URGENT: We need Adobe AIR for Android to support for Google's 64-bit requirement by August 2019

Hello.

Adobe AIR needs an update to support 64-bit APKs and Google will stop accepting 32-bit only APKs in August 2019.

This tracker issue was published 3 months ago. And it's a very important issue, not a bug that only a couple of developers stumbled on. No, it's something that affects 100% percent of the developers. And in these 3 months, nobody from Adobe AIR's staff bothered to reply in the tracker:

Tracker

NOBODY from the Adobe AIR team dropped even a single lousy one-liner reply in 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!

I think Adobe wants to kill Adobe AIR sometime around this year. It's not even half normal that a very important issue such as this is not only not addressed with only a few months to go until the August deadline, but we haven't even received a single reply from anyone working in Adobe AIR saying "we're working on it", none AT ALL!!!!

And this tracker page has more than enough feedback from a multitude of users. Still, complete silence. It seems as if nobody was working on Adobe AIR anymore.

Any comment from someone working at Adobe? Chris Campbell? Anyone?!

      Good news!

      "Starting in June 2019 with the release of AIR 33, HARMAN will be providing the platform support and feature development for the AIR runtime and the SDK. AIR 33 will support 64-bit Android devices and will be available on a commercial basis. Further details will be released shortly, please check back here or email us at adobe.support@harman.com to be informed when these are available."

      What that commercial license will cost you is the question now.

        This is a very big issue, our company has already started porting our projects to Unity. Not because we want to use it over AIR, but because the Adobe team has said literally nothing about this. One word of confirmation that this is being worked on would stop our porting process entirely.

        Also an interesting fact, despite the announcement earlier about EOL Flash in 2020, AIR would actually have a shorter lifespan than Flash even though they said they would continue to work on it.
