Here's a quick list: 1) You should uninstall the Apollo alpha runtime and re-install the AIR Beta runtime (I know, duh, but I did want to mention this :-) 2) As you noted in your post, the AIR Beta XML Descriptor file has changed since the Apollo alpha release. To test or package your applications to run with the AIR Beta runtime, I suggest taking a 'skeleton' of an AIR XML Descriptor file (Flex 3 Builder will create this for you automatically when creating a new AIR Project) and copying and pasting the corresponding things like the appId, the name, description, copyright, and any icons you may have added from your Apollo XML Descriptor file to your AIR XML Descriptor file. Take care to not copy any deprecated tags (for instance, as you mentioned, publisher) into the AIR XML Descriptor file. As always, the XML must be well-formed, so copy and paste cleanly. :-) 3) In the parent MXML file, change the opening and closing tags from to 4) Test your freshly updated AIR application. You should be good to go. Hope this helps, Mike G :-) There are several things to keep in mind when porting your Apollo alpha applications to run under the AIR Beta runtime. Here’s a quick list:
