Error creating air native extension - output file is not writable

In an effort to learn how to create a native extension on my own, I've looked to the examples and help documentation from Adobe. I have actually created the required files for the extension (the native code, extension descriptor, the swc library and library.swf). However, when I run the command to build the .ane file I get this error:

/Users/dalston/TeamAGC/sdk/4.6.0/bin/adt -package -target ane ../release/DeviceInfoExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DeviceInfoExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDeviceInfo.a

output file is not writable

I also tried a variation of that command that results in the same error (which comes straight from the Adobe help docs):

/Users/dalston/TeamAGC/sdk/4.6.0/bin/adt -package -target ane ../release/DeviceInfoExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DeviceInfoExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM -C platform/ios . -platform default -C platform/default library.swf

output file is not writable

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance for your help!

Had the exact same problem, "output file is not writable" and found solution.

In your case, change the

..release/DeviceInfoExtension.ane

to

DeviceInfoExtension.ane

Normally its the path where ANE is being placed that throws this error, so safest way is to run name.ane without any relative path indicators

My guess would be that the folder ../release/ doesn't exist. I had this same error and it was just a silly mistake of specifying a non-existent output folder.
