Question

Branched AIR 32 Runtime still be available for download after 2020

Does anyone know if I build Adobe Air into a project so it doesn't need the separate runtime will the builtin runtime refuse to run after the end of the year, similar to what the Flash Player is going to do? I'm having some issues getting Harmans SDK working at the moment, and just wondering if I can buy myself sometime, or if it's a do or die situation.

    I had a response to a similar question I asked. AIR is not affected by the Flash Player EOL so nothinng to worry about.

     

    Here's the response I got hope this helps.

     

    "There is a feature switch in the Adobe Flash Player that turns on in January, which means that the Flash Player – as running in your browser – will by default block all content (from 12th January). But this is not present in Adobe AIR at all. AIR runtimes and applications are completely unaffected by the end of life of Flash Player (unless those applications were then loading in the Flash Player themselves, of course).

     

    So if you have an AIR app built using an old version of the AIR SDK, absolutely nothing changes. If you have an older version of the AIR SDK yourself, you can continue to use it, and to make applications, and to distribute them. Adobe are no longer making older versions available, and aren’t making any further changes to the AIR runtime or SDK, but there is nothing stopping people from continuing to enjoy what they have."
