Adobe AIR

Adobe AIR is a runtime environment empowering developers to create native applications and games for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android using a single codebase. This allows developers to leverage their web development skills (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and ActionScript) to build high-performance applications that operate outside a web browser. AIR provides access to device features like microphones, cameras, GPS, and accelerometers, making it a versatile cross-platform development tool.
