Is there an official statement about Adobe AIR being supported beyond 2020, or is it also reaching its end of life then?

After the announcement of FP EOL in 2020, the project manager for AIR did the following post:

Let me start by saying that today's announcement was not about AIR, and instead focuses entirely on Flash Player and the browser plugin environment. Adobe remains committed to AIR and we believe it continues to be a great desktop and mobile development platform.

So although it is a bit vogue and general, you cant take it that AIR will live after 2020. However, it looks like AIR is in a sunseting mode.

    Important to note: that less than clear comment about AIR was TWO years ago.  You can find the post and it will show October 2018--but that's simply the date the moderator locked the thread.

      The Flash Plugin for browsers is what ends at the start of 2021. AIR continues to get frequent updates, and Adobe Animate continues to add features. I'm not sure if there are any public statements about AIR and Animate not being affected by the removal of browser plugins, but as they're not related to each other they may not think to make such an announcement. AIR has never run inside a browser.

      Hi.. we have an application created using adobe flex. This application is really big with 300 pages written using MXML, AS3, and Java. We run this application on the browser. Since flex is sunsetting,we need to think of other technologies... is there any documentation to move from flex(browser-based) to Adobe air?
