Will it be possible to make apps with air after 2020?

[Offensive5E8D]

Just asking!

[Offensive5E8D]

Will i be able to publish them into devices? Will they still be able to work properly?

[marchbold]

Yes, the AIR SDK is completely unrelated to the Flash plugin end-of-life.

Harman are actively developing the AIR SDK

[Offensive5E8D]

I mean i heard that adobe air was about to be discontinued after 2020

[marchbold]

Adobe will no longer be developing it after 2020, instead Harman have taken over the development in a licensing agreement with Adobe. Perhaps that is what you heard, just missed the second half? 🙂

[Offensive5E8D]

So making things in AIR is useless now? Will phones still support it?

[Lars Laborious]

No, AIR persists. Phones will still support it, as you can continue to make iOS and Android apps with AIR.

[marchbold]

AIR is still very active and a very valid platform to develop applications in, both for desktop (windows/macOS) and for mobiles (Android/iOS) and even android tv and tvOS.
