Download Adobe AIR 50.2.1.1 Download | TechSpot

Adobe AIR and the Adobe Flash platform unleash the creativity of designers and developers by providing a consistent and flexible development environment for delivering applications across devices and platforms. Support for additional platforms, including Android, is under development.

Native process API

Create native installers that allow you to launch and communicate with native processes using standard input and output. Using the native process API, communicate with native libraries built using Java™ and .NET and native applications such as “grep” for file browsing. You can also create operating system-specific installers (native installers). Applications that use the native process API must be deployed using a native installer.

Native document managers for opening documents

Open documents in popular file formats such as PDF, PSD, DOC, PPT and MP3 using the native program associated with that file. For example, opening an MP3 file will launch iTunes on systems where iTunes is the default application for MP3 files.

Local microphone API

Record audio locally on your device without the need for a server.

UDP network support

Take advantage of runtime support for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to build time-sensitive, real-time network applications such as multiplayer games.

WebKit with HTML5/CSS3 support

Take advantage of new features like CSS transformations, animations, and canvas support.

Detection of mass storage devices

Discover when mass storage devices such as cameras and USB memory drives are available to sync files such as photos, videos, MP3s or other files.

Improved drag and drop support

Copy files to the local machine by dragging them out of the Adobe AIR application and onto the desktop. This enables new user interaction possibilities for applications such as content management systems or online stores.

Socket servers and peer-to-peer applications

Build peer-to-peer applications or local servers that make it easier to communicate with other local applications or remote applications over the network.
