Hi folks, was wondering if an app (Android) generated with captive runtime, still ask the user to install AIR plugin. If somebody knows ( and maybe have an example actually on market ) , i'll be glad to pay him/her a beer !

Thanks in advance

It will not ask to install the plugin. But instead your apk will increase by some megabytes (10 in my case). I personally decided to stick to the plugin, spare the users the additional load, spread the word that AIR is still an option and ignore whiners about the plugin on the comments (~1%).

Talking about it I wish the popup to install the plugin would be a bit more informative for the end user, telling them that AIR is what actually makes the application possible. I get ratings as this: Adobe Air. Why? 1 Star

Thanks man, but for my next project the plugin popup was not an option ( the client absolutely don't want it) . I was choosing from various option (Native Android, Titanium ) , but due to the short deadline i'll can use my favourite languages ... i'm glad i have this opportunity!
