Provides the tools necessary to build and deploy Adobe AIR applications

Adobe AIR SDK for Mac

Adobe AIR SDK for Mac

  -  Freeware
Adobe AIR SDK (from HARMAN) for Mac provides the tools you need to package and deploy Adobe AIR applications if you prefer working with a text editor or another development environment.

Note for anyone extracting this release over the top of a previous one, please delete the old 'MainWindow.nib' and 'MainWindow-iPad.nib' files from your old SDK location prior to copying the new files. These names are now used as folder names so you would get an error "Missing objects-13.0+.nib" if these did not copy properly.

Note too that 33.1.1.50 had an incompatibility with Flex applications due to the updated function signatures used in the flash.geom package, to provide the 'object pooling' functionality. To avoid further issues the APIs have been reverted, and object pooling is now provided via new method names that reflect the original names with "ToOutput" appended.
