Question

What are these files?

I was comparing AIR frameworks files between two macOS AIR app versions (one was causing an issue) and I noticed three unique files contained in the problematic app. They are located in "Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources" and are named:

  • adobecp.plugin
  • adobecp.vch
  • AdobeCP15.plugin

When these files are removed the app appears to still function normally. What are these files and are they mandatory for AIR app functionality? I'm just looking for some clarification as to why they may have appeared in one app and not another.

They seem to be part of Flex, suggesting that one app is a Flex based one, using the Flex version of the SDK, and the other one is using the regular SDK.

As far as I can tell, they may have to do with content DRM. Can a dev or someone qualified verify this for me?
