We - along with thousands of other teams worldwide - have finally crossed that line for the first time, and successfully launched both an Android and iOS release because of AIR. We're using raw sockets, remoting, p2p, encrypted local db, encrypted storage, native code using ANEs for deviceCheck, Attestation and Verify Apps, Social Network integration, analytics and push notification with bi-directional threads handling image manipulation and large data management, and wirelessly connected microcontrollers. We're rendering our interface directly to the GPU so our UI transitions between views, scrolls lists and so much more as smoothly as any native UI and supported on every phone factor display. Starling and Feathers have finally brought all that Flex could have been - all that it wanted to be - to life, right on the GPU. We have development scalability with battle tested MVC framework Robotlegs -- ALL with NO FEAR of a need to refactor because of underlying platform changes. We can do SO MUCH so solidly, on a single code base and now with swift support, the same family of languages - I almost feel guilty when talking to other developers going through the nightmare of a young technology. Slight smirk at the native developers! AIR was once the goto platform for Enterprises everywhere... Criminals began focussing on the billion+ potential victims that Flash offered and along came Jobs... AIR and Flash were thrown into the same hell, demonized and ridiculed.. nothing could have stood up to that onslaught. That was the beginning of the end - we've just smashed through the end - and started a whole new beginning and it's called AIR 30! I just wanted to THANK the company and the brilliance that have made this possible for all of us developers - stand up and feel the LOVE! THANK YOU!!
