Adobe AIR
Adobe designed Adobe AIR, a cross-platform environment to run applications that use Adobe Flash, Apache Flex, HTML (HyperText Markup Language), and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). These applications are run on desktop computers or mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets. Adobe AIR supports applications running on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS (Operating System), and iOS. To utilize the features provided in Adobe AIR, users must build Flash applications specifically for Adobe AIR.
Adobe AIR uses Adobe Flash Player as a runtime environment, and the programming language used to design it is ActionScript 3. The first release of Adobe AIR, originally called Apollo, was on March 19, 2007, as a public preview release. It was renamed AIR on June 10, 2007. The first official release of Adobe AIR, version 1.0, was released on February 25, 2008. Version 33.1 is the latest as of March 23, 2022.
