To add to this (and responding to one of the earlier messages) - you need AIR 33 (soon) if you publish to mobiles, due to the changes that Google and Apple keep imposing. But on desktops there's no real reason to update things; even with Catalina, you can still use AIR 32 if you take a few extra steps to avoid some of the quarantine issues etc.
We're in a bit of a transition period currently, I'm uncomfortably aware that there are still teething issues with the AIR SDK versions that we're putting out at the moment, but the goal is to end up with a more sustainable version of AIR that can be used for the next 10 years. Ultimately though, yes everyone has a choice of technologies, and they all come with a risk of obsolescence.. I don't really see Flex or AIR as 'sinking ships', but then I probably see a lot more of the activity that goes on and the large number of very big companies who are still dependent on it and who are going to still be dependent on it post 2020..! cheers -----Original Message----- From: Hans Nuecke <hnue...@vservu.de> Sent: 09 March 2020 15:55 To: users@flex.apache.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Flex 4.16.1 broken for AIR33.1? I do: You have to pay for the new version if I want to publish it as captive runtime version. That's why I test with v33, but use v32 for the final delivery. I still love Air and Flex. It is a perfect solution for my desktop based product (Windows and maOS). But I feel more and more uncomfortable and might start a new development soon; based on an actual mainstream framework. Which for me (unfortunately) isn't Royale neither ;-( For the browser based part of my product we already made the switch to JavaScript (hic!) and vue. So it might be a good advice to leave the sinking AIR/Flex ship in time?! I really appreciate all your work, but at the end I need a secure and comfortable base that takes me through the coming 10 years... And emails like these ones don't give me the level of comfort I'm seeking... Just my 2 cts.
