I published an app to Air 2.5 (.air) from Adobe Flash CS 5 and afterwards also to Air Android (.apk)
Since then I receive this error message if I try to publish as .air again:

Error creating files. Icon file is missing.

I tried to delete and recreate the folder and pathes but the error still appears.

How to fix that?

    it seems like Flash is caching the need for the different icons (air packages ask for different icon sizes than air for android apks).

    The only way I was able to continue was to rename my apk name, package name, etc and NOT specify icons anymore if i wanted to test the project as both an air package and an apk.

    • I just switched over an app from iOS to AIR for Android publishing and was getting this icon error. Deleting the xxx_app.xml file fixed it immediately. Might have been some extra tags in there from the iOS build that were being read during publishing but not cleaned up when I made the switch… haven’t diffed them so not sure what might have caused the error..

    AIR Application error code 303: The icon files specified in the
    application descriptor must be added to the package by including them
    among the files listed on the ADT command line. Icon files are not
    added automatically.
