Hello,

is it already possible to build Android instant apps with Adobe Air (maybe through any ANE)? Android instant apps are apps that run through the browser on a given URL and according to the documentation, work with the same source code of the original app. Here is the documentation:

"Android Instant Apps need to be structured into URL-addressable modules that are lesser than 4MB in size." Don't let yourself get fooled by the attractive word: "instant", that surely means you can publish your app  in 2 seconds max, or a day, or a week .... Nooope, it's just a word, for most existing apps it means reworking the entire app into something that can work with that system, for new apps it means creating something that can't be later publish as a real app without major refactoring. You sure you want that?

Hey,

I am not worried about publishing times, but if users were able to play our games on the mobile browser instead of downloading an app that would for sure be an improvement for user conversion.

Kind regards

Well, if the limit is really 4MB, there isn't going to be any instant AIR apps soon, since the core AIR is roughly 26MB on Android
