Adobe AIR 2017 Roadmap

In 2016, Chris Campbell reached out to developers through the Starling community to create wishlist for AIR in 2016.  That worked out pretty well.  However, there has no followup this year.

What can we expect from Adobe and the AIR runtime for 2017?  As the landscape continues to change, many of us rely on Adobe's commitment to AIR.

Hi guys,

We're working on our 2017 and beyond roadmap, using the Starling thread that Daniel created and refreshed this year for inspiration.  I'll post back to the thread with our thoughts, but encourage those that haven't visited to take a look and see if any of the recent suggestions are appealing or provide feedback for items that haven't been posted.

MEDIUM and LOW quality settings in AIR for Desktop please. Games with heavy use of the display list perform much better on lower settings for Flash player, but in AIR only HIGH quality is available.

Another major improvement that is needed, That I'm currently struggling with, is AIR's 1.7G memory limit. 

It would be great if AIR could address more memory.  4K images eat up memory quickly.


Also, it's a bit disheartening the lack of response to this thread.

I'd love it if there was a simple way of changing the screen resolution in Desktop AIR. Either an ANE or a built in feature would be great.

This other one isn't really Starling related, but I'd love it if Desktop AIR supported LOW and MEDIUM stage quality like Flash Player does. This would be incredibly useful when porting old web games to Steam.

Great news!

Here was a great suggestion by rewb0rn

Discussion: Structure of the forums

The adobe forums as3/air/flash subforums are kind of all fragmented and hidden. It would be a great help to unify these in some way, perhaps if its an easy fix, even just leaving them the same but have an "all" front page like the starling forums has.

A one stop shop for all your as3 needs!

I'd love to hear this as well. I've published over 30 AIR apps to the App Store and Google Play in the last year. Hope to continue this workflow.
