AIR33 Where is it?

AND THIS

The requirement does not apply to:

• APKs or app bundles explicitly targeting Wear OS or Android TV, which are form factors that do not currently support 64-bit code.
• APKs or app bundles that are not distributed to devices running Android 9 Pie or later.

Pfiouh :-)

Will have the time to make the transition properly...

OK so someone tell me where to download Air SDK from now on?

Honestly, I think Harman will be charging for it.

update soon

The answer is a big YES, those ANEs will be added in the coming few weeks but we had to release the current set of updates to clear our plate first because we have the Harman AIR SDK 33 beta to play with and the Google deadline is very near. So we need to shift our focus on preparing the ANEs for Android 64-bit and release updates as soon as possible. So you will have enough time to update your apps as required.

I don't believe that criticism would be worst for AIR right now because almost no one talk about AIR.

It's a room with just a few guys, period (unfortunately but seems that some dudes don't want to face the reality and remove their head from the sand).

On a very basic search on google for "top mobile frameworks 2019" (I don't even dare to mention top web and that's one of the big issues) and you will find 0 mentions about Adobe AIR.

Not so long (a few years ago) and before AIR enter on maintenance mode, you would find mentions to AIR and on the top 1 or 2.

You will find now Xamarin, Flutter and a lot of JS libraries.

Xamarin is currently, the most stable, reliant, mature and performance almost native.

Flutter is promising however is a alpha product, for now (on my opinion) and there are almost no libraries (it's a fact).

JS libraries on mobile, well, I don't need to mention a lot but it's like a car on a river (just stupid but it's my opinion).

Hi Andrew

I've just read your detailed email about the future of AIR with Harman which sets out how you see the immediate and near-term future of AIR development, and it's great in two ways - first to get such a detailed response at all and also that Harman are taking AIR seriously.

One of the biggest problems with Adobe was uncertainty and lack of communication. They always managed to fix absolutely critical issues (that say prevented being able to submit to the App Store), security issues were being addressed and other bugs were gradually being cleaned up but it never felt like they were really backing it - it felt like the AIR dev team were getting things fixed despite Adobe rather than because of them. This environment allowed fud to thrive (and of course the debacle with Flash didn't help much) and when you see review after review of "the top ten cross platform dev tools" where AIR isn't even mentioned ... and frustrating because the same reviews would be waxing lyrical about things I've been able to do for 10 years or more. Uncertainty makes it hard to stay invested and Adobe never did much about it, so devs have gradually drifted away - in my case to Xamarin for most new projects.

Anyway it's great to see that AIR may get some proper support and I really hope you can rebuild the community around it - you seem to be on top of the communication side and that makes a huge difference. Obviously pricing will matter - up to now the AIR SDK has been free (I use it with FlashDevelop which is just brilliant) , Xamarin and Flutter are free, Unity has a free option - so it may not be easy to move to another model.

In your email you asked about feature requests - my vote is for better multi threading options. It can already be done but it's clumsy. Beyond that an integrated 3D engine but I guess that's a bigger deal.

Thanks again!

I have a suggestion. For those who started a while ago, you probably created 1024 bits certificates on android and finally ended up to still use old Animate 2015 CC because it's packaged with JRE that still support old certs. It would be great if we find a solution to keep using old certs and new certs.

I understand perfectly the frustration of some of you with the treatment that Adobe has given to AIR.

But what I do not understand is those who are already happy with another technology, that you have the need to come and show your frustration to the forums ... If I were really happy with this new technology, I would care very little what happens with AIR.

I would change the chip, I would focus on my new developments and the rest would be part of the past.

P.D .: Everyone can come freely to express what they want, of course. I'm just saying that I think it's a waste of time on your part.

I'm also interested to know about the futur of animate CC as we use animate to create our apps. After 2020 who will support animate CC to build our apps?

I need some clarifications about the further developments. I've been using adobe air through animate CC to create games on android and ios. My questions are:

1- Who will continue to support and develop Flash Player and AS encapsulated in AIR for android and ios?

2- What about Animate support? Will Adobe continue to support and develop in collaboration with Harman?

Thank you
