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 utilize their existing web development skills (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and ActionScript) to build high-performance, engaging applications that function outside a web browser. Adobe AIR provides access to device features like microphones, cameras, GPS, and accelerometers, making it a versatile tool for cross-platform development.
