and pasting the contents of StringUtils.as into a different file. Then, delete the original StringUtils.as. Save the new file in its place. If that doesn't work, you'll need to search for a solution for removing the BOM character. I'm sure that there's a relatively easy solution out there.

Thanks for the fix! Actually I tried that but the issue persisted! Upon enquiring the same in starling forum, JohnBlackburne suggested to check the same in BBedit, and yes there was a blank space in front of package! So upon removing it, everything works fine!
I am unable to debug swf for my adobe air mobile project, tried both swf and simulator, getting same error!
