What are Adobe's plans regarding AIR on Windows Phone?

Much ink has been spilled during the last years about different controversies regarding Flash on mobile devices and whether it has any future. Some it has while other maintain there isn't.
Can anyone point out any official information or other tidbits that would shed light on whether Adobe is interested in porting AIR to Windows Phone?

I can't speak much to Adobe's intent, but I believe I can speak to the
results of their actions. There is very little market for mobile AIR. In
fact, I get flat refusals, and often irritation for even having brought
it up when I just mention it. There is no future for Flash / AIR for
mobile apps, because Adobe hasn't marketed it that way.
It may be different for games, but I doubt it, since no one really know
what AIR is, and everyone "just knows" Flash doesn't work on mobiles.
Flash evangelists have been pretty much saying Flash is just for games,
but they've focused even in narrative mostly on leveraging their huge
desktop install base, rather than a traditional tech platform narrative
of expansion.
For myself, I wouldn't use Flash for client's mobile app, because Adobe
isn't promoting it's use that way, and as a result, it'll be an uphill
battle to convince anyone to buy that without Adobe's backing, and it'll
hard to find developers who are capable in that area, because they've
all moved on to other technology. There are other app platforms out
there with much more vibrant developer communities.
I'd also say that if they ever do decide to re-engage, Adobe may want to
take AIR, stage3d, and AVM3 and call it something completely different.
The Flash brand is pretty damaged at this point. Better to leave that in
the browser era, and move on.

    what are the payment plans Apple has for international buyers

    There are none.  If you want to buy an iPhone, then you'll need to go and buy one from an Apple store in your country or one of the phone carriers in your country that offer iPhones.  If you live in a country that does not have an Apple store, then go to an Apple re-seller.  You may be able to purchase online if there is an Apple store online for your country.
    These are your alternatives.

  • Adobe air on Windows phone 10 ?

    Hi all,
    Windows phone is more and more popular every day.
    I still haven't bought a windows phone only because Adobe AIR is not supported on it.
    Do we have any idea if Adobe will release adobe AIR on windows phone in the future ? (maybe with windows 10 ?)
    I can't understand why Adobe don't do it....

    That's a good point. I was wondering the same thing, since Windows 10 is the next big thing and it is coming to every Windows devices, it seems to me that it would be the perfect time for Adobe to jump in! Having access to the Windows mobile world make AIR the prime choice for developping mobile and desktop apps.

  • Microsoft health "notifications are not supported in this version of windows phone"

    Adding some tiles to my Band shows the 'Notifications are not supported in this version of Windows Phone' error.
    The affected tiles include calls, mail, Facebook, Cortana and Facebook messenger. My Lumia 630 is running on the version 8.10.14234.375 of WP8.1 Preview for Developers. Microsoft Health is Version 1.3.10424.1. Microsoft Health is allowed to run
    in Background.

    Never mind. It's actually working now.
    The health app wasn't presenting me with a request to access notifications. Strangely on the 4th or 5th time opening the app it did.

  • What are the differences between Mac Air and Mac Pro?

    What are really the main differences between the Macbook Air and the MacBook Pro?
    I am thinking of getting a laptop by mac. I like the prices of the Air but the Pro seems better performance.
    However my needs are internet, email, word processing and some photos, pictures etc.
    would i still be able to do many good applications on the Air vs the Pro?
    suggestions please?
    thanks

    The base model current 2013 Air will perform faster and better in general than the base model 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro.
    Ive got both of them. 
    On the Air:
    Faster wifi (by far) 802ac
    Faster boot and read/ write due to SSD
    Much longer battery life due to Haswell upgrade made in June
    Crisper sharper screen, better to stare at for long periods
    MUCH FEWER parts to go bad,.....also only one moving part, the Fan
    No HD to crash from mechanical failure
    Packing the AIr around is a dream since is nearly the weight of an Ipad.
    Dont get fooled like most do in seeing the super-skinny AIr as less than a full power machine, ....thats always someones first huge mistake when they see one.
    Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

  • Baffled! What are adobe acrobat 8.1 standard and adobe reader 8.1.05

    My laptop has installed adobe acrobat 8.1 standard. I need to complete an online form which requires a minimum of adobe reader 8.1.05 so I downloaded adobe reader X, assuming this would work, but get a pop-up notice telling me I need to upgrade and still cannot insert text in the form. Can anyone advise me what I need to download? I really am confused what the adobe acrobat does and what the reader does!

    The developer very poorly phrased the requirement.
    The proper phrasing could be "You need to update your version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to minimum version of 8.1.05."
    Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat are 2 distinct products, one only reads the other is a full processing product., but both products interact with the same file format and for the same version number Adobe Acrobat has the same capabilities that Adobe Reader has and then some features that are unique to Acrobat.
    With JavaScirpt a developer can identify the product (Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat), the variation (Reader, Standard, Professional, Business Tools) and the major and minor version of the product. And with that information and knowledge of the capabilities of each version, can make a custom message for the end user if a newer version is needed. This script can be executed as the PDF is opened. With some simple coding the developer could have even cusotmized the message for the procuct that tue user had. Had this been done, it would have been very clear as what you had to do. This information and properties have been avilable since the introduction of JavaScript in vesion 3.01.

  • My Wish List - Please, comment what are in your plans.

    Guys, I really liked M7... But, some essentials features are missing...
    The first item is really essential to me. There my list comes:
    * Multiple Web Directory. For instance, thing on this project layout:
    PATH: src/test/java
    WHAT: Java test code
    OUTPUT: target/test-classes
    PATH: src/main/java
    WHAT: Valuable Java code
    OUTPUT: target/site.war/WEB-INF/classes
    PATH: target/generated-source/java
    WHAT: Generated java code. Actually I use for xwork and webworks generated
    files by xdoclet.
    OUTPUT: target/site.war/WEB-INF/classes
    PATH: src/main/web
    WHAT: Valuable Web files
    OUTPUT: Its should be /target/site.war but its not possible now.
    PATH: target/generated-source
    WHAT: Generated web files, I have a lot of them. From web.xml to images and
    javascript. web.xml,
    jboss-web.xml and struts xmls files (when I use Struts) generated by
    xdoclet. Images and javascripts
    are just unzipped from special libraries jar by maven.
    OUTPUT: Its should be target/site.war but its now possible now.
    When it will be possible, WOW! It will be perfect. Its like IDEA does.
    * ${variable.property} insigth... Like when I type ${ plus control+tab a
    list of variables and so a list of fields.
    * <%-- <nitrox:el-value name="" value=""/> --%> to show printed values on
    design time. Like:
    <%-- <nitrox:el-value name="custome.name" value="Someone Something Someway
    Anything"/> --%>
    <%-- <nitrox:el-value name="customer.age + 20" type="56"/> --%>
    Hi, ${customer.name}, Do you know if I get your age and add 20 its
    ${customer.age + 20}
    And so, you could show sample values pritend on design time.
    * Velocity Support
    * Freemaker Support
    * Jelly Support
    * OGNL support. (http://www.ognl.org/) Every new cool frameworks uses this.
    Its will be a killer feature.
    * Webworks support. (Okay, its just a dream)

    Just for your curious.
    The wish number 1 (multiple directory) prevents me for buy NitroX to the
    factory. We re planning to acquire a JSP editor but we cant change our
    layout now and I believe that all files in the same directory is not a good
    pratice. (Even the libaries jars go on what should be source diretory).
    Take a look on Maven praticies. They are good.
    The other ones are just sugestion and I would buy with or without.
    By the way, I just tried to send some feedback. I really liked NitroX, its
    fast, stable... Just the project layout is not so good... So I tried to send
    some feedback to help you. I tried a lot o tools and I didnt send any
    feedback because I didn't like them.
    Thanks
    Jose Luiz Junior

  • Poor data coverage in Wadsworth, IL What are Verizon standards, what are Verizon's plans.

    Verizon customer since about 1988, ready to blow my top because I am paying for a data plan for years and years and get very spotty coverage at home. I have had big problems since 4gLTE was introduced, been patient for over 2 1/2 years and now just really want to stop hearing the 4G hype, and start actually seeing some bars of signal when I am at home, enough already. I did a speed test today after about 90 minutes of not being able to use LTE or CDMA for data and it's time for some answers. Speed test results:  Download speed:  0.51 Mbps  (yes thats a zero in from of a decimal)  Upload is 0.17 (another 0  leads that number as well).  I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to arrive in a few days, and by god I just read in these forums that the phone does not pick up signal well. That is all I need. How about getting real about infrastructure in the Gurnee, IL area and north. I live less than 2 miles from Highway 41, why does nothing work here?

    I have put phone to safe mode and no difference in signal. I am out of safe mode now and at -110dBm 4g. At least it is connected to LTE. Could customer service please open a ticket to check tower (s)  affecting 1 mile south of Wadsworth,IL and I will check back in a day or two, when I also have the Note 3.  I get so mad going to the Verizon store exactly 7.4 miles away, full signal there, just banging.  Bet there isn't another tower any closer to me than that one the store uses to light up all their stuff.But this has been going on for over 2.5 years, just to re-iterate.
