Question

Where can I find archived versions of AIR 3.3?

I've been converting and publishing a large number of small Flash games to AIR for Android. I was using the AIR SDK 3.3.0.3650 libraries, and I need to find those libraries again so I can build the exact same build environment on my home system.

You'd think that the latest 3.3.0.3670 or 3690 would be the same thing - especially since no major revision numbers changed - but you'd be wrong.

The latest libraries crash my Flash Pro CS6 when trying to publish for AIR for Android. I get "system error - cannot find aapt.exe". And that's because 'aapt.exe' has change to 'aapt' which appears to be a compiled bat file or symbolic link file.

I searched the Flash archives page but it only has older major revisions and isn't any help.

Are their any other trustworthy flash sites where I could download the 3.3.0.3650 version?

Is there any way to convince Adobe to not make major changes to AIR SDK without changing the revision number?

Is there any way to convince Adobe that EVERY released version of AIR SDK needs to be on their archive page?

Thanks in advance.

And I'm back. You guys did it again. Can't compile in Flash Pro CS6 with AIR SDK 3.4.0.2710 and yet I was working just fine under 3.4.0.2540. The same exact error - no aapt.exe file.

And yet again I'm back and finally found your archive page - and guess what? Only the broken 2710 version of AIR 3.4 is listed.

This is becoming a pattern - or should I say and anti-pattern. Bad, Bad Adobe!

Again, I request that EVERY version of the runtimes and SDK's that you release to the public be added to the archive page.

I also request that every version of the AIR SDK runtimes released to the Google Play store for android devices be listed on an archive page.

I made the mistake of updating my Android mobile testing device to 2710 and I think this is adding to my problems and I'd like to roll it back as well.

As a side note, any word on when AIR 3.5 is out?

Hi Kevin,

I'm sorry this happened to you again.  I've talked with the team about this in the past and we have gone back and added major releases, but as you noted our minor updates are not included.  I've asked again if we can just include the older build when a new one is released.

I'm curious about the underlying issue.  Would you be willing to add a bug report on this at bugbase.adobe.com?

Here's the SDK's you've requested:

Windows 3.4.0.2540 SDK

Mac 3.4.0.2540 SDK

As for AIR 3.5, it shouldn't be long.  We have a beta if you're interested in checking it out.

Sorry these files aren't on the archive page.  We're working on getting this fixed.  I know other users have had to resort to Filehippo for the runtime.  I can send you a copy of the 3.3.0.3670 SDK if you want to contact me at ccampbel@adobe.com.  Please let me know what platform you'd like.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris-

Has the archive page been updated?  I came across http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html but it doesn't have 3.2 or 3.3 versions of the SDK. Is there another AIR download archive?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

I noticed that too.  I've talked with the person responsible for the page and was told it would be updated asap.

Thanks,

Chris
