title: Application descriptor cannot be parsed AIR
body: <p>I get the error: Application descriptor cannot be parsed</p>
  
  <p>when trying to compile to air 4.0 :( any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>I was able to compile in Flash CS5.5 but after switching to cs6.0 i am having problems.</p>
  
  <p>I am also trying to use admob ads, as seen at the bottom.  This could be a source of the error also.  This is driving me crazy, almost 27 hours into it and no solution.</p>

  &lt;!-- To localize the description, use the following format for the description element.&lt;description&gt;&lt;text xml:lang="en"&gt;English App description goes here&lt;/text&gt;&lt;text xml:lang="fr"&gt;French App description goes here&lt;/text&gt;&lt;text xml:lang="ja"&gt;Japanese App description goes here&lt;/text&gt;&lt;/description&gt;--&gt;
    &lt;name&gt;Happy Cute Puppy&lt;/name&gt;
