Adobe AIR framework not working - code suggestions not fixing the issue

Report · Jan 05, 2020

I just wondered if I you might know any solutions to get Adobe AIR to work since the newest update? Since I downloaded it, it shows me this message: "Adobe.AIR framework is damaged and can't be opened". I've tried running the lines of code that have been recommended on this forum, and others. It doesn't show any items to quarantine, so the code has nothing to remove. I have checked that Adobe Air is in the "frameworks" folder. When I run the code, it says:

/Library/Frameworkssudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ./Adobe\ AIR.framework

-bash: cd: /Library/Frameworkssudo: No such file or directory

I'm not an expert with coding or anything, so any help is appreciated!

I'm guessing you're trying to do the steps shown here?

If that's the case, it looks you may have copied and pasted the code all as one line in the terminal instead of two. First type "cd /Library/Frameworks", then hit return, then do the second line that starts with sudo.

I did -- I tried it again on different lines, but it still is not working. When I do the check ls -l@ ./Adobe\ AIR.framework/ , it shows me this:

ls -l@ ./Adobe\ AIR.framework/

Don't no if this helps, but the release notes for the latest AIR SDK (33.0.2.338) from Harman lists this in Fixed Issues: "Correcting detection of Catalina OS version".
