check @JoãoCésar's links but i gave up trying to get android studio to make the conversion. i spent many hours trying to get an aab that would be accepted by googleplay. and beware, that any link that's more than 1 year old is likely to be non-applicable to the current situation.

i had a lot to learn, but it was quicker and more rewarding to use unity.  it's up-to-date and there's lots of current help available online.

No wonder I've been suggesting to Adobe to include a new document type in Animate for mobile and desktop app and game development. This new document could use a lower-level language that is very popular, with active communities and having fresh, up-to-date information.

i'd like that, but it seems to me, based on the updates in the past few years, adobe's focus for animate is as a drawing tool for cartoons.

True...

Hi.

These two links may help you to at least get started:

https://www.reddit.com/r/as3/comments/owag5h/building_aab_with_flash_develop_working_experience/

https://medium.com/@kanellopoulos.leo/air-apache-flex-2021-how-to-prep-upload-android-app-bundle-f23...

There's also the AIR Package Manager that is being developed by Distriqt:

https://forum.starling-framework.org/d/22650-air-package-manager

https://github.com/airsdk/apm

https://gamua.com/blog/2021/08/starling-27/

I also recommend that you look for Animate, AS3, and AIR related groups on Facebook. Users have been talking about it a lot over there.

Some examples:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnimateAS3Air/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/118921458138790/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/139306176233178/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/actionscriptAS3/

I hope these help.

Regards,

JC

One thing I forgot to mention is that Distriqt is developing an AIR Package Manager. I've just updated my first answer with the links.
