Yes, you are right that adobe air sdk does not support linux from 2.7 and higher. Thats true for mobile apps too. More details can be found at http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/06/adobe-air-and-linux-increasing-distribution-on-devices.html

ok, so, we cannot compile the swf air apps higher than 2.6 on a linux, but here's a more important question: will I be able to package the apk using the adt tool in linux? consider that I am coding in a windows and am successfully compiling the required .swf files but I want to package the final apk in a linux enviroment, would that possible?

Why do you want to do the packaging in linux when you are compiling the .swf files on windows? Earlier versions of adt wont allow you to package the swf and app-xml containing the new namespace >=2.7.
