What is Adobe AIR?
Since its release in 2008, the Adobe AIR runtime has enabled developers to create and deploy Flex, ActionScript and HTML-based content as standalone desktop apps, as well as native iOS and Android apps running on mobile devices since 2010. We’ve been impressed by the broad set of AIR apps and games created by the developer community – reaching hundreds of millions of desktop and mobile devices. Adobe values the work of the developer community, and we’ve incorporated feedback received over the years into our runtimes and product roadmaps.
Adobe remains committed to providing exceptional tools and services for designers and developers to create engaging content. We also leverage our robust partner ecosystem to enhance product development and meet our customers’ needs with evolving desktop and mobile app development tools.
As of June 2019, Adobe is transitioning ongoing platform support and feature development of AIR to HARMAN. This will coincide with an Adobe-issued update of AIR, v32, for supported mobile and desktop platforms. HARMAN has a long-standing history as an Adobe AIR partner, maintains knowledge of the platform and ecosystem, and is well-positioned to support AIR developers moving forward.
Comments and Reviews
From Adobe AIR website:
Adobe is increasingly investing in mobile devices. As such, we are changing our distribution model for Linux and will no longer invest in the development of a desktop Linux operating system version of Adobe AIR or the AIR SDK. The last version to support desktop Linux is AIR 2.6
