debug mobile device

I guess that in order to debug the app deployed on mobile device you should add the -connect parameter. I think that <target>apk-debug</target> is not enough.

Actually I don't think that this plugin is a tool suitable to preparing debug packages. This is job of IDE. I will approve patch if you make it.

Well I think that you can safely develop using maven as a build environment and the sdk tools for debugging whatever IDE you decide to use (vi, emacs, gedit, notepad are perfect candidates don't you think so?).
I'll prepare a path as soon I can find some spare time :-)

You are right about the -connect parameter. This will make the AIR runtime listen for debugger connections from the Flash debugger (fdb). However, I noticed that most IDEs (IntelliJ and most likely Flash Builder) won't let you start debugging sessions without repackaging/re-installing the game on device. Using fdb from the command line, you should be able to launch debugging sessions "the hard way" :)

If you wish to debug native/Java code used a Native Extension from your app, I don't think the -connect parameter is need though. (see http://diadraw.com/how-to-debug-your-android-ane/)
