Unfortunately the latest release of AIR2.6 in the Flex 4.5 SDK, (bundled with Flash Builder 4.5), has presented a familiar problem trying to auto-update your applications from AIR2.5.

If you’ve ever noticed your AIR app release build acting a bit odd, chances are you’ve caused a fatal error. You could try adding Global Error Handling support to your app to try and catch these uncaught errors, but unfortunately global error handling is pretty useless when trying to identify bugs in your AIR release build. Firsty, it will only catch errors from components on the stage which leaves everything else within your app free to fail silently, (mediators, commands, utility classes etc). Secondly, even if you do catch an error from the stage you’ll only be presented with a nondescript one liner with no access to the stack trace.
