Was Once Great…
We developed a popular mobile and desktop RPG utility in Adobe AIR. The flexibility of Adobe AIR made it possible to leverage our old Flash skill set to seamlessly provide tools for both users at home and on the go. The entire development cycle for the app was built around Adobe AIR.
- Flexible Deployment
- Solid API with AS3
- Once had strong user base
- No longer supported by Adobe
- Dwindling user base
- Lack of new functionality
- Cross-Platform Publishing
- Familiar AS3 API
- Easy to work with
- A cost effective way to publish to many platforms from one code base
- Didn’t have to retrain in new APIs
- Could publish to both iOS and Android
Originally, Adobe AIR was the only game in town, and its blend of flexibility in platforms it could publish to (PC, Mac, iOS, Android), ease of use, and familiarity made it the clear choice. Now Adobe no longer supports it, and we’ve found the transition to Harmon unworkable for us.
We were using it for HTML content on client websites and other web development tasks, which is a growing part of our business. However, it's no longer being supported by Adobe, which is very unfortunate. So we are moving to something else soon but will continue using AIR until it can no longer be updated etc. or it stops working.
- Easy to learn
- Works efficiently
- Seamless integration
- Adobe support (when it was still being updated)
- Would have been nice to keep it supported
- No updates in a long time
- Not many tutorials on advanced features
- Can no longer update it anywhere
- Adobe reliability
- Easy to learn for our freelancers
- Free
- Enabled us to take on some new projects
- Was very little ROI as it was a free application for most of it's life
We already use all the other Adobe products so it was an easy choice to use AIR for our programming type of programs. As we used it more, we found that it was very simple to learn/the learning curve was not very steep at all. We honestly didn't look at any other options, because we all agreed that we wanted to go with the Adobe product.
Develop and deploy rich Internet applications by combining JavaScript, HTML, adobe flash Professional, and ActionScript. End-users can access these applications from many types of devices including laptops, desktops, smartphones, and tablets. This cross-operating-system runtime system is currently used by the IT department and addresses two principal problems: cross-system functionality portability and ease of deployment.
- Runs on Windows, Mac OS, Android and Apple iOS.
- Allows developers to use tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Flash Professional and even text editor to develop an app.
- Adobe AIR runtime and AIR SDK are free.
- Android widgets are currently not supported in AIR.
- Not all Adobe Creative Suite applications are compatible with AIR.
- No support for desktop Linux.
- Cross-platform functionality.
- Integrates with some Adobe Creative Suite apps.
- Supported by third-party plug-ins.
- Allows easy porting of functionality and look and feel to many diverse platforms.
- Shorten development and deployment time.
- Reduced training and support costs by re-using common widgets.
Adobe AIR does not support Windows phones but works well on both Android and Apple iOS. It enables developers to build and deploy good quality applications to mobile platforms for a majority of mobile users and allows developers to build working prototypes in a relatively short period of time. It also helps if the developer is familiar with Flash.

Adobe AIR
We have used Adobe AIR to help our team build out different applications on windows, mac and android. It has amazing capabilities and allows us to build excellent applications.
- Saves and stores documents and keeps organized
- Crossplatform compatibility
- Can build without code
- Applications and secure and fast
- There are not a lot of resources out there, even from Adobe
- Not used a lot so not a lot of integrations
- Difficult to learn at first
- Interface
- Easy builds
- Offline usage and document access
- Reliable
- It has helped us build better applications and quicker
There are definitely other platforms out there that are awesome but Adobe AIR is just what our other developers were used to using but we do have some success.
