Our mobile application requires adobe air to work. when our clients download our applications from google play, it requires them to download and install adobe air to finish installation. Starting Wednesday, We received so many complaints that clients receive "adobe does not exist" on google play.

Was there any changes on the availability region? Pleas let me know what has been changed and what is the solution.

Yes, as noted this was removed recently.  That said, users can grab the .apk directly from the links on our archive page (which we have no plans on removing).

Find and download archived versions of Adobe AIR SDK

We understand this is not optimal, but we decided to stop development of the Android shared runtime back in May 2017 and Google's enforcement of updated libraries required us to make a hard choice to de-list.

So...you're saying that the Adobe Air app is indeed required on my phone for the optimal functioning of all my other Adobe apps (i.e. Fill & Sign, Acrobat Reader, etc.)?

Why is everything adobe does is so clever? How I can enter such long address in my phone browser? I can download the file onto my comp and download it, but it refused by my android phone browser. Says that file is not found 404.

 Next, I am scared that I will be needed to download the same in my iphone.

So does this mean we can no longer develop for Android. I know we can embed the run time but will that still work in the future?

Does that mean that we won't be able to debug on new devices too? I tried downloaded and installed the apk from the given link in a new device, but whenever I tried to debug using Flash Builder, it just keep prompting me to install the latest AIR in my device. I already had it installed, but I click okay to install it via flash builder and it will get stuck at 57%.
