Question

Adobe AIR applications won't work on Big Sur Beta

Hello there,

Tested several AIR applications targetting native MacOS on Big Sur Beta 2 & 3, and all of them won't displays content, the only thing visible is the title bar. I reported this issue to Apple support and waiting for a reply ... or a fix.

 

Event, official AIR runtime installation is affected by this critical issue.
Hope we will have a fix before Apple releases his new OS.

    I can confirm that our app compiled with Flex 4.16.1 and Air 32.0 (64bit) runs on Big Sur M1 after update to 11.0.1

    Did you need to compile it using Big Sur? I have an app compiled on 10.13.6 and I get the MenuBar only issue.

    I am running the Big Sur release, and it looks like AIR applications run fine expect

    flash.media.Camera.names returns nothing when there are webcams connected to the computer. I tried using the AIR 33.1 with the same result

    No. There needs to be an update for Adobe AIR to fix. See

    https://github.com/Gamua/Adobe-Runtime-Support/issues/532

    And up vote the bug:

    Hi, any update on this issue? Anybody? Big Sur is officially out and Adobe AIR apps are all broken, not showing the content of its window. Not a word on HARMAN's release notes for latest SDKs.

    Hello people,

    We succeed in compiling our project with the very lastest Harman's SDK (33.1), we had to update Java to a 64 bits version. As we are using Flex, we also had to use the lastest Apache Flex SDK (I think it was the cause of the issue) AND we had to compile with the old flex compiler (with flex 3 compatibility option).

    This resolved the bug, we didn't found any other problem on BigSur for now.

    I am having the exact same issue.  I upgraded to the Big Sur beta and now an Adobe Air application I use for work/business does not display its contents.  I hope Adobe can fix this, soon!
