You can build with CS5 - basically, you create an AIR swf (using standard desktop settings) then you can use the free SDK and a bat file (or the command line) to compile the AIR/Playbook app.

I was able to build a Playbook app with Flash CS5 using this technique.

You can even do the same for iOS - in fact many folks using Flash CS5.5 are doing this to get at the interpreter builds in AIR 2.7 for iOS (since they compile so much more quickly, and can't be built from the GUI).

Thanks Jason,

Guessed that would be the case.

I was badly briefed and the app is an AIR for Android app to run on a
Samsung Galaxy TAB. Do I need to get CS5.5 to compile for Android? I have
CS5 but there is no mention of an Android packager only the iPhone packager.
I'm sure I was shown that you could compile Android apps from Flash CS5.

I saw online there was an Android extension by adobe but they have taken it
down since the release of CS5.5.

Thanks all,

If you have a CS5 suite do you get a free upgrade to CS5.5?
Can't help you with your other questions, but I do know the answer to that
one is unfortunately no.

Hi All,

Hope you are all well. I have just returned to work after a 4 month break
seeing a little of the other side of the world. I have been asked to make a
Blackberry Playbook app with AIR (it just got released in the UK) and hoping
for any pointers anyone has- particularly if I NEED to get FlashBuilder 4.5
or if I can use FlashBuilder 4 / Flash CS5 (which I already have)? If you
have a CS5 suite do you get a free upgrade to CS5.5?

Cheers,
