Hello everybody

I would like to install an air application on many systems (Mac OS X) using remote install. Is there a way to achieve this?

Is there a pure command line utility to install Adobe AIR applications (.air files) in Mac OS X?

Thanks. Masteradi

Thanks for your reply. I already knew that command but it's good to see it again.

In the meantime I have found a tool called ARH (AIR Redistribution Helper) which can be used to install an air application, uninstall an air application, etc.

Now I would like to create a .pkg file (for Mac OS X) that will use ARH together with my .air file and that will install or update (uninstall/install) the application. But I guess this is no more an issue for Adobe AIR. I have to learn the tools specific for Mac (Iceberg, Xcode).

Best regards

In case you haven't done this already, you'll also want to fill out our Adobe AIR Runtime Distribution agreement.  It's a quick process and should only take a minute or two to complete.

Thanks,

Chris
