how to build signed air package mobile project for installation on desktop? In flashbuilder has this option. it's possible?

You need to specify your app's signingOptions in your asconfig.json file. Example:

"airOptions": {
	"output": "bin/MyApp.air",
	"signingOptions": {
		"storetype": "pkcs12",
		"keystore": "path/to/certificate.p12"
	}
}

Then, run the appropriate AIR desktop packaging task. It will ask for your certificate's password during the build process.

I created a air project and set signingOptions for windows:

"config": "air"

"windows": {
			"output": "bin/atendi-mobile.air",
			"signingOptions": {
				"storetype": "pkcs12",
				"keystore": "cert/desktop/atendi_desktop.p12"
			}
		}, 

The project with these settings, does not find the mobile classes:

• spark.skins.mobile:TextInputSkin
• spark.skins.mobile.supportClasses.ButtonSkinBase

How to add them to the project?

When you create a mobile app, you would normally use "config": "airmobile" instead. However, it looks like are creating a desktop app, but using the mobile framework/theme, for some reason. I believe that there are one or more compiler options that you must use to allow a Flex desktop app to use the mobile theme, but I do not recall exactly what is necessary. I've never actually done that in any of my own projects. I've only seen that others have figured out how to do it.

If you still have access to Flash Builder, you could try adding the dump-config compiler option to have Flash Builder write all of the compiler options it uses to an XML file. Then, you might be able to figure out which ones are required.

--dump-config+=path/to/file.xml

Problem solved. I added this tag in air.config

   <theme>
     <filename>themes/Mobile/mobile.swc</filename>
  </theme>
