i am waiting for a clear answer from adobe responsibles

will stop android,ios,win,mac exporting in animate cc (based on as3) after 2020 ?

this question is based on this adobe statement  : https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/

I guess that Animate CC and Mobile Device Packaging will live on. What will stop in 2020 (and is already in heavy decline) is everything build for the Flash Player.

"Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to .. open formats."

So AIR for Desktop, Android and iOS will live on. And Actionscript 3 as well. No need to drop out.

I don't even understand what you mean by "the game and app". What game? What app?
