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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><a href="https://services.harman.com/partners/adobe">HARMAN</a> (a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.) designs and engineers connected products and solutions for automakers, consumers, and enterprises worldwide. HARMAN’s software services power billions of mobile devices and systems that are connected, integrated and secure across all platforms, from work and home to car and mobile. Adobe has a long history collaborating with HARMAN, which is a key partner for Flash runtime migration and enterprise support as companies transition their existing ActionScript and Flex applications to new technologies. HARMAN has also been supporting customers with bespoke versions of Adobe AIR for the past decade.</p> <p>Adobe will provide basic security support – limited to security fixes only for desktop platforms (Windows 7 and above, and Mac OS X) – for Adobe AIR v32 until the end of 2020. After that time, Adobe support for AIR will be discontinued and ongoing support will be managed by HARMAN and communicated by them directly. However, beginning with the release of AIR v33 by HARMAN, developers should contact HARMAN directly for AIR support on both mobile and desktop platforms – including bug fixes, platform compatibility, and new and improved functionality.</p> <div class="recommended-articles"> <div> <div> <p><a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/08/10/top-5-reasons-to-attend-max-2022">https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/08/10/top-5-reasons-to-attend-max-2022</a></p> <p><a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/08/23/level-up-your-ui-ux-design-skills-at-adobe-max">https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/08/23/level-up-your-ui-ux-design-skills-at-adobe-max</a></p> <p><a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/07/27/day-in-the-life-of-a-3d-designer">https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/07/27/day-in-the-life-of-a-3d-designer</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer></footer> </body> </html>
