If you want an alternative to flash/air you should use Cocos2d.

raywenderlich.com covers this as well as CocosBuilder.

Thanks. Ray's site is definitely bookmarked. Currently "enrolled" in the Stanford University series on iTunes U.

Basically, I'm coming to the realization that with all the exorbitant time I'm spending writing code to deal with AIR's iOS bugs and shortcomings*, my time would be much better spent just learning the native language for the platform.

(* Native video player bugs, lack of native scroll, alerts, etc... and all the trials and circumstances that come with trying to tie in a bunch of ANE extensions to bring in such basic OS functionality... It's just gotten ridiculous)

It really depends what you want to do. If you want to program native business applications for iOS, AS3 is obviously not the right choice. If you want to do Rich-Media crossplatform applications, you're much better of with AS3 than developing a couple of native applications.

You should have ask this in Apple Developer Center, not in Adobe forum.

Let me clarify: I'm asking for opinions from the perspective of those who are used to programming with Actionscript.

There are free video courses online from Stanford that are pretty good.

Search in iTunes U for "Xcode".
