Still big problem with "Adobe AIR 16" and "Adobe AIR 17"

Phonegap Build is nice but performances can in no shape or form be compared to Air. I wouldn't use AIR for 'forms' applications. I wouldn't use Phonegap to make games.

Yeah, I find it crazy with over a billion installs of Flash player and the billions of mobile devices that could have flash developed content that the pace is so slow.  There is (still) a real opportunity here, why would you not invest in it?  That is reach that many companies would drool over.

The only thing that ever gets fixed is "security and stability issues".  Bugs on cameraroll are YEARS old and getting worse.  Not having access to camera features on mobile platforms is ridiculous.  I am getting a bit jaded on this topic, I feel like my creative cloud account is just being milked. 

Camera roll api is a mess.  I had some moderately successful apps on android that used it but now because of all the issues, they are dead.  Bugs in there over a year with a ton of votes.  This is a core api for a mobile device.  Not sure who is driving the roadmap but all bugs I vote on are 'totrack' or 'unverified'.

    My code demonstration. Done with "Flash cc" and "Adobe Air 16".

    Stage size: 880X480

    My application xml:

    <systemChrome>standard</systemChrome>

        <transparent>false</transparent>

        <visible>true</visible>

        <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>

        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>

        <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>

    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients></initialWindow>

    How to simulate:

    1) click on button "Load picture"

    2) click on button "Cancel" in CameraRoll

    Result::

    1) If you click in the text field, the keyboard is vertical.

    2) It shows the status bar.

I do not understand. Out of all logic.

It makes no sense to continue to develop new features when there are unresolved bug from Adobe air 3.

We put bugs on bugs .......

!It was better macromediaaaaaa
