Question

Will Adobe AIR apps work on iOS (Javascript/HTML)?

Hello,

I haven't been able to find any definitive answer on whether Adobe AIR apps using Javascript and HTML can work on iOS.

Anyone know for sure?

And if so, what happens with the APIs available through these swfs that we currently include:

networkInfoWrapper.swf

servicemonitor.swf

applicationupdater_ui.swf

Many thanks

Stephen

PhoneGap looks great - but we need our app to run as a desktop app as well as on mobile.

Any other suggestions for a solution that would work across desktop and mobile?

thanks

Stephen

Ok. Thanks for that although it is bad news as far as our project is concerned.

Anyone for Titanium?

Phonegap is another popular option. <plug>Dreamweaver CS5.5 has an option for publishing mobile apps using Phonegap http://blogs.adobe.com/preran/2011/05/dreamweavers-integration-with-jquery-mobile-and-phonegap.html </plug> (Although it isn't fully featured yet.)

The answer is no. Apps developed for AIR using HTML and JavaScript are not supported on iOS or other mobile platforms. The mobile platforms do include a StageWebView component that can be used to load and display HTML and JavaScript. However, it is entirely different than the HTMLLoader control used on the desktop platforms (for HTML-based AIR apps). You cannot, for example, call any AIR/Flash APIs from JavaScript running in a StageWebView. In general, very little communication is possible between your ActionScript application code and the JavaScript code running in the StageWebView object.
