Question

What's the status of GPU render mode on mobile targets?

Hi,

I've developed a few applications for Android and IOS using AIR. Specifically using the GPU render mode alongside StageQuality.LOW for better performance.

I was hoping for information on whether this is still a usable method as last year there was a period where it appeared depreciated or at least not supported on high res Android:

Lorenzon Nuvoletta's google plus thread:

The 'fixed' bug:

The 'issue' is now marked as fixed, but I am still a little concerned about it's use in future. Are Adobe still supporting this render mode?

Thanks,

Nick H

Hi Nick,

We don't plan any further enhancements for GPU mode.  Our recommendation is to use stage3D (or use frameworks like Starling) with direct mode, rather than using GPU mode if at all possible.

Thanks,

Chris
