How is the Adobe AIR runtime distributed?

The Adobe AIR runtime can be distributed in a number of ways, including but not limited to:
Desktop
Downloaded and installed from the Adobe website.
Installed along with an AIR application as part of a seamless web install.
Distributed by third parties as part of a licensed distribution (typically along with an AIR application.)
Android
Downloaded from the Android Market.
Preinstalled on the device.
Distributed by third parties as part of a licensed distribution.
BlackBerry Tablet OS
The AIR runtime is preinstalled and integrated into the BlackBerry Tablet OS.

Hi Dirk.

  • Can I redistribute the Adobe AIR Runtime as part of a native installer or with my product's installer?

    Hi to All,
    Can I redistribute the Adobe AIR Runtime as part of a my
    product’s installer? So that if users don't have Adobe Air
    runtime installed then the Adobe Air runtime should be installed
    first and then simultaneously my adobe air application should be
    installed on single click, removing the difficulty of downloading
    each installer seperately.
    So is there any way so that I can package both Adobe Air
    runtime and my application into a single installer file.
    Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!.
    Thanks in Advance...

    You need to apply for it. See the details on how to do this

  • Numerous problems with the Adobe AIR runtime for Android

    I created a app on the platform Adobe AIR for Android, which requires for AIR. The app is very popular in the Android Market, but many users complain of problems with the installation of Adobe Air runtime.
    For example these phones users: LGE LG-P698, LG Pecan, HTC Wildfire. But judging by the fact that users have access to the installation of Air, their phones are compatible with it.
    Tell me how do I solve the problem?
    In addition, I have a few questions:
    1. Decides whether the problem of export application with embedded AIR runtime?
    2. I build my apps with the help of ADT. How in this case to make embeding AIR runtime?
    3. Is it possible to prompt the user to download and install older versions of AIR? Where to find its?
    I hope to help, because the problem is global.

    Hi Astraport,
    I think you should embed the air runtime in your application,

  • Distribute Adobe Air Runtime via Apple Remote Desktop

    I've be researching whether or not it's possible to distribute the Adobe Air framework via Apple Remote Desktop, but I haven't found any solutions. The Adobe Air Admin guide has this to say:
    Enterprise deployment
    IT administrators can install Adobe AIR and AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. IT administrators can deploy the following:
    •Silently install Adobe AIR using tools such as Microsoft SMS, IBM Tivoli, or any deployment tool that allows silent installations that use a bootstrapper
    No mention of Apple Remote Desktop, or any other Apple-related Enterprise deployment methods. Is this possible, or must Mac software vendors bundle the Adobe Air framework with their pkgs (and jump through the necessary licensing hoops) in order for clients to get an Adobe Air app and all it's dependencies (i.e. the Adobe Air framework) distributed to a network of Apple machines.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the interest in AIR.  You are correct that you would have to wrap everything (runtime and application) up in a .pkg for installation via ARD.  Another alternative would be to get the AIR Runtime installer on to the remote system, and then execute it via ssh.

  • Adobe AIR Runtime Redistribution and Native Installer

    Will there be new instructions for Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime Redistribution? In particular, I'm looking for instructions on how to use the runtime redistribution installer to perform a "side-car installation" of AIR 2 alongside an application that uses the NativeProcess API (and so must be built into a native installer instead of a .air file).
    Thanks!

    Thirded!
    On a test deployment using SCCM and the supplied Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files, we have managed to install our application with the 1.5.3 Air Framework with no major issues other than having to disable the Auto Update feature that doesnt really work in a corporate environment.  Everything was absolutely fine until the release of AIR 2.  Now, the test machines are prompted to install the updated Adobe Air 2 framework once a week, see an excerpt from an Adobe blog post below:
    "In addition, once a week AIR apps check to see if an AIR update is available, and if so, users are presented with the option to update to the most up‐to‐date version, helping to ensure that end users get the benefits of improved security and performance."
    That sounds great right?  Except my users (like many other corporate users) don't have Admin permissions on their machines (hence the use of SCCM), with the result being resultant error messages when a user attemptes to install the AIR framework update without the necessary permissions.
    All of the above would be fine if the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files were updated to include the latest version of the runtime.  This of course hasn't been done yet - does anyone know when this may happen?  Can anyone help me with this or offer any advice?
    I hope the above makes sense and I would really appreciate any help or advice!
    Thanks!

  • Adobe AIR runtime update dialog breaks application

    I'm working on a large project that utilizes a C++ application to house the core logic and an AIR application to display a UI. The C++ program launches the AIR UI and passes it several command line parameters, including locale and port number to call back to the C++ application with.  Under normal circumstances, this works great.
    However, when there's an Adobe AIR runtime update, things go bad.  The runtime intercepts the UI invocation, kills it, and displays the generic AIR "do you want to update?" dialog.  Whether the user presses update or cancel, the UI application eventually gets relaunched -- but without the command line parameters originally passed to it!  I presume this is a bug in the Adobe AIR runtime updater code.
    The end result of this is that the UI gets relaunched, but doesn't know how to localize itself or what port to call back to the C++ application with!  If the user relaunches, it works fine (because the update dialog won't intercept again), but by then the user experience has already been mangled.  We can't even display a localized error message to tell them to relaunch because we don't know what locale they're using any more, and we can't call back to the C++ application to ask.
    I'm trying to find solutions/workarounds to this issue.  Because AIR won't let us turn off the update check on a per-application basis, it seems like the only viable solution would be to turn off the runtime update check for the whole machine.  But altering machines settings for the benefit of one application is definitely bad form, and I'd prefer not to do that if any other viable workaround exist.
    Any ideas?

    I filed a bug report last night using that same form.
    The duplication steps are straightforward.  I can duplicate the following with 100% success on a freshly imaged Win 7 32-bit box, admin user account:
    1) Install older version of Adobe AIR framework (I tried both 1.1 and 1.5.1).  It will ask you to update.  Click "Update later".
    2) Pull up task manager and watch the process list
    3) Run ANY Adobe AIR app with some parameters (I used Adobe's Settings Manager as a sample because it's small)
    4) Note that your application appears in the task manager briefly
    5) Your app is terminated and "Adobe Air Installer.exe" appears in the task manager.  A dialog pops up asking you to update.
    6) Click cancel
    7) Your app is reinvoked without any parameters
    As for my specific case, by "session" I do mean a single launch.
    I'm not aware of an evoke event -- perhaps you meant invoke event?  The invoke event is not executing before the app terminates (in step 5 above).  I think the AIR app is just running long enough to load the runtime and then the runtime takes over from there.
    Thanks...

  • How to read serial number of adobe air runtime / flash plugin

    Hi
    Question:
    Is there a way of extracting a unique serial number (or assembly number) from the air runtime and the flash player.
    Background:
    I asked this question on Experts Exchange and the consensus was that it's not possible. However, I thought I would try here before I gave up.
    I am using flash remoting and I want to pair a user's subscription with a specific flash player or adobe air runtime. The flash application would interrogate the flash player and send it back to a database using remoting. If the serial number was correct then the user would get access. If not they would be rejected. The same would happen with an Air application but the serial number would be pushed instead of pulled.
    Mplord of EE introduced me to the Capabilities class (Flash) and the NativeApplication.nativeApplication class and method (Air). However, it's not really what I was looking for. In c# and vb.NET it's possible to extract the windows serial number from the OS and I'm looking for a similar function in as3.
    If this was possible it would be a fantastic way to protect your content and it would be really easy for Adobe to build this feature in.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kind Regards

  • Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

    Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
    In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

    I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review.  In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.

    Please see our Disable automatic updates of the runtime document.  However, please be aware that our updates include both new functionality and bug and security fixes.  I'd definitely recommend keeping an eye out for future releases and manually installing if you disable the updates.

  • How to get Adobe Air-apps to run *properly*? (Voddler ecpecially)

    First: I am running AMD64, and have installed the bin32-adob-air from AUR.
    The problem is, this does not work as it should. Air apps are never "installed" like they would be in Windows, or Ubuntu with the adobe-air from adobe installed. This causes problems with remembering configs and storing data between instances. Wimp, t.ex. will never remember my password, now matter how many times I check the remember password-box. And When running VOddler it just won't find the config file.
    I am trying to run Voddler in linux now, following this. But it won't work.
    I just get an "error reading config file" message when starting it using the adobe-air command (ie. the script from the package. Thinking the problem might be caused by the script running air apps from a temp dir, i aslo tried to run
    [gert@blad opt]$ /opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl -nodebug /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer/META-INF/AIR/application.xml /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer
    after unpacking the Voddler Files there, but no luck.
    I see that there are a newer version of Voddler out now, and I will try that, but I'd appreciate any help with this spesific issue.
    Also, I would like to know if there is any way to get the "full Air experience" where you jut click-and go, and can install Air-apps the simple, proper way "everybody else" does it. Cause Air right now is a major hassle. Is there any chance of getting the Adobe-Air installer from Adoe work on Arch, or at least get a similar result? Integrated in the system, detected in the browser on  webpages etc.

    I guess voddler cancels the DRM "lease" as soon as the error box pos up, giving me this question. Seems Firefox doesn't communicate properly with the air-app. Or something else I don't get. complete output from firefox run: pastebin
