Exactly thats where it comes in picture. The library doesnt use the flash version. Instead it uses the MapView component that comes in MapKit framework in cocoa library for iOS . See this : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/_index.html
The native applications on iOS also use this view to show Maps on their application. So this ActionScript library provided in form of Native extension (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/extending- air.html) will allow AIR developers to use Google Maps in their Applications without any dependency on the Flash APIs that are going to be deprecated. This AS library will use the Obj-C functions in the back.
