Hi Chris, thanks for taking a look and report this. I think this is a big issue that we all should discuss. So changing the topic to [Discuss]. A clear action is needed from the PMC here.
For me the options are: 1.- Make SWF something optional in all the builds and releases, but not required. So SWF target can become obsolete and not maintained or seen as an issue for releasing. People can add manually the Flash Player in its repo if they have it and continue building and ensure things continue working, but the JS will be the main and unique requested target until we have another like WASM in the future (if that happen on day). The main problem will be that Apache Royale will lose eventually the double target we have right now as something we know is working, at least in an official way. 2.- As Chris said, see if there's some way to make Adobe provide a special use case for the playerglobal.swc and let us use it. I think that not should be a problem since that bits are not really useful or harmful without the Flash Player to run things on browsers. But I figure the Adobe response will be just a simple "NO". But we can try before falling back to option 1. For this to happen I think someone like Alex Harui that is inside Adobe can move the threads internally or just let to us and give some Adobe contact to ask for this permission. I think the Apache Flex donation to Apache seems to me broken without this, since the project is now broken, and Apache Royale is in the same boat. More options? Thoughts?
