Adobe AIR nativeProcess support profile

I am working on a project which requires nativeProcess support. For this purpose, I choose the extendedDesktop profile in AIR settings (Flash cs6). But when I publish the AIR executable, an error pops up saying: "Descriptor must support one of the following profiles: desktop, mobileDevice, extendedMobileDevice, tv, mobileDeviceBase". If I add both the Desktop and the extendedDesktop profile support to the app then nativeProcess.isSupported() returns false. Why is that?

Answering my own question:

It turns out you have to specify the profiles in a certain order. If you want to support Desktop profile and have ExtendedDesktop profile capabilities (eg. nativeProcess) you have to specify it in your application's .xml file like this:

<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop desktop</supportedProfiles>

Also, when publishing, make sure to choose Output as: Windows Installer or otherwise you won't get nativeProcess support when you run the installed app.

This is what you need: < supportedProfiles > extendedDesktop desktop < / supportedProfiles > also note that the compiler argument must be set as well in run/debug settings -> command line arguments: -profile extendedDesktop
