Adobe AIR: A Cross-Platform Development Environment

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 expertise (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and ActionScript) to build high-performance, engaging applications that operate independently of a web browser. AIR provides access to device features like microphones, cameras, GPS, and accelerometers, making it a versatile tool for cross-platform development.
