Thoughts on Air supporting new Arm 64-bit CPU in iPhone 5s

Hi guys,

Just wondering what the info is surrounding Air supporting the 64-bit architecture.

As Apple say the existing 32-bit apps will work fine but, what's the plan going forwards...or isn't there one yet?

Dave.

    Why is Adobe mute on this matter?

    In less than 4 months we won't be able to update our apps on the iOS app store. We need to be able to tell our clients what is going to happen. If Adobe is not going to deliver on time, we may need to migrate our projects to other technologies ASAP.

    This is an emergency Adobe.

      They are not mute. Here are two other threads where Adobe people have joined in:

      Thanks Colin, I didn't see those threads.

      This thread is the first link Google throws so it's good you posted those links for other people to see.

      Well it looks like we'll be needing that 64 bit support rather soon..

      Hi Jake,

      There will be a lot of very disappointed developers if this doesn't get sorted in time.

      This will really put people off AIR if it ain't possible to submit apps for a significant length of time after the deadline. We still wait to

      update users properly for the new iPhones   ... and they came out over a month ago.

      Adobe need to workout a better relationship with Apple and get a heads up on these events, instead of just reacting at last minute .

      Hi Dave,

      We would certainly like to support 64-bit architecture natively, but honestly it is too early to comment on that. We will be evaluating this capability and the possible resulting gains, and based on that will take a call.

      Will keep you guys posted.

      Thanks,

        Hey Romil,

        Thanks for the prompt reply!

        Just curious but great to have dialogue

        Any thoughts on the Nokia/Windows/Microsoft news? Does that alter plans at all to support Windows mobile as Unity and Marmalade amongst others do?

        Appreciated that market-share isn't great compared to iOS and Android but, clients consistently want to support it.

        Air rocks

        Hi Dave,

        No, as of now, there hasn't been any further change in the plans for Windows mobile.

          I'm curious too.

          But (in general), one app design/updated to 64 bit, can still run in older devices or have to be shiped in 2 versions (like HD apps) ?
